Families & Students

Parents and students need to work together for the betterment of their students. Parents play an important role in providing support and building the confidence of their children. Clear communication between the school and our families is of the upmost importance to us.

Tuesday Folders

Each Tuesday, students will bring home announcements and their class work from the previous week. Be sure to review papers and announcements with your child, sign that you reviewed the information, and return the folder the next day.

Parents will also receive a Tuesday Electronic Newsletter with school happenings, important dates and PTA information.  

Visitors

We welcome visitors to our school.  Our goal at NLA is to provide a safe and enjoyable learning environment for all school community members. In order for us to accomplish this goal, we ask that all visitors sign in with their driver's license in the office upon arriving. Be sure to check out prior to leaving.


Cell Phone Policy

The use of cell phones and/or personal communication devices by students shall be restricted as follows: 

For elementary school students (grades PK-5), the use of cell phones and/or personal electronic communication devices is prohibited during the school day and on school buses. If an elementary school student has a cell phone and/or personal electronic communication device that the parent/guardian believes is needed for before and/or after-school contact with family members, it must be turned off and left in the student’s book bag at all times, including on the school bus.
