(You may access COVID-19 Advisory Committee presentations here: June Advisory Meeting/Presentation <https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/17ILu7IeFM0V8-0qrAi1rPWIRYwhoTdOWE-LLpdttWLE/edit?usp=sharing> and July Advisory Meeting/Presentation <https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1PRCWlSMP2ZoOfsubjyDPUDmXeVBH_twFZxifSZKW5Vo/edit?usp=sharing> ) We are grateful to the 2,642 families who participated in the District Survey <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uUKlHCsInYlLKPPUJE8KCGyGqzsO1xfp/view?usp=sharing>administered in June, which is a 46% participation rate, and we will continue to incorporate their responses and suggestions into the planning process. Now we are asking *all* NPS families for specific information so we can understand how best to support your children and your families. We need you to please take a few minutes to complete this survey: July NPS Family Survey <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/July-Family> I expect to provide additional information about our school reopening plans in the next few weeks. Next Thursday, July 23rd at 5:00 p.m. School Committee Chair Andrea Longo-Carter and I will host a virtual Open House to share initial planning and ideas and respond to questions and comments.
