REWARD FOR ENTERING YOUR VOLUNTEER HOURS! Have you filled out your volunteer application and logged your hours?

• Volunteer Application Link: https://apps.raptortech.com/Apply/NDgyOmVuLVVT – Once you enter and submit your Volunteer Application, you will have access to your own portal to log hours for all the volunteers in your family. You will also be able back log those volunteer hours you have been keeping track of since the beginning of the school year.

SCHOOL UNIFORM REMINDER – Parents, we have noticed students pushing the boundaries of the school uniform policy in areas such as collared shirts, ripped pants, headbands, and, although red is a school color, it is not school appropriate for tights, leggings, or pants. If a student wears a uniform compliant hoodie, a collared uniform shirt must be worn underneath. While jeans are allowed on Fridays, with a spirit or uniform shirt, jeans may not have holes/rips in them, even if skin is not showing through. Ripped jeans may not be worn on Dollar Dress Days.

Students who are not in appropriate school uniform clothing/footwear/head wear will be asked to call home for new clothing starting next week. Please review the school uniform policy on the website here: http://northdavisprep.org/?page_id=237

ART AUCTION – APRIL 20, 2018 – 6:00 PM at the DAVIS CONFERENCE CENTER

TICKETS ON SALE NOW! $25 per ticket gets you a lovely dinner and entrance to the greatest fundraising event ever! Buy tickets or donate here: https://ndpa.regtix.com
