NPS staff spent the day today preparing for the Distance Learning Plan. Tomorrow, elementary students will receive packets to take home that will cover 10 days of instruction. Secondary students (6-12) will pick up Chromebooks and chargers so that they will be able to access instruction via Google Classroom. Special Education staff has also been preparing specific online and at home learning plans for students with disabilities as well as plans for providing services. NPS is also finalizing access to meals for students with more information available tomorrow. Students will be directed to bring home any necessary school materials, including books and musical instruments. 

As NPS begins to implement at-home learning, parents and students will receive further instructions via email tomorrow.
