Pirate Families,
As you know, Mr. Graham is retiring as of June 30, 2025; the Board of Education has been actively working to find a qualified successor to lead our district. Below is an update on our search.
Community Involvement: In February, a community survey was available for everyone to provide their thoughts and opinions. Thank you to everyone who participated. We value the input of our community members and staff in this important decision-making process. With the help of Jay Bennett, Assistant Director of Executive Search Services, Michigan Association of School Boards, the Board of Education uses this information to guide its selection process.
Next Steps: As the search progresses, the Board of Education will interview selected candidates who meet the established criteria in first-round interviews. See the CANDIDATE PRESS RELEASE 4/15/2025 for more information.
We greatly appreciate your continued support and involvement during this process. Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and we are dedicated to maintaining a transparent and collaborative selection process for our next Superintendent. Together, we will continue to provide an exceptional educational experience for our students.
Thank you for being an essential part of the Napoleon Community Schools community.

These donation cards will be displayed in our cafeteria hallway. Students may sell the attached donation card for $1 and return it to school by May 7, 2025. Additional cards are also available to sell; please contact abbie.denning@napoleonschools.org for more information.

Our Mini-Relay for Life will take place on Friday, May 9th at 2:30 p.m. at the track behind Eby. If you (or a member of your family) are a cancer survivor and would like to be honored in the first lap of the walk, please fill out the form on the back of this letter and return it to your child’s teacher no later than Monday, May 5th, so that a list of walkers can be formulated. We invite anyone who is interested to come and join us at the track. You will be inspired by our caring student body at Napoleon. Once again, thank you for helping those who need a cure!
Sincerely,
Ezra Eby Elementary Staff

Attendance Matters at Napoleon Community Schools!
Studies show that a student who regularly attends school has improved literacy skills, reduced stress, access to supports and resources, builds socialization skills, improves academic readiness, creates routine/structure, parents avoid truancy/criminal consequences, more likely to graduate, gain academic skills, and learn emotional skills they need to thrive.
Go Pirates!
March is Reading Month was a huge success at Eby! From dress up days and free books to school wide Bingo and a bike drawing, the students celebrated with spirit and enthusiasm! Way to go Eby students! Enjoy your Spring Break!!
