Dear NPCS Parents,

This month, your child started using the Orah Nurture web-based application. Mood Checks™️ is a science-backed mood tracker that helps students build emotional intelligence and reflect on what influences impact them the most. The objective of this program is to support students with their Social/Emotional health and awareness while having a relatable platform. It helps students improve visibility into emotional well-being and begin measuring progress over time.  

Orah Nurture also helps the St. Patrick’s principal and counselor to act on the data captured promptly.  They will get a bird’s eye view of how students are tracking so they can be more responsive to the emotional needs of students.  Students will also be able to communicate with their principal and counselor easily and reliably through this program.  Each day students, in a minute or less, can use a technology device to complete a mood check that helps them identify their energy level, happiness, emotions, and triggers that affect these.

Students can also send a private note directly to Ms. Kramer, the school counselor, and Deacon Irish, the school principal.  If a student sends a message Ms. Kramer will reply back to them.

If you have questions about the program or would like to discuss the emotional health and wellness of your child please contact Ms. Kramer or Deacon Irish.

Sincerely,

Moriah Kramer, School Counselor

Deacon Matthew Irish, Principal

It is our school policy that ALL student athletes travel with their team to all events.

If you are planning to have your student travel home with you from any event (sports, cheer and dance), it is required to present the Travel Waiver prior to the event!
