Carpool Etiquette is expected and appreciated from all families that participate in the carpool process.  Please remember the objective of an efficient carpool is to keep the line moving!  We appreciate the cooperation of all those that help make carpool a smooth and easy experience.

1. Please do not cut-off oncoming NAPS families by turning left into the driveway.  Your car is recognizable and such incivility creates animosity and frustration. 
2. Please prepare children for departure prior to entering the circle and have them ready to exit the right side of the vehicle immediately.  This may mean climbing into the front seat.  This is especially helpful during inclement weather!
3. Please DO NOT EXIT the car under any circumstances during morning and 2:45 pm carpool.  Parents may pull into the black top area to fasten seat belts.
4. Please do no wait to see your child enter the building.  This is especially helpful during inclement weather as well.   Our goal is to keep the line moving!

Visible Carpool Numbers are essential to success!  Please affix the number to the right side of your windshield or behind the right visor below the tinted glass.  Please keep the number visible for the entire length of the driveway.  To ensure that your child is waiting when you pull into the circle, we call your number long before you reach us.  If you need another number or the number of another carpool family, please contact Chris Daley at cdaley@napschool.com.

Carpool Walk-in Parents are reminded to wait in the foyer for your child to be released from carpool.  It is important to keep the halls clear of visitors during this period and to ensure that each child is departing with a known adult.

School Day Visitors and Parents are reminded to check in at the main office.  Please do not go directly to a classroom for any reason.  School staff will ensure that any deliveries reach your child, or that your child is removed for an early dismissal with as little disruption to the class as possible.

The Scholastic Book Fair is scheduled for October 17 – 20.  The success of the fair is largely due to parent volunteer efforts and we thank everyone that volunteered to work the fair.  We were unable to place everyone in the more popular shifts.  Those scheduled will receive a work schedule in today’s Tuesday Envelope.  If you have any questions, please contact Volunteer Coordinator, Richard Koepp at richard.koepp@earthlink.net.

Pennies For NAPS are rolling in!  Thank you for your continuing support.  Several classes have filled their first jar and are working on their second!  Each jar holds $30, so when your child’s class fills ten jars, they will earn a movie and popcorn party.  Also, we are happy to accept your loose change of any denomination!

Uniform Reminders, although not required often, the formal uniform may be the required uniform of the day.  All students must have the pieces as described in the NAPS Handbook, pages 17-18.  Scout Uniforms may be worn to school on the day of scout meetings.  Scout uniforms should be worn in their entirety, and not mixed with pieces of the NAPS uniform of the day.  For more information see page 17 of the NAPS Handbook.  Appropriate Outerwear should be provided as the temperature begins to drop!  Please remember it is often several degrees cooler on the water.  During this transitional period we encourage you to send the NAPS sweatshirt.  If your child requires layers indoors, remember that only the NAPS sweatshirt or a blue sweater may be worn inside the building.

Parent/Teacher Conferences will be conducted for all students during the first week of November.  PK2 conferences are Thursday, November 3 and all others are Friday, November 4.  Appointment schedules will be distributed later in October.  There is NO SCHOOL on your child’s conference day.  PK2 classes only are cancelled on Thursday, November 3 and all classes are cancelled on November 4.  Temporary supervision is provided during the length of your conference only.

NAPS Yearbook preparations have begun!  Your photos are a welcome addition and we encourage parent photographers to share their photos.  Photos of classroom and school-wide events are greatly appreciated and should be directed to May Brady.  Photos cannot be returned, however we are happy to reimburse you for the cost of the copy.

NAPS News On-Line!  If you’ve misplaced your copy, need to reference a previous publication, or know other family members interested in our activities, check out our website at www.napschool.com.  Current issues are posted within hours of distribution and previous issues remain posted throughout the school year.    

Fall Field trips have begun and our students are on the move!  We greatly appreciate the assistance our chaperones offer and hope that you too find the experience rewarding.  As with our staff and students, we expect all participants to represent the school positively.  Please review the chaperone responsibilities found on page 7 of the NAPS Handbook.

NAPS Magnets are available in the Admissions/Finance Office for $5.00 each.  Please note that the magnets are not carwash proof and should be removed before entering automated carwashes.
