Please join us in January for the SEL Parent Session! We will be offering a morning and evening session for you to choose from this month, choose what works best for you: January 25th at 9am in Ms. Irwin's office or January 31st at 6pm in the auditorium. The same content will be covered in both sessions. This month our discussion will center around the topic: How to Help Your Child Understand and Talk About Feelings. All NPS parents are invited to attend! Please reach out to Ms. Rajanen (kfrajanen@cps.edu) or Ms. Irwin (mlirwin@cps.edu) with any questions.

NPS Construction

​Over the coming months, you will see various stages of maintenance and construction at NPS. Tomorrow part of the parking lot will be blocked off to repair sections of masonry on the NorthWest section of the building.
​Our request to install lighting in the playground/area was approved and is currently being scheduled. A big thank you to Alderman Napolitano who supported us in getting that work approved. We will also have another roof repair above the auditorium leak. I am continually working with CPS and Aramark on other maintenance and facilities priorities around the school. Thank you for your patience and support during this time. Go Panthers!
