Happy Tuesday Panthers! I hope everyone had a great weekend, and a wonderful three day weekend!

Thank you to everyone for attending Back To School Night. Our teachers did a great job of making this important night informative and engaging for all!

Please reinforce with your children that this is the time for all families to get that academic routine up and running if you have not done so already. Consistency, organization, and effort are crucial for students to be successful on a daily basis. Please continue to encourage your students to set an engagement goal each day with their peers and teachers online. Encourage your students to have the camera on as much as possible, and participate each and every day! Connections and relationships are so important! Please continue to reach out to your child's teachers and the NPHS staff when you need our help!

Please review our website and newsletters regularly, reach out to us if you have any questions, and please make sure to follow us on social media. Let's have another great week Panthers!

WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER!

Mr. Lepire

If you ordered Core Literature Novels for your child, you can pick them up today and tomorrow from 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm at the curb of the M gate to the left of the main office.

Thank you to Barnes and Noble for your support in this great fundraiser!

Please pull up to the curb, remain in your car, and someone will assist you. If you want to purchase books for your child if they have English next term, you can still order them by filling out the following form: https://forms.gle/5nHJ89MH7bwPn5kr8

Here is the pickup schedule for the next two days:

9th and 10th-grade families: Tuesday, September 8, 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm

11th and 12th-grade families, Wednesday, September 9, 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm

Why Go Out of State? We'll tell you! You'll learn about the wonderful benefits of leaving California for college and then in a fun “speed dating” like the event, each admissions counselor will share information about their college for a few minutes and include some of the highlights that attract Californians to study at their institution. Be ready to take some quick notes as students and families will learn about college opportunities from across the United States.

On Wednesdays, both Cohort A and Cohort B students will engage in learning together during the AM scheduled class periods. No classes will meet in the afternoon because teachers will be having collaboration time. This means that Cohort B meets in the morning on Wednesdays.

• Students' first class on Wednesday meets- 8:00 am to 9:15 am
• Students' second class meets- 9:25 am to 10:40 am.

Due to the fact that the periods rotate in sequential order, the Class Periods that fall on Wednesday will vary from week to week, so please see the schedule above.

Voting for School Site Council elections ends at 4:00 pm on 9/8. Here is the link to vote: https://www.smore.com/r58fw-nphs-school-site-council-elections

Dear Parents/Guardians,

If your child plans to participate in Co-Curricular Sports and/or Activities (Spirit Cheer or Dance Team) this school year, please read this letter. If this does not apply to your family, please disregard this message.

As of today, August 28, the Conejo Valley Unified School District is allowing Co-Curricular Sports and Activities to resume limited conditioning practices on-campus beginning Tuesday, Sept. 1. The decision whether or not to hold conditioning workouts, as well as the schedule, will be determined by the head coach of each sport and they will notify all players who are in the program. Please refer to the Coaches Directory at https://nphsathletics.org/coach-contact-info/. Please know, these workouts are not mandatory, and will not determine if your child will be able to participate in the sport once we get closer to the season. Programs will be under strict guidelines set by state and county health protocols. There will be more information communicated by individual programs soon. Coaches and teachers will be reaching out to families directly with plans for the Phase 1 return to in-person conditioning practices.

A wellness check will be performed for all staff and players before each session. The high schools have been given specific direction regarding check in and/or practice procedures for all groups meeting in person for Phase 1:
• Pods may consist of 10 students and up to 2 cleared coaches (no parent volunteers)
• Pods must remain together including coaches (Students will be assigned to pods (cohorts or groups) of ten (10) students with either one (1) or two (2) staff members; the same group of students and staff member(s) will work together throughout Phase 1 to limit overall exposure - no student or staff may crossover from one pod to any other throughout phase 1.)
• Conditioning only (no equipment)
• Must be outdoors
• Masks are to be worn at all times (walking on campus, during health screening, walking off campus) except during workouts
• Students must remain socially distant at all times during the practice

The following must be completed before attending first practice:

1. Student-athletes must be cleared via athleticclearance.com before being allowed to practice. Please go to https://nphsathletics.org/athletic-clearance/ for information and directions how to complete the clearance correctly on the first attempt. Please don’t wait to complete on the first day of practice. All clearances must be checked by the NPHS Athletic Department, and staff might not be able to check clearances on that day.

2. Completed 2020 Conditioning Parent Consent Form (attached) – Please print at home and have your child bring with them to practice. *This includes parents/guardians who signed the form for summer practices.

3. Completed Sport Informed Consent Form (attached)- Please print at home and have your child bring with them to practice. *This includes athletes who signed the form for summer practices.

COVID-19 Prevention Plan protocols will be enforced up to shutting down a program for repeat or serious non-compliance. I cannot stress how important it is for all of us to follow the guidelines to allow our student-athletes to continue to participate in sports. It would be extremely unfortunate for any one person to willfully disobey these guidelines and jeopardize what we have worked so hard to return to.

Please go to https://nphsathletics.org/ for information for NP Athletics. Follow us on twitter @nphsathletic.
