From NPPSD Director of Communications Tina Smith
This evening I would like to outline the district plan regarding the balance of this school year. After significant consideration, the district has decided that to best assist in the reduction of the spread of COVID- 19 or the Coronavirus, we will be canceling all on-campus or in-person classes for the remainder of this school year. We will move all education, PK- 12, to remote learning effective the week of March 30th. Remote learning will conclude on May 15, 2020; this is three days ahead of our planned schedule.
During the week of March 23rd, principals will communicate with students and families as to what this will entail for their particular school. Until this time, we ask that you give our principals and teachers time to plan for instruction and make arrangements for materials and personal items to be picked up.
Seniors, NPHS staff are working to ensure all graduation requirements are met on or before May 13, 2020. Due to the ever-changing climate of this virus, we will announce plans for prom and graduation as those dates approach. It is important to note that if we were to make a decision today based on the current CDC guidelines, neither of these events would be allowed to occur. We ask that you plan on the side of caution until additional guidelines are provided.
I do realize this is a great deal of information and ask that you check your email for a copy of this information. Additionally, we invite you to join us remotely for the 10:00 a.m. press conference to be hosted tomorrow, Friday, March 20, 2020, by Dr. Ron Hanson, NPPSD Superintendent. Please watch through local media outlets.
Families, our thoughts are with each of you. We hope that you take this evening to discuss the details of this change with your family. Please take a moment to watch the video Rooted In Love by Mike Smith, it is posted to this message and is shared to our Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/nppsd.org/.
