May 29, 2026 - NPAS Staff District Newsletter

Dear Staff,

As we cross the finish line of the 2025–2026 school year, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for an incredibly productive and meaningful school year.

This year, we rallied around a central theme: Better Together. Looking back at everything we have navigated and achieved, I am profoundly proud of how you embraced this mantra. You lived it daily in your classrooms, offices, hallways, and across our entire community. It is because we worked as a united team that we continue to make significant strides in our vision to be a premier school district—one that models excellence and ensures we prepare all of our students for life’s opportunities.

Reflecting on the last nine months, we have celebrated so many significant achievements, but none quite as foundational as the success we shared this past fall. The passage of our Proud Tradition and Promising Future referendum campaign was a monumental victory for our district. This achievement provides us with much-needed financial stability for the next several years, ensuring we can protect our programs and keep our focus where it belongs: on the success of our students and the support of our staff.

We could not have achieved this stability, or the countless daily victories in our schools, without your dedication, hard work, and unwavering commitment to our students.

Now, a well-deserved break awaits you. I hope this summer vacation brings you ample time to rest, recharge, and enjoy the company of family and friends. Please make sure to take time for yourself as well to ensure a relaxing and rejuvenating summer.

Thank you for everything you do for our district. We truly are Better Together.

With deep appreciation, 

Andrew Vollmuth
