NPMS Fall Activities Covid-19 Playbook Our goal is to provide a safe learning environment for all students that mitigates the risks during the COVID pandemic. North Platte Public Schools has developed a playbook that addresses the daily operations of our schools. With North Platte Middle SChool Activities, we have highlighted areas that are unique to North Platte Middle School Activities to assist parents in understanding the expectations and routines unique to North Platte Middle School Activities. Coaches/Sponsors and students will be taught expectations the first day and continue throughout the school year. For more in-depth plans in regards to COVID, access the District Return to School Plan.
