74 Greenbury Point Road • Annapolis
MD 21402 410.757.3090 Fax: 410.757.1611 www.napschool.com Afternoon
Extended Care on special half days is only available to students
enrolled in block care. All
classes will be dismissed at 11:45 a.m. on Friday, October 29. Due to staffing
requirements only those
students currently enrolled in block afternoon care may remain at NAPS. NAPS
Magnets are available in the Admissions/Finance Office for $6.00
each. Please note that the magnets
are not carwash proof and should be removed before entering automated
carwashes. Carpool
Etiquette is expected and appreciated from all families that participate in
the carpool process. Please
remember the object of an efficient carpool is too 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! The
PK3-
Fifth Grade Halloween Parade and Concert is scheduled for 9 a.m.,
Friday, October 29, and will be held on the front soccer field. The event will
last approximately 45
minutes, and friends and family are encouraged to attend. In the event of foul
weather, staggered
parades will be held on the porch.
Detailed information will be distributed in an upcoming Tuesday
Envelope. A
PK2
Parade and Party Schedule will be distributed by the classroom
teacher. Look for detailed
information in the blue folder and an upcoming Tuesday Envelope. The
Annual NAPS 5/10K Run and Kid Fun Run is
scheduled for Sunday, November 7.
This event is a fun and rewarding way to support NAPS. We encourage each
NAPS family to pursue
one corporate sponsor! Sponsorship
and registration information is available in this Tuesday Envelope as well as
at the NAPS website. We are also
excited to participate in Active.com!
Simply visit Active.com, look for Annapolis events, and register on line
with your credit card. Middle
School Information Night is scheduled for Wednesday, October 13 at 7
p.m. Please meet on the
porch. Fifth and interested fourth
grade parents are encouraged to attend.
NAPS staff will provide an overview of the private school application
process and local options.
Information about the local public schools will also be included. ADULT
ONLY EVENT The
Scholastic Book Fair is scheduled for October 18 – 21. The success of the fair is largely due to parent volunteer
efforts and we thank everyone that volunteered to work the fair. Some shifts
are still in need of
volunteers. If you are available
Tuesday morning or Wednesday evening please contact the office. Also, 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. CONTINUED Smart
Boards are up and running in five classrooms! We must acquire
two more for the
upstairs classrooms and then will begin the quest to acquire Smart Boards for
the downstairs classrooms. NAPS
thanks all those that have supported the effort through a contribution to the
Annual Fund. We appreciate a
donation of any amount and hope you will remember the Fund when giving. All donations
are tax deductible. Uniform
Reminders, although not required regularly 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 4 and all others are Friday, November 5. Appointment schedules
will be
distributed later in October. 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. The
Facilities/Maintenance Department is compiling a list of all those willing to
help out at the school with projects throughout the year i.e., playground
mulch, parking curbs, new equipment installation, landscaping, etc. If interested,
please fill out the form
in this Tuesday Envelope and return it to the school. The
revised Post 9/11 GI Bill offers benefits to current and former service
members (and their dependents!) with a variety of military backgrounds. Many
NAPS families may not
realize how to qualify for this wonderful benefit. Please take a look at the enclosed flyer and share it with
retirees, former officers and enlisted, and those thinking of separating from the
military. A
Security/Emergency Alert System will soon be up and running for NAPS
families! We are excited about
this enhancement and look forward to the implementation of this high-tech
upgrade in communications. Look
for information regarding registration information in an upcoming Tuesday
Envelope. The Boardwalk Beach Bash was a great success and we thank
everyone for attending this evening of family fun. Thank you to Chris
Daley and Penny Moesch for
organizing the event, and to the NAPS employees and their family members that
manned the various stations. |
