Summer Re-Creation

Dear Notre Dame Families,

We hope that your summers have been combined with vacations and recreations!  Here at NDA, we have been in the process of recreating since the days after graduation in May. 

Our goal for the summer is to install 3 new furnaces in the newly converted garage spaces, and to install all of the duct work and supports to accommodate the new systems.  Please view the video below for a glimpse into the great progress that has been made.

While the full project will proceed into the next academic year, we are on schedule to open school on time.  There will still be some accommodations we will have to make as the project continues.  You will be informed regarding changes to our opening of school procedures as the schedule becomes clearer.

As always, we thank our benefactors for the support that has made this possible, and we thank you, our families, for working with us through these transitional times.

May your summer continue to provide time together and memories to savor.

Blessings and best regards,

The NDA Administration and Staff

News & Information

Maryhill Entrance & Faculty/Staff Parking Lot Closure

Our HVAC project is proceeding very well. To help ensure it can stay on track, the faculty and staff parking lot and Maryhill Drive entrance is now closed. 

Parking is available in the student Mason Street parking lot. Visitors may walk along the sidewalk next to the Triton Center to the atrium entrance. If you need handicapped parking, please call 920-429-6100 when you arrive at school. 

We realize this is inconvenient; however, the construction crews need the flexibility to use our parking lots without worrying about traffic and people to ensure they can complete the project as scheduled.

Athletic Registration is Now Open

The 2023-24 athletic year is right around the corner. We are excited to welcome our incoming freshman athletes and to see the growth of our sophomores, juniors and seniors!  

Registration is now open.

Please remember to complete both steps of the process:

1. Register your son/daughter for the sports he/she is interested in at this link and pay your participation fees.
2. Access your Magnus Health account through PowerSchool and update your records. In this process you will need to indicate that your son/daughter is participating in a sport. This will then prompt you to complete the signing of the forms for athletics.

If you have any questions, please contact Anthony Schumann, Assistant Athletic Director at aschumann@notredameacademy.com or 920-429-6117.

Summer Reading Expectations

Summer is a wonderful time for students to explore their interests in reading beyond what's available on their phones and computers. Reading is an integral part of high school success, but too often students develop negative attitudes about reading when it becomes "required" or titles are "prescribed" from a list.  

NDA English teachers suggest letting students select what they want to read this summer. Our expectation is that all NDA students reading 20 minutes daily is an easy suggestion. We encourage NDA families to discuss individual summer reading expectations in their own households. Upon returning to school in the fall, students will be asked to write about and discuss any book they have read over the summer. 

If you have any questions or would like reading suggestions, please contact our NDA librarian, Katie Gelb at kgelb@notredameacademy.com or English Department Chair, Jean Thillman at jthillman@notredameacademy.com.

Dual Credit Course Fees

Any student signed up to take a College Credit or AP course in the 2023-24 school year will be asked to pay the course fee during book pick-up days (see scale of fees below).  If the course fee is not paid within the first two weeks of school, the student will be dropped from the course. 

If you are not able to pay the course fee in full, please contact the Dual Credit Coordinator, Mr. Matthew Schultz at mschultz@notredameacademy.com, as soon as possible. Any students taking IB courses will be billed at a later date.

Fee Scale:

St. Norbert College Credit English - $400

UWGB Calculus II - $400

UWGB Calculus I - $400

UWGB Pre-Calculus - $400

UWGB Biology - $300

AP Statistics - $97

Service Hours 2023-24

Summer is a great time to start (or continue) working on service hours. Sophomores should be working towards the 15 hours required in social justice and juniors should be working towards the 15 hours required in service. Don't forget to log them into x2Vol right away!
