District News

 

In an effort to share information from the district more regularly, we have created the NPS District News newsletter. This newsletter will include information on district-wide information and events. It will also highlight some of the great work our teachers, staff, and students are doing throughout the district. You can expect this newsletter in your in-box every other week.
