When adults respond quickly and consistently to bullying behavior, they send the message that it is not acceptable. Unfortunately, Carrie Nottingham's "No Bullying Policy" is truly nothing but hype in the color orange. She is ridiculous in her operations to prevent stop it and the behavior just continues on.

The make copies of all the material that we pay for the children to have, no original tectbooks or workbooks are given out. The parents don't have the information they need to help their children with homework.

It's ineffective, unreliable and does nothing to protect our children.

This school has an amazing group of parents that want to be involved with their school.

The school promotes parent involvement as a key to the success of the students. Our district has cutting edge technology and because we are a smaller district it allows our teachers the time they need to make the most out of the time they spend with our children. We have an excellent band, choir and athletic program. There are opportunities for students to be involved in Student Council and Science Olympiad. The majority of our teachers have taught in the district for several years and I feel that speaks for itself. I feel we have an excellent school district and would highly recommend our district to anyone considering moving to our quaint, small town on the lake.

We are a very small district yet year after year we turn out some of the smartest kids and are still able to get the class sizes small so the kids get more 1 to 1 interaction...kids thrive with little or no extras as the budgets keep getting cut yet our kids still manage to beat the odds.

Our school is the best since it is a smaller learning environment (100 or less students per grade level), and they really get these kids ready for high school. My second child is graduating from NP in a month, and both of them are very well adjusted kids due to the school district, and North Prairie.
