Northland Prep Parent Resources

The tools below are for parents to connect with the school, their child’s experience, and the community. They include Infinite Campus Tutorials, payments, carpooling, and more. A quick note about Infinite Campus

Infinite Campus is NPA’s School Information System. By using Infinite Campus as a parent, you can stay up to date with attendance, grades, assignments, and announcements! Please use the buttons below to log in to the Parent Portal and the Student Portal and explore the tools offered for parents and students. Please contact our registrar Lori McGaughey (lmcgaughey@northlandprep.org) if you have any trouble logging in.

We are thrilled to be offering your child access to school meals for the 2022-2023 school year through a newly formed partnership with Flagstaff USD. We wanted to share a few things you and your child can look forward to when it comes to mealtime and the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) being introduced at NPA this fall.

Community Enrichment Committee (CEC)- Parent Volunteer Group was formed to create an informed and supportive community of NPA parents, teachers, administrators, and students. The committee functions much like a PTO, but with increased coordination and communication with the Governing Board.

CEC Mission

“To Create a place for families to get involved at NPA, enhance the school’s learning & working environment, and heighten school spirit and enthusiasm.”

What does the CEC do?

With the help of parent volunteers, the CEC enhances the NPA experience. We support the NPA community in a variety of ways:

• Purchasing and repairing items to enhance the school campus
• Supporting faculty needs in the classroom and beyond
• Managing the NPA Spirit Wear Store
• Organizing and advertising Painless Fundraisers such as:
  • Fry’s Community Rewards Program
  • Box Tops $ Education
• Organizing events to support the Faculty such as:
  • Faculty Treats
  • Faculty Lunches
  • Faculty Appreciation Week

When do we meet?

We meet once a month on Tuesday evenings at 5:30. Most of these meetings are virtual (using Microsoft Teams), but we will have 3 in person meetings to foster community. Any NPA parent or guardian is welcome to attend. The more volunteers we have, the more good we can do. We love hearing new ideas! Please email Alicia Vaughan (afvaughan@gmail.com) for a link to the virtual meeting. The meeting schedule this year is:

You can orient yourself using this map.

• Please be patient in the line.
• Please PULL FORWARD within each pickup/dropoff zone so that more cars can load/unload at at the same time.  Stopping at the middle of the zone (closest to the school entry doors) so that your child doesn’t have to walk as far makes the entire process less efficient.
• Pay extra close attention for student pedestrians as they cross the lot between the buildings, and please be extra cautious navigating with younger drivers.
• Please follow the instructions of teachers and staff members as they do their duties in the lot as they are helping students cross the street, helping student drivers park and trying to keep the line moving as efficiently as possible.
• Please do not use cell phones while driving through the parking lot.
• Do not use the FUSD District Office parking lot for pick up or drop off.  Also, please do not use the Summit Park Condominium driveway or parking lot for pick up and drop off as it is private property.
• Never drop off or pick up your child on Sparrow Avenue or Soliere Avenue as they are very busy streets.

While NPA does not have traditional bus service, the Mountain Line public transit provides convenient city bus service and is an excellent alternative to the daily drop-off and pick-up line. Route 3 deviates onto Fourth St. on school days between 8-9 a.m. and 3-4 p.m., stopping right in front of NPA at the Sparrow intersection. Many families opt to have their student ride the bus to a more convenient central location for pick up or straight to their house or workplace. Mountain Line offers free travel training, which is a great resource for families to familiarize themselves with the transit system, safety, routes, and connections. In addition, safety is a top priority. Mountain Line has live cameras inside and outside every bus, recently added an onboard Safety Supervisor to the staff, and has supervisors available at the Downtown Connection Center to offer assistance.

A Mountain youth day pass is $1.25 (exact change only), or families can purchase a K-12 Semester ($49) or Annual ($119) pass.

To purchase a K-12 Semester or Annual Pass, visit https://mountainline.az.gov/product-category/student-passes/. For information on Travel Training, call 928.779.6624.

Because NPA wants as many Flagstaff students as possible to have access to transportation, any families needing financial assistance with bus passes should contact the school for assistance.
