 Mrs. Hoeppner's Kindergarten Class is having fun doing "sausage races"
Dear Notre Dame Families:
The teachers would like to thank you all for the fantastic Teacher Appreciation Week. What we appreciate the most is the opportunity to work with your child each week and help them reach their full potential. Thank you for your continued support of Notre Dame of De Pere.
Last week we finished up our spring MAP testing for all grades kindergarten through 8th grade. The results will be sent home with your child's 3rd trimester report grade. Overall we were pleased with the progress of a great majority of students.
The Middle School presentation of The Lion King is this Thursday at 6:30. The performance will begin with our Elementary and Middle School bands playing. If you can't attend at night, a dress rehearsal is being performed at the Middle School gym on Thursday at 1:00PM. Don't miss this wonderful performance.
We have finally received some warm spring days and that brings a different wardrobe. Please make sure that your child is following the Notre Dame dress code, which can be found on our website. Socks need to be visible and be white, red, or navy. Shorts need to be navy or tan in color. Sweatshirts can be worn for recess, but need to be removed in the school. Shirts need to be tucked in at all time. Thank you for your help with this matter.
Are you interested in getting more involved in Notre Dame of De Pere overall? This is the time of year we are looking for interested parents to serve on the Site Advisory Council of the school (this is the group that replaced the school board in 2010). The SAC meets on the last Tuesday of each month at 6:00 pm; and the meetings count towards your family volunteer hours. If you are interested in joining this enthusiastic and engaged group, please email or call Julie Van Straten at julie.vanstraten@uhc.com or 920/360-3098 for more information and details.Just a reminder to check out the lost and found items at both schools. Any items not claimed by Friday, May 17th will be donated.
Please turn in the Lamers Bus Form by May 17th.
JUMP WITH JOY,
The Notre Dame Staff

14 Sign-up Opportunities
|
Hello ND Families,
14 Sign Up Opportunities Still Available- Please Help!!!
First and foremost, a HUGE thank you for helping to volunteer for cafeteria and playground duty this school year. We have had great feedback from parents saying they really enjoy seeing their child(ren) in their element and the teachers are very appreciative to have some down time to prepare for their classes. This is just a friendly reminder that we are in the third trimester. If you have not already, please go to our Sign Up Genius at
and select your day and slot for volunteering for this semester. We are asking each family to volunteer for one slot per trimester or more if you wish. Keep in mind that your time spent volunteer for this program is worth double towards your required family volunteer hours. Again, thank you for your help in keeping our children safe and our teachers prepared!

Triple Threat Basketball

We wanted to share with you a business we are launching for this summer. Triple Threat Green Bay Basketball will provide a staff of former UW-Green Bay players and staff that are focused on helping your daughter or son develop in the game of basketball. Not only will we be looking to enhance their skill level, but also the athletes'overall understanding of the game of basketball.
Our staff is not just looking to make money this summer, but are more concerned with being invested in the athlete and can help them achieve their goals and dreams. Triple Threat Basketball Green Bay offers individual and group basketball workouts. These workouts will be tailored to the individuals and what they want to improve on and need to improve on. All of our Triple Threat Basketball athletes will be given a pre-evaluation and post-evaluation. We will have player profiles that will help us get to know the individual better and what their summer goals are.
