Smart, Safe Schools
NNPS is committed to preparing students to enter and competitively engage in a 21st century world that is increasingly technologically advanced and globally connected. To equip students to meet this challenge, the school division will focus its work on creating Smart, Safe Schools. Smart, Safe Schools provide strong foundations in math, literacy, history, and science in safe and nurturing environments.
NNPS is enhancing academic performance, raising achievement levels, increasing enrollment in rigorous course work, boosting the percentage of students taking the SAT’s, moving students into higher-level math, expanding preschool access, and narrowing achievement gaps. At the same time, the school division is working to create safe environments for students by defining clear expectations for behavior in the Rights and Responsibilities Handbook, investing in security staff and electronic equipment, and supporting programs that build positive relationships.
