Attention Parents! New Attendance Reporting Procedure

We have a new attendance reporting procedure for when your child is absent due to illness, appointments or tardiness. Click here to view instructions.

Please remember to use your Parent PowerSchool (PS) Account.

Sorry, this does not work in the PS app so you will have to use the website. It's very simple and will streamline attendance reporting for you and for the attendance office. You can also find the instructions on the NDA website under the Parents tab.

Dual Credit Course Fees

Any student signed up to take a College Credit or AP course in the 2023-24 school year should have paid the course fee during book pick-up days (see scale of fees below). If the course fee has not been 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.

The “Shirt” for the 2023-24 School Year

Did you miss out on your opportunity to pick up our student designed shirt for 2023-24? Well, have no fear, they will be available at the atrium desk/bookstore for purchase. The "shirt" has been a tradition at NDA since 2004 and can be worn on spirit days at school. The short sleeve is $10 and the long sleeve is $15.

Contact Jen Laaksonen at jlaaksonen@notredameacademy.com with any questions.

Athletics

Yard Sign to Support ND Athletics

Let’s paint the town BLUE and GREEN by ordering a yard sign to support an ND Athletic team. Because of all the hard work of NDA3, ND's Athletic Booster Club, for only $20 you can get a sign to place in your yard.

We have partnered with The Pro Shop De Pere (611 George Street) as a pick up location; signs are normally ready to be picked up within two weeks.
