Student Expectations

At NWPA we expect for our students to Strive for Excellence in everthing that they do.  We expect nothing less than 100% from our students and our parents.  At NWPA, it is the student's responsibility to:


  • Attend school daily and arrive on time.
  • Bring all necessary books and supplies to class.
  • Return completed homework.
  • Take responsibility for my own actions.
  • Respect myself and others.
  • Follow school and classroom rules and directions.
  • Accept the belief that learning is a life-long process that takes place at school and home.

We also expect equally as much from our parents.  It takes a village to raise a child, but we all understand that instilling the importance of education is something that begins at home.  So from our parents, we expect them to:


  • Ensure daily attendance and prompt arrival at school.
  • Establish a routine for school days, such as checking completed homework and setting a regular bedtime.
  • Encourage and model reading, writing, math, social studies, and science through everyday activities.
  • Avidly listen and participate in conversations pertaining to or with our child.
  • Monitor the quality and amount of multi-media (i.e., TV, internet, electronic games) viewed.
  • Expect appropriate behavior form our child and provide discipline in a supportive environment.
  • Be actively involved in school and community functions, such as PTA meetings, parent-teacher conferences, and parent workshops.
  • Be responsive to teachers’ requests and discuss concerns regarding our child in a responsible manner.
  • Communicate positive information regarding teachers, principals and other campus personnel when discussing school with our child.
  • Attend school/community sessions that will enable us to help our child at home.
  • Model the belief that learning is a life-long process that takes place at school and home.
  • Provide accurate emergency contact information (i.e., telephone number, address, e-mail.)
