August 2025 Update

I am writing to share some important information and resources you will need as we work in partnership this year.

Please take a few moments to review all documents, organized into the following critical categories. Each category contains multiple documents for your review. This information will help position your child for success in the new school year.

I regularly share my thoughts on key topics in education on my blog. My latest post includes important information about cell phone protocols and AI. Please take a moment to read it here npsSuperintendent.blogspot.com

In addition to my regular updates, I also want to draw your attention to the Pollard Middle School Project. We have a community meeting on Wednesday, September 10, at 6:30pm. You can attend in person at Pollard Middle School (200 Harris Ave) or on Zoom.

For more information on the Pollard Middle School Project and to receive important updates, please sign up for our mailing list via the project website. You'll also find future meeting dates, FAQs, project documents, and much more. tinyurl.com/NPSPollardProject

I want to extend my best wishes for a happy and successful school year!

Sincerely,

Dan Gutekanst
