Middle Level Back to School Resources

List of 33 items.

• Absence Due to Illness Policy

  To help ensure the health and well-being of all students, faculty, and staff, Notre Dame Prep follows a clearly defined Absence Due to Illness Policy, developed in collaboration with our Health Suite. This policy, as outlined in the 2025–2026 Student Handbook, provides important guidance for when a student is sick, including when to stay home, how to report an illness, and when a medical note is required. By following these protocols, we aim to reduce the spread of illness on campus and support students in their recovery.
  
  If a student is sick:
  
  

  • The student should stay home until they are fever/vomit/diarrhea free for 24 hours without the use of medications to control these symptoms.
    
    
  • Parents/guardians should consult their medical provider or urgent care for medical advice and testing recommendations.
    
    
  • Parents/guardians should report any confirmed illnesses to the Health Suite.
    
    
  • Parents/guardians should email all absences to MLattendance@notredameprep.com.
    
    
  • Per the Student Handbook, a medical provider’s note is required for any absence of FIVE or more consecutive school days.

• Athletics Information (Fall 2025 Season)

  Tryouts for the 2025–2026 Middle Level Fall Sports season will begin on September 2, 2025, after the start of the school year. Additional information about tryouts and the Middle Level Fall Sports season will be available here at a later date.

• Attendance Policies & Procedures

  Every absence, late arrival, and early dismissal requires an email from a parent or guardian to MLattendance@notredameprep.com before 7:55 a.m. on the morning the student is absent. Please include the reason for her absence. For early dismissal, please include the dismissal time and if the student will be returning after the appointment. When a student arrives late or attends a doctor's appointment throughout the school day, they must return with a doctor's note. If an email has not been received within three days after her return, the student will be issued a warning.
  
  More information regarding our attendance policies and late arrival/early dismissal procedures can be found in the 2025–2026 Student Handbook, which will be available at a later date.

• Back to School Night for Families

  Middle Level Back to School Night will take place on Thursday, September 18, 2025, from 6:00–8:30 p.m. More details about this night will be communicated to families closer to the start of the school year.

During this camp, students will complete essential first-time setup tasks, such as connecting to the school Wi-Fi, signing into Microsoft, and gaining access to their student email—an important step for e-textbook purchases. They will also log into PrepNet, the school’s Learning Management System (LMS), which hosts their homework, classwork, and other important resources. Please prepare your student for Laptop Camp by properly setting up your student's device.

   

  Students should bring the following to camp:

  The NDP Parents' Association is a vibrant and integral part of our school community. Our mission is to foster a sense of unity and camaraderie among NDP families, while preserving and enhancing the rich traditions that define our school.
  
  Through a variety of programs and initiatives held throughout the school year, we not only raise essential funds, but also provide ample opportunities for parents to engage and contribute to our school's thriving culture to ensure the best possible experiences for our daughters while they attend NDP.
  
  We also coordinate and support significant school events such as Back-to-School Nights, Welcome Coffees, Gateway Ceremony, and Open House, to name a few. Moreover, we are committed to cultivating an inclusive environment by hosting a range of social events throughout the year, fostering fellowship among parents, and encouraging active participation in the Parents' Association. We invite you to join us in our mission to make NDP a welcoming and enriching place for every family.

• Uniform Policy & Purchase Information

  Uniform Policy: Each student’s care for her personal appearance while in uniform is a reflection of her own self-esteem, as well as her pride in her school. Therefore, it is expected that all students will make every effort to conform to the school's uniform policy, which can be found in the Student Handbook and is listed below. All parts of the uniform, including sweaters, socks, tights, and leggings, are expected to be neat and clean without any holes, rips, tears, or fraying.
  
  Purchasing the NDP Uniform: Families are to purchase uniforms through FlynnO’Hara Uniforms. Uniform measurements and orders can be taken at the Parkville store (8868 Waltham Woods Road) at any time. Families are encouraged to place all uniform orders by July 1, 2025, to ensure delivery before the start of the school year.

   

  Additional Uniform Items: Uniform gym shorts can only be purchased at the Trading Post. Uniform gym shorts are to be worn under the tunic for PE class. The Trading Post also sells the NDP quarter-zip, which is approved to wear during the school day. All other pieces of the uniform must be purchased at FlynnO’Hara Uniforms.

  
  As stated in the Student Handbook, the NDP uniform consists of the following:
  
  

  1. A navy dress from FlynnO’Hara Uniforms worn no more than two inches above the knee with attached belt, white collar, and white cuffs. The dress must be completely zipped at all times with the belt tied.
