Parents are welcome to join their kindergarten student on that day.

  • Wednesday, May 10 – students come with your class to see where you will eat, hear how to go through the line, and meet the friendly lunch staff.
  • THURSDAY, MAY 11 – EAT in the Lion’s Den Café so you’ll be ready for next year (parents welcome).

SPIRIT FRIDAYS:

  • May 12- Celebrity Day: Come dressed as your favorite celebrity! Carry a stuffed animal in a handbag, do your hair in outrageous styles, bust our your best animal prints– the possibilities are endless. Again, please make sure that students are fully covered, even if you have to put a shirt or leggings underneath an outfit.
  • May 19- Single Color Day: Every year we have a color day, but we usually pick the color. This year, YOU pick the color. Do you own a lot of purple? Wear it all today! Are you a fan of chartreuse? Today’s your day to shine (literally). Your goal is simply to wear as much of one color as you can.

2017-18 IMMERSION APPLICATION OPEN UNTIL FRIDAY, MAY 12 – The NDPA Spanish Immersion program is available to students attending grades 1-6. This selection process allows currently enrolled Exposure students to apply for a Spanish Immersion opening, starting in the 2017-2018 school year. Each student interested in the immersion program must submit a separate application. The first round of applicants will be notified by email on May 22, 2017. Ongoing acceptance will be as openings in Immersion become available.

To apply for Immersion for the 2017-18 school year, go to this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RCV6L9S – The application process will close Friday, May 12.

NOTE: If your student is already in our Immersion Program, you need not reapply. They will continue in the Immersion program each year.

LIBRARY BOOKS: FINES ADMINISTERED MONDAY – The library has officially closed for the school year. To avoid being fined, please return all books as soon as possible. As a reminder, yearbooks are held until all fines are paid.

CHECK YOUR STUDENT LUNCH ACCOUNT – It’s getting close! This time of year can get very busy with all that is going on. If you would like one less thing to worry about, now would be a great time to check your student’s account and pay to the end of the year.

  • Full pay students 7-9 grade $36.00
  • Full pay students k-6 grade $30.00
  • Reduced lunch all grades $6.00

Please check your child’s lunch account and make sure they are not negative.

ECOGEEKS NEED YOUR HELP! Our newspaper recycling bin has now become a mural for us to do with as we please. So to make it less ugly, and more a statement of EcoGeeks and our school, we have set a goal to paint the entire dumpster in a mural that EcoGeeks have designed. But to be able to paint a metal dumpster, that is outside all day, takes some skill and expertise, and specialized equipment. If you, or anyone you know would be willing to help EcoGeeks complete this goal, please contact Ms. Adams today! radams@northdavisprep.org
