The Spring season is rolling, and we've unfortunately hit a bit of rough weather this week. Thank you for all of your patience and flexibility as we work on reschedules.

We have a ton going on over the next couple of months, so please be sure you are keeping up with our newsletters. If you think you may have missed a newsletter from Activities, Dr. Shelmire, or our Counseling department you can always visit our parent landing page to catch up. See the link below!

Many North Point programs have confirmed their youth camps for this summer! Please take a look at the pdf linked below for more specifics. Each linked camp will take you to the sign up page to register today!

If you have any questions about sports/activities camps, please reach out directly to the head coach using the links contained in the information sheet.

Concession sales make up the majority of fundraising money for our Grizzly Way Booster Club. We rely on parent volunteers to staff the concession stand so we can continue to give back to our students!

The booster club has given back over $100,000 in just about 3 years of giving, thank you so much for your continued support!

Use the link below to sign up for spring concessions today, $20 will go back to the organization of your choice when you fill a shift.

Congrats to Junior Katharine Tyson on being named Student Athlete of the Month for February! Katharine excels in the classroom and also had an awesome run to the State Wrestling Tournament this winter.

The guard wrapped up their performance season at Ozark HS over the weekend. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication this winter!

The girls soccer team is off to a great start on the season with wins over Hannibal and Troy. They'll look forward to drier conditions and games next week v. FZE and FZN.

The JV team had a great 8-0 over Lutheran St. Charles this week, nice work ladies!

Rain has limited our lower level games so far this spring, but Varsity is off to a great 8-3 start!

Congrats to Gus Nenninger who tossed a 5 inning complete game no hitter in the Grizzlies 10-0 win over FHC.

Boys tennis is off to a solid 2-2 start so far this year with wins over Timberland and FZN! The team is playing well and have a busy week next week with matches v. FHC, FZS, and St. Charles.

Good luck Gentlemen!

The boys volleyball team has picked up early season wins against Troy, Warrenton, and Orchard Farm to start the season. They have a busy week next week and will cap it off trying to defend their Nixa Tournament Championship on 4/12.

It has been a great start to the year for the track and field team. They've battled through some windy conditions at both of our home track meets to start the year, but that hasn't stopped the team from setting new NP speed records!

This weekend's meets were cancelled but both the boys and girls teams will be back in action next week. Lower levels of both teams will be at SCW on Wednesday, while the Varsity Girls will visit Timberland on Friday, and Varsity boys will be at Eureka.

The boys competed today at the Missouri Military Academy Tournament, and our JV team got some work in earlier this week at the JV Washington Tournament.

Jake Prinster returns to lead the Grizzlies this spring, good luck guys!

Having great attendance is a must for athletes and activities participants. Not only does being in class regularly help with your grades, but it is required to be able to participate on a day when your sport or activity has a contest or game!

Our North Point parents have been great so far about keeping my office up to date, thank you for your efforts! Here are a few quick reminders:

- If your student will miss all or a portion of a school day that falls on the same date as a game/contest, this absence will need to be pre-approved by Dr. Adams.

- Parents should email Dr. Adams at least 24 hours in advance of the absence on a contest day, including partial absences for doctors appointments. He will respond back approving or denying the ability to play/participate.

- Students should bring a doctor's note back with them to give to the attendance office upon their return.

- Remember, any absence that isn't pre-approved (including leaving school for lunch or for forgotten items at home) on the day of a contest will make the student ineligible to compete that day.

- Be careful with Fridays or days prior to breaks, if the contest is on a Saturday and the absence occurs on a Friday, a student will not be eligible to compete on Saturday.

- All absences should be called in or emailed to the attendance office, and absences from a practice should be communicated directly with coaches and sponsors.

Thank you for your continued help!
