Please call the office at 402-715-8340 if you need assistance with your access code!
If your student was absent on picture day or if your student needs their picture re-taken, retakes will be available on September 26th.
Parents may report absences by using ParentVue, however, there are a few things to remember when using this method.
- Use web browser only - the app is inconsistent and may not report your absence to the office.
- Use for all day absence only - late arrival, early out or AM/PM only absences can not be reported on the app and should be called in to the office.
- Absence can only be marked for that day - multiple day absences should be called into the office.
- Only available before 9:30 am - please call the office to report an absence after 9:30.
- If an absence was previously reported & recorded already by the office - the ParentVue absence will not go through and will send a denied email to parent.
- Once entered, the absence can only be changed by the office.
- See the link below for step-by-step directions.
- Please contact the office at 402-715-8340 with any questions or concerns.
Dear 3rd-5th Grade Norris Parent/Guardian,
During online registration, you indicated you were interested in participating in the Millard Public Schools iPad Damage/Loss Cooperative Program. You are receiving this reminder to pay the $15.00 fee in order to take full advantage of this program. This program is optional. However, we want to make sure our families are completely informed. If you have already sent in your payment or paid online, thank you!
If your child brings home his/her iPad and it is lost or damaged, you will be responsible for the full cost of the replacement or repair of the device if payment for the iPad Damage/Loss Cooperative Program has not been received prior to the loss/damage. In other words, payment into the program is not retroactive.
Students who are not enrolled in the program do not have the option to bring their iPads home overnight.
Nonpayment before the deadline of Friday, September 13th, will indicate your choice to opt-out of the program. If you choose to opt-out now, you can join at a later time with the understanding that $15.00 must be paid to the school before program benefits will begin.
To Pay Online:
Step 1: Log onto ParentVue: https://ne-mps-psv.edupoint.com/PXP2_Login.aspx (ParentVue can also be found on the Norris website and the MPS district website.)
Step 2: Select your student in the top left-hand corner
Step 3: Click on “fee” in the menu on the left side of your screen
Step 4: Click on the blue pay fees button
Step 5: Make your payment!
If you do not want to make a payment online, you may send a check or cash to school with your child.
Checks can only be accepted payable to Norris Elementary School for $15.00
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Mrs. Harris, our Tech Initiator at jmharris@mpsomaha.org

Millard South Patriots
Spark is our before and after school program at all 25 Millard Elementary schools.
We provide a safe and fun environment for all students to participate in academic, leisure and recreational activities outside of the traditional school day.
There are several benefits to your child joining a before and after school program.
Studies have shown that students in before and after school programs are more
likely to have increased academic performance, improved attendance and are
excited to learn and achieve.
Students participate in a variety of extended learning activities to help them discover their interests as well as hands on enrichment activities that encourages kids to explore, unstructured time, outside play, a homework hangout and more!
