Today we loaded the last car at 3:34. We are so close to our goal of wrapping up car line by 3:30! Thank you for your unwavering support as we work through these new processes. We are #BetterTogether! Don’t forget... concessions begin tomorrow! 🎉

NDUE FAMILIES: Help us speed up our car line! We have a goal of all students being loaded by 3:30!
1.) Check in on Pikmykid when you get to NDMS or SHARE your location on the app to check in automatically.
2.) Use your flashers to tell us your student(s) are loaded (pm only) and unloaded (am only), and you're ready to roll.
THANKS for your HELP. We are BETTER TOGETHER! Geaux Griffins.

Families, you can share your child’s accomplishments with us using the form below, and they may be featured in an upcoming spotlight.

CAR PICK UP: Please ensure you have a car tag visible for each student you are picking up, even if you've announced. Students are held in their classrooms so if you only post the tag for one student, their sibling will not be notified!

Who says rules and expectations have to be boring?! Our second graders are up, moving, and learning with the Puzz game on our Lu Interactive Playground—working together to piece classroom expectations into place! Meanwhile, others are practicing their manners and social skills with a lively game of “Excuse Me” Tag. We’re building a strong classroom community from day one—through fun, connection, and play! #LEADlikeaGriffin
