  • Please take a moment to review this Spring Testing Overview that was sent out to parents on March 23. It includes testing dates/times for PSAT, NWEA and M-Step. 8th graders should have received an email with specific instructions and room assignments for the PSAT.  Please contact Ms. Provo () with any questions.

  • This is also a specific testing overview for 8th graders during the week of April 19. 

• Please Remember to Use the COVID-19 Student Screener EACH DAY before your child comes to school.  REMINDER:  If you travel internationally, please follow the quarantine and testing requirements found in Question 3 on this screener.

​

• CLOSE CONTACT QUARANTINE UPDATE- Updated April 7, 2021

  • Due to the significant increase in COVID cases in our community and across Michigan in the past several weeks, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services has reinstated a standard 14-day quarantine for close contacts of COVID-19 cases effective immediately.  NPS District Communication at this link. 

• REMINDER - INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS

  • The Wayne County Health Department, as indicated on the COVID-19 Daily STUDENT Symptom Screening Tool (2.16.2021), requires that students stay home to quarantine for 7 days from the date they return to the U.S. No earlier than the 7th day of return, a student must have a COVID-10 PCR test and have a negative result before returning to school.

• Ordering a Lunch

  • If students do not bring their own lunch, families must preorder school lunches by 9am to receive lunch that day. The system will not allow you to order after 9am. For your convenience, meals can be preordered up to 30 days in advance. To avoid any issues, we recommend ordering the night before.

  • Food Service Website

• Attendance Procedures will remain the same as previous years. If your student will have a planned absence or to any of their online/hybrid classes, please call the attendance line  and state your student’s name, date, and reason for the absence. The attendance line phone number is 248-344-3605.
