Fall school picture retake day is on Monday, September 14! Please remember school appropriate attire is required for Wagner to take your picture. Students will be called down based on last name and grade level starting with freshmen. Pictures will take place in our auxiliary (small) gym. If a student attends Lewis & Clark, CAPS, Pearce, or another off-campus program, we will have them take their picture first.
Seniors, if you did not get your picture taken over the summer, this will be your last opportunity to get your picture taken for the yearbook.

The week of September 28, I will share with you all the links in order to schedule conferences with our staff.

FINAL REMINDER...you must complete all annual online registration forms within Focus. One of these forms is the RUP (Responsible Use Policy). Students will NOT have Chromebook internet permissions until their guardian has accepted and signed the RUP form. Be sure your student has access to their District Chromebook by completing all of the online registration forms in Focus.
Accounts will be deactivated on Tuesday, September 8 for any student who does not have completed forms.

We will contact you if we need additional information. Please note these take time for processing and we will get back to you ASAP, if needed.
EVERY DAY MATTERS...we miss our Grizzlies when they are not in attendance! Our attendance secretary at NPHS is Mrs. Krista Anderson. If you are needing to contact her about an absence, please email attendance.northpoint@wsdr4.org or call her at 636-445-5344 ext. 29223. We have a kiosk outside the attendance office for signing your student in and out of school. You will need to download the Focus App, then login and click on the teal barcode in order to scan your student in and out of school.
Please note that signing your student out during WIN Time (lunch) DOES count against their attendance. We do NOT have an open campus during lunch for students to leave. If you need to sign your student out during this time, please try to contact the attendance office ahead of time as students are not able to use their phones during the school day.
WSD high school students can register and pay for the fall ACT, ASVAB, Workkeys, Pre-ACT, and PSAT/NMSQT for the 2026-27 school year.

Now that we are a couple weeks into the school year, we still have some vehicles parked in our lot without parking tags. Students who are driving to school must have a parking tag hanging on their rearview mirror to park on our lot. Mr. Kappauff, our parking lot security, will be checking parking tags and monitoring our lot for everyone's safety. Please note that vehicles parked in our lot without a parking tag next week will be given one final reminder with a sticker on the edge of their driver side mirror.
If you have not purchased a parking pass and are a licensed driver without fines, please see Mrs. Evans in the main office to pick up your parking tag. You will need a current driver's license, valid insurance card, and to have completed the following two steps in Focus....
Step 1 - Purchase your parking permit through FOCUS for $30.00 under Purchase & Pay.
Step 2 - Enter the required vehicle information into FOCUS by going to the Child Information menu, then Transportation. Select Student Driver, then complete the following fields...
* Car Make
* Car Model
* Car Year
* Car Color
* License Plate
DO NOT enter permit number as that will be different from prior years.
Student drivers are welcome to park in the front or side lot (by the football field). Please note the first row in each lot is reserved for staff parking. The back lot (by our auditorium) is for bus drop-off and pick-up only.
The district is offering an insurance program for your child’s Access Initiative Device (Chromebook). The cost to participate in this program is $20 annually. Chromebook insurance can be purchased online again this year. Please login to the Parent Focus Portal. Then, click on your student's name, "Purchase & Pay" and the options available to you will show up including Technology Chromebook Insurance.
Participation is optional. Coverage takes effect once payment is received, and the Access Initiative device is issued to your child. It is not retroactive. Buying into the program provides coverage only during the current school year, so from the time payment is received through the end of the school year which is June 30. The program fee is non-refundable and does not transfer to the next school year if the insurance is not used.
Please Note: The insurance covers a broken screen and a broken keyboard OR two broken screens OR two broken keyboards.
Again this school year, you can see your student's lunch account as well as make online payments through Focus. Check updated meal prices and add funds to your student’s meal account in the Focus Portal. You are always welcome to bring in cash or a check made out to NPHS and place it in the black lockbox in our main lobby, as well.
