Weekly Principal's Message

Dear NDUE Families,

We are excited to start another incredible year at NDUE! As our community continues to grow, we’re thrilled to welcome new families and staff members to our campus. Every individual, whether a student, staff member, or family supporter, plays a vital role in shaping the culture of our school.

At NDUE, we believe that it takes a whole community to create a nurturing and successful learning environment. From our dedicated custodians, nurses, cafeteria staff, paraprofessionals, and PTO volunteers, to our passionate teachers and supportive parents, each member of the Griffin Family contributes to the love, compassion, encouragement, challenge, and growth our students experience each day.

We are committed to teaching the whole child, recognizing and building upon each student’s unique gifts and talents, while also helping them grow through challenges. Our mission is to ensure that every student achieves their personal best in the classroom and thrives within our school community.

We look forward to partnering with you this year as we continue to teach our students what it means to LEAD like a Griffin!

MARK YOUR CALENDAR

NDUE is launching a new app called "Pikmykid" for transportation!

This app will be used for the car line as well as all transportation-related notifications. One of the coolest features is that it allows you to load your child's pick up schedule, making transportation changes and routines seamless!

Please visit the Parent Resources Page (link below) to learn more. This page provides important information to help you get set up and stay informed before the school year begins.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. We look forward to a smooth and safe start to the year!
