Hello!

I am excited to announce a new program offering for THE PARENTS of Northpoint Expeditionary Learning Academy. The Community Conversations will be held monthly in order to increase communication and dialogue between parents, teachers, administration and others. Each session will have a specific set of topics and will be focused on those targets. Parents can attend any/all of the sessions as they feel would be helpful to their experience with Northpoint Expeditionary Learning Academy. 

The schedule for the exciting, new Community Conversations is shown below. These sessions will be held on Thursday nights at 5:30 PM at NELA. We will gather once a month to share information and hold conversations. Please email the director or your child’s crew leader if you have any questions.
