Weekly Principal's Message

Dear NDUE Families,

Happy Fall Break, Griffins!

It’s time to press pause, grab a cozy blanket, and soak up all the fall vibes. Whether you're traveling, relaxing at home, or enjoying some pumpkin-flavored everything—we hope your break is everything you need and more!

We’ll see you October 13th, refreshed and ready to jump back in! #LEADLikeaGriffin

Have a GREAT week, Sharpening the Saw with your families!

Every MINUTE Matters!

Strong Student Attendance is vital to your child's academic success.

If your student is healthy, we want them here at school with us! Every minute matters, so do your best to prevent days absent, check-outs, and tardies.

We know sometimes absences are unavoidable, so don't forget to submit your doctor's excuses and parent notes. All excuses should be submitted within 3 days of an absence to be counted.

Take the time to Sharpen the Saw this week. Rest, recharge and connect with one another.

  • Rest: Put down the textbooks, step away from the screen, and just relax. Sleep in, read a book for fun, or simply enjoy some quiet time.

  • Reconnect: Spend time with family and friends. Make new memories, share laughs, and enjoy the company of those you care about.

  • Recharge: Get outside and enjoy the fall weather. Taking a walk, playing a sport, or just spending time in nature can do wonders for your mental and physical health.

  • Reflect: Consider what you've accomplished so far this semester. Celebrate your hard work and think about what you want to achieve when you return.

Coming Up Next... Red Ribbon Week
