The Plan The Promise 2024-2025

The Family and Community Engagement Plan and all other Title I information can be found on our school's website at www.gcpsk12.org/NMAPA under the Title I Section. Families can also find paper copies of our Family and Community Engagement Plan in our Parent Center. The Plan is also available in the registrar's office and will be available for review on the PTA website.

It is reviewed and revised at least annually during the Planning Meeting in the spring. All feedback forms from the Planning Meeting are submitted to the Office of Federal Programs for review.  Families who are not able to attend the Planning Meeting can review draft documents and provide input during the draft document review period.

At North Metro Academy of Performing Arts, we are committed to frequent two-way communication with our families in a family-friendly format through Friday Folders, School and Class Newsletters, Parent/Teacher Conferences and Agenda Books, and our school website: www.gcpsk12.org/NMAPA.

Parents may request a meeting at a mutually agreed upon time to discuss their child's progress by calling the school office at 770-414-2400 leave a message for the teacher or you may email the teacher. Their email can be found on our school website under staff directory. Our school hours are 7:45 am – 3:30 pm.
