Middle school
For students in grades 6th through 8th.
Everything you need to know and do to ensure your child is back-to-school ready!
Welcome to a new school year!
We are excited your family will be a part of our middle school. We are always looking for volunteers to lead middle school small groups, attend class field trips, help in the lunch room etc. Please reach out if you want to know more about how to get involved!
I do have a special request. You know your child so much better than I ever will. If you have a few minutes, send me an email with your child’s strengths, struggles…who they really are. I want to have significant interactions with your child this school year!

Schoology is an important tool for parents and students in grades K-12. Find your student’s coursework, grades, classroom and school wide news all in one place.
If you already have an NPC Schoology account, please take a minute to make sure you can sign in so you don’t miss anything. If you are a returning family, but you are adding additional students, you should see all of your students already linked to your account.
If you are new to NPC, look for an email from our Tech Director Nicole Crawford on Monday, August 12th. This email includes your student’s one-time access code and detailed instructions to create a Schoology account.
