New Albany Primary School

To help our rising first grade students prepare for their transition to our school next year, New Albany Primary School would like to invite our current kindergarten students into the building to see some special areas of the school. The Primary School staff, including building principal Mrs. Smith, will host tours on Thursday, May 2.

In an effort to balance the groups, times will be offered based on the last name of the child. Your family may choose from the two time slots listed below:

Last Name A - L : 5:00 or 6:00

Last Name M - Z : 5:30 or 6:30

Please sign up for a tour using this link so we can plan appropriately. The intended audience for the tour is incoming first graders and their parents, and we expect tours to last around 25 minutes. The staff at the Primary School is excited to meet the new first graders!

On Tuesday, May 16, the Intermediate School will host tours for incoming fourth graders (current third grade students). Please look for an email announcement in the next few weeks from Intermediate School principal Mrs. Ballinger for specific information.

Beginning on April 23rd, students will be participating in our annual Wellness Event. This year's theme is the Summer Olympics. During your student's Wellness Rotation, they will be participating in this event for 2 days. Then, on Tuesday May 21st (Rain Date of Wednesday the 22nd), students will have Field Day which will be the closing ceremony of their Olympics Event. In order to make these events a success, we need the help of parent volunteers. Therefore, we will be sending out Sign Up links on Tuesday, April 9th at 5 pm for both events. Families will receive the sign up link for their student's Wellness Rotation as well as the link for Field Day. We ask that parents only sign up for one slot on one of the two Olympic days in order to promote fairness. However, if you have more than one student at the school, you can sign up for one slot per child. Please let either Coach Harney (harney.2@napls.us) or Coach Todd (todd.1@napls.us) know if you have any questions.

Mrs. Martin's 3rd graders will perform "Movin' Up" on Tuesday, May 7th in the Primary Cafeteria. Students from Mrs. Brewster's, Mrs. Callahans's, Mrs. Crum's, and Miss. Rubenstein's classes will perform at 6:00. Students from Miss. Fife's, Mrs. Kirven's, Mrs. Mahan's and Mrs. Priest's classes will perform at 7:15 pm. These students should arrive 15 minutes before their performances.

Mrs. Cook's 3rd graders are excited to perform their "Movin' Up" program on Wednesday, May 8th in the Primary Cafeteria. Third graders in Miss Stanavich's, Ms. Hartman's, Miss Baus', Mrs. Stryjewski and Ms. Elmer's classes will perform at 6:00 pm. Third graders in Ms. Snider's, Mrs. Warvel's, Mrs. Finley's, and Mrs. Phelps' classes will perform at 7:15 pm. Students should arrive no sooner than 30 minutes before their performance time. We look forward to performing for you.
