Principal's Update

Dear NBC Parents,


Happy Halloween! On behalf of the entire team here at NBC, I want to wish you and your family a festive and safe Halloween. As our students prepare to celebrate, please remind them to stay safe while trick-or-treating, whether by traveling in groups, using flashlights, or sticking to well-lit areas. We hope they enjoy all the fun that Halloween brings!


As a reminder, the second quarter begins on Monday, and report cards for the first quarter will be sent home with your child next week. This is a great time to discuss their achievements and set new goals for the months ahead. Also, please take a few minutes to review our latest school newsletter, which includes updates on school activities, upcoming events, and community resources. We look forward to a successful and productive second quarter with your continued support!


As always, if you have questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at 231-894-5617 or by email at perreaultj@mapsk12.org
