Valentine's Day Parties
Valentine's Day parties are set to take place on Friday, February 14 beginning at 2:30. Please remember that if you plan to attend you MUST have an approved background check. If you have never done one before you will complete it at this link. If it has been a year or more since you completed one you will need to email Devinnie Wysocki at dwysocki@nbas.org to have your renewal completed. Please allow at least one week for your background check to be approved. No one without a completed background check will be admitted into the building. Thank you for your cooperation with this matter!
Update from Mrs. Haskins
We’re excited to continue to celebrate Kindness Month at New Buffalo Elementary! Our K-5 students have received a Kindness Challenge worksheet, and we encourage them to participate. Students who turn in their completed Kindness Challenge sheets to their teachers by 2/28 will receive a reward from Mrs. Haskins. Remember—It's Cool to be Kind!

The PTO needs your help!
The PTO at New Buffalo Elementary does so many wonderful things to support our staff and students! Participation has decreased over the past few years and we are asking for your help. We would love to have you attend our next meeting to give input. We don't always need help with big or time consuming things. Please consider joining us for one of our monthly meetings.
