🏴☠️🏴☠️NCS Staff was hard at work on Monday March 9th during Professional Development.🏴☠️🏴☠️
"Anchored in Safety: Protecting our Pirate Crew" was the theme of the day.
The goal of the day: To understand that Napoleon is prepared and ready. We have the process, the tools, the assigned roles, and partnerships for emergencies. Staff learned systems, procedures, routines, and strategies to keep our District safe.
Stacey Voskuil from the National Association of School Resource Officers spoke about BTAM (Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management), school violence prevention, and the importance of positive school climate.
Officer Tom Freeman, NCS School Resource officer, presented on active shooter situations.
Staff also completed Stop the Bleed training from HFHS, Reunification Table Top Exercise, and simulated active shooter exercises.
Preparation is essential. At Napoleon Community Schools, we are committed to doing our best to be prepared for any and all situations.

Pirates are getting hands-on with the Fork Farms Flex Farm Program, a portable vertical hydroponic growing system that allows fresh food to be grown right inside the school.
Through this innovative technology, students are learning the science behind growing food, exploring STEM concepts, and understanding the importance of nutrition and sustainability.
Last week was Transplant Day! Young plants were moved into the Flex Farm where they’ll continue growing into fresh lettuce and herbs that can be enjoyed right here at school.
It’s exciting to see learning come to life while growing healthy food for our students. 🌿✨
Our amazing Ezra Eby Food Service staff are rolling out their next clever cafeteria theme…
🔎 #ISPYDR.SEUSSVIBES
Students will spot some fun, colorful, and creative touches inspired by the imaginative world of Dr. Seuss while they enjoy their meals. It’s another great way our staff helps make reading month exciting across the whole school!
Thank you to our food service team for always adding a little extra creativity and fun for our students. 💚
