Meet the Staff Night: Thursday, September 14
We are delighted to invite parents to visit their child’s community on Thursday evening, starting at 6:00pm and ending at 6:45pm. BEFORE attending, parents (“old” and new) are asked to invest 7 minutes watching this hot off the press video, NRP Explained http://siap.ps/5b3fcc The video provides parents an understanding of NRP and how we function.

If after watching the video and after visiting your child’s community, you still have questions, join the admin team and teacher representatives in the Learning Commons (library) from 6:50 – 7:30pm. The format of this gathering will be a question and answer period. As we have 830 students, we are assuming that some of our newer families may wish to ask more questions.

The video script is attached to this app notification with Chinese translation. A huge thanks to parent Sharon Yu, PAC Co-Chair, for investing many hours these past few days translating as I changed the script on her a few times 🙂 Here’s the script: 2017 Welcome 中文.pdf

Professional Development Day – Friday, September 15 (No School)
This upcoming Friday is NRP’s first Professional Development Day. Our school is closed. Our year-long school calendar can be found on the App under Documents, Bell and Calendar.

Message from the VSB
Two letters from the Vancouver School Board were intended to be sent to families and mistakenly weren’t. They were posted to our website but an app alert remained unsent. Apologies. Please refer to two letters below from the Superintendent of Schools and the Official Trustee.
