Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
| Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) | Responses |
|---|---|
| How much screen time is allocated to students each day? | Each student is given a Chromebook to utilize during the school day. Teachers will use the Chromebooks flexibly. For example, students may use the Chromebook to work on individualized math instruction or students may use the Chromebook to research content. We are mindful about the amount of screen time and encourage teachers to use the Chromebook in a creative way, not as a substitute for instruction. |
| What is the curriculum the elementary school uses? | Please click here for the current school years curriculum. |
| What if my student is advanced in certain areas academically? | NP3 elementary does not advance students. Teachers are expected to teach to the highest academic level and scaffold for students who need support. If a student is advanced, teachers will differentiate instruction to meet the needs of the student’s academic and emotional level. |

By developing the whole child; socially, emotionally, academically and ethically, we will foster a school climate that promotes greatness! |
