News & Information

Parking Permits and Priory Parking Lot

As our HVAC construction project enters its final stages, we are anticipating that there may be some final detail work completed while school starts. Therefore, the Priory parking lot (on the north side of the property) will be closed to students to start the school year. We will conduct our additional parking permit lotteries when we can confidently move any additional construction parking to our faculty and staff lot.

When it reopens, the Priory parking lot will return to being a permit-only lot. We appreciate your patience as we conclude this very important project and prepare for the return to school.

Summer School Report Cards in PowerSchool

Summer school classes ended in mid-July and report cards are available in PowerSchool.

Book Pick Up Volunteers Needed

We are in need of parent volunteers to assist with Book Pick Up days (August 15 and 16). Shifts are 8 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. or 12:30 p.m. to 3 with lunch provided from 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

If you are available to help for a shift or two, please contact Joey Rickards at jrickards@notredameacademy.com.

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 - $420

UWGB Calculus I - $420

UWGB Pre-Calculus - $420

UWGB Biology - $315

AP Statistics - $97

Service Hours 2023-24
