We are thrilled to inform you that our upcoming yearbook (Andean) photo day is approaching fast! On this day, students are not required to wear their formal uniforms. If they have a P.E. class that day, they are welcome to come to school dressed in the CNG sweatpants and hoodie. Your child´s homeroom teacher will let you know the date, but keep in mind pictures will be happening during September 12, 13, and 14.

House Sweatshirts/T-Shirts

We would like to let you know that, for the time being, students are not allowed to wear house sweatshirts and/or t-shirts on Fridays. We will let you know once this is allowed. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

Pokemon Cards

Starting Friday, Sept. 8th, PS students will be allowed to bring Pokemon cards to school. Please have your children follow these guidelines: They can only bring them on Fridays and may play with them during recess times, not on the bus, during class times, specialists, or lunch in the cafeteria. Teachers or administrators have full authority to suspend trading if problems arise. Please also be aware that the school is not responsible for lost or misplaced cards.

We would like to kick off the Proyecto Vida program this year with a parent session in the Cafetorium on September 13 from 7:15-8:15. We will be sharing detailed information about this valuable, parent-led character education program. We hope you can all join us!

Proyecto Vida/Parenting for Life is an interactive program that involves parents/guardians in Character for Life, CNG´s cross disciplinary and comprehensive approach, to purposefully shape our students’ character in alignment with our Core Values. The lessons are carried out with the participation of parent volunteers from each classroom through small skits and activities.

Outside of School Hours Pick up at Gate:

For the safety and convenience of all, we ask parents to pick up their children outside of school hours at the main gate. Students will stay in their classrooms until you’ve arrived.

When picking up your child:

• Please be punctual and arrive at the specified time.

• Let the guards know you’ve arrived and they’ll inform the PS office.

• Stay in your vehicle while your child walks out. Keep in mind this might take a few minutes, so plan accordingly

• While on campus, we kindly request that you wait at the PS office instead of proceeding directly to your child's classroom. This helps minimize disruptions to the instructional time. Thank you for your understanding.
