It was announced during Wednesday Nicollet School board that current Principal Robin Courrier and current Superintendent Stephen Malone would be interviewing the principal candidates on October 23 and another one on October 25.

NPS has been advertising the principal position for weeks. Current Principal Robin Courrier will be taking over the Superintendent position after Malone’s contract expires Dec. 31.

The cafe allows kids to work independently, work in small groups or seek additional help from adults. Courrier said students can be assigned to the Homework Cafe in cooperation with their parents if they are falling behind on homework and grades.
  • Field trips scheduled are History Fest for the 3rd and 4th graders on October 12; Operating Engineers Pathway, students’ choice, on October 14; and the Animal Science Class to FFA at St. Paul on October 24.
  • MEA weekend is October 19-20 and the fall conferences for PreK-12 will be November 16-17.
