Dear Normandy Village Elementary Families,
We are excited to welcome you and your child to the 2026–2027 school year at Normandy Village Elementary! 💙💛
Join us for our School Orientation, where families of Pre-K through 5th grade students will have the opportunity to connect with teachers, explore classrooms, and get ready for a successful start to the year.
During orientation, you can:
Meet your child’s teacher and school staff
Visit classrooms and learn about daily routines
Receive important information about the upcoming school year
Ask questions and get prepared for the first day of school
This is a wonderful opportunity to build excitement and help your child feel confident and ready for a great year ahead!
Orientation Details:
📅 Date: Friday, August 7
⏰ Time: 9:00, 11:00, 1:30
📍 Location: Normandy Village Elementary School
We look forward to seeing all of our returning families and welcoming our new students to the Normandy Village community. It’s going to be an amazing year of Rising, Shining, and Soaring!
Parents and Guardians,
Please see the attached school calendar and uniform information for the upcoming school year. Orientation dates and times will be shared soon!
UPDATE:
Normandy Village families,
I want to provide an important clarification regarding our recent communication about school uniforms.
In my previous message, I shared that the uniform policy would be enforced. After reviewing the current school practice/policy AND hearing that parents liked having a choice, I want to clarify that uniforms at Normandy Village will remain optional at this time; however, they are still highly encouraged for all students.
The purpose of sharing the grade-level colors was to provide consistency for families who choose to participate in the uniform option. Uniforms help promote school pride, unity, and a focused learning environment, and we would love to see our students proudly represent Normandy Village in their grade-level colors.
I appreciate your understanding as we make sure all families receive clear and accurate information. Thank you for your continued partnership and support as we prepare for a positive start to the school year.
-Warmly
Principal Peterson
