Students come to the nurse MANY times a day for minor complaints that vary from earache, toothache, sore throat, headache, etc. If you would please fill out the attached sheet and return to school with the medication that would help them function better at school. It would also greatly reduce the need to call you to bring them medication to school or pick them up. Thank you!

Hey Normal Park! In the 7th and 8th grade Leadership class, we are hosting a canned food drive for the Chattanooga Area Food Bank! This is going to help families all over in Chattanooga, Tennessee who can’t afford a good meal for Thanksgiving.
The Drive will happen November 7th through the 21st at Normal Park Upper School. This is a grade level competition so YOU can help win the challenge.There will be boxes in every hallway for students to bring cans for donation! The grade level who brings in the most cans will earn extra recess and with popsicles! There will be a graph in the hallway to track and see each grade’s progress!
The Leadership class will be taking a field trip to see how the Food Bank operates and also volunteer while we are there. Channel 3 news will be filming us during the process so we will get to be on the news! Please help us make this a memorable event by donating as many canned food items as possible.
You got this NP! Go Lightning!
Sincerely,
Mary McKenna Holland and Blake Moon
7th Grade
Lightning Leadership Class
Lower School Dismissal Changes: We are making a few changes to the dismissal of our walkers. This ensures all students’ safety and runs as efficiently as possible for our families.
- Please complete the Google form once you are on campus.
- Students will only be dismissed to an adult on the student’s pick-up list.
- Parents/Guardians must come to the front steps to pick up their student.
- Students can only be picked up by an adult, not a sibling from the Upper School unless otherwise communicated with the administration
- An adult must supervise students playing on the front lawn. Students should not play in the flower beds or climb trees or statues.
