NBPS_YAAG 2020-2021

WELCOME BACK

We are glad to be back together again as a community despite the fact that we are starting off the school year like never before. I am pleased to share the Year At A Glance (YAAG) to serve as your “Start Here” guide for key calendar events, deadlines, and contact information that you will need to make this a successful school year (If you want more specific information about a particular subject please go to www.nbps.org). We normally look to the start of a new school year with great anticipation. But I acknowledge that for many of us that ex- citement and anticipation is tempered with a bit of anxious- ness as we continue to face the uncertainty that looms as a result of the global pandemic. Uncertainty can be uncomfortable. Uncertainty can leave us paralyzed with indecision. And, uncertainty can leave us afraid and unsure. But that is not who we are. The North Broward Preparatory School community is committed to thriving through adversi- ty. We have faced challenges before and I have been amazed at the innovative solutions that our students, faculty and families have developed. Our teaching philosophy to nurture creative problem solvers has been tested in ways that we never imagined and I know that we will see even more inno- vation in both our live and virtual classroom environments in the coming school year. I may not know what the future holds, but what I am sure of is the resilience of our incredible community. That resilience gives me hope that we will meet this challenge and come out even stronger than before.

CHARACTER CANNOT BE DEVELOPED IN EASE AND QUIET. ONLY THROUGH EXPERIENCE OF TRIAL AND SUFFERING CAN THE SOUL BE STRENGTHENED, AMBITION INSPIRED AND SUCCESS ACHIEVED. – HELLEN KELLER

We are NBP!

Sincerely,
