Signing up for conference times will be handled through PowerSchool. Here is some important information you will need to know before you get started.

  • Before you get started, you will need your PowerSchool username and password for YOUR (not your child) access account.

  • Middle School Parents - if you have more than one middle school student please utilize your 10 minutes for both or all your middle school students. If you need more time you can always schedule time with any given teacher for another day. This is so everyone who needs a conference can get one.

  • Once you have your PowerSchool login information ready, use the instructions below to sign up for conferences.

  • If you choose a virtual conference on Oct. 28th, then you will be receiving an email, early the week of the conferences, with a googlemeet link for each specific teacher. You will utilize that link during your scheduled time. The teacher will allow you access into the meeting when your conference begins. This will allow a private conversation between you and the teacher for your scheduled time.

Fall Fest Oct. 22
Hi Parents!
We are still looking for Parent volunteers, as well as some student volunteers for Fall Fest on Friday October 22nd from 5-7

We thank your for help and are excited for the first Fall Fest in our new school!
Counselor's Corner - Mrs. Kielpikowski
Counselor’s Corner- Mrs. Kielpikowski
Happy Fall! Hope you are enjoying the beautiful changing of the seasons. Surely, God’s handiwork! I just wanted to reach out about a potential opportunity for your son/daughter. Small group counseling is something I offer to students. It would be a group of similar aged students who would meet with me to talk about a specific topic. It could be friendship, family, self-control, anger, stress, study skills or other topics as appropriate. It is a chance for students to be with others with similar concerns. They can learn and grow from each other as well as from me. No one besides their teacher and myself would know they are in the group. The group members follow confidentiality guidelines as well, so they do not share what it said in the group setting. Please contact me if you have any questions at [email protected].

Drop off/Pick up reminder
For everyone's safety...Vehicles must pull as far forward as possible into the cut-out before students can exit the vehicle. Students must exit the vehicle while the driver remains in the vehicle. If a student requires adult assistance to exit the vehicle, please park on a nearby street.

October 2021 Our Lady of Good Help feast
Living the Liturgical Year as a Family

October is dedicated to the Most Holy Rosary, due to the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. October is also the month when the Virgin Mary appeared to a Belgian immigrant, Adele Brise, in 1859. This took place on the grounds of Champion, WI., when the town was known as Robinsonville. Not too far from our beloved NDDP. 

On August 15, 2016, The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops declared Champion a National Shrine, by formal decree, distinguishing ‘The National Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help’ as the first and only Catholic Shrine in America with a Church-approved Marian Apparition Site. Our Lady of Good Help’s feast day is celebrated on October 9th.
