North Platte High School Student Council will host a Trunk-or-Treat event on Halloween, October 31, from noon to 3 p.m. in the NPHS parking lot.

This new event will bring together students, school organizations, and community members for an afternoon of Halloween fun. School athletic teams and school sponsored activity groups will decorate their vehicles, dress in costumes, and hand out candy to children from North Platte and surrounding communities.

Entrance will be a free will donation, and attendees will also have the opportunity to vote for their favorite decorated trunk. The winning group will receive the collected donations as a prize, and their name and winning year will be displayed on a plaque near NPHS trophy cases. The winner will be announced during high school announcements the following Monday.

NPHS Student Council hopes to make Trunk-or-Treat an annual tradition that strengthens connections between students, the school, and the community.

Here is some useful information to know when looking at state score results.

Blue and gold interlocking NP with text that reads: Did You Know? NPPS Edition, Increasing Data Literacy! Stay connected at nppsd.org or follow @nppsd on all our social media accounts. What 60th percentile really means. 60 th percentile is not a 60%. The state sets proficiency goals to national average, meaning out of 100 students across the nation, Nebraska expects its students to be ranked #60 or above. Not every state has these lofty goals. To maintain their current percentile, students must increase scores from fall to spring. Keep this in mind with results: State assessments are a 1 day snapshot. We look both at achievement and growth. Schools are ranked by the average of all scores, including students who may have not taken the test (those scores are factored as 0's). This means a wide variety of scores appear throughout all schools, with the goal of the average of everyone being at or above th the 60 percentile. ELA & math are the main elements on which schools are scored (science is assessed at grades 5, 8, & 11). Supports: Students in the 1-59 th percentile are “developing, ” and we meet all students where they are. Each student has a personal goal, because we know learning isn’t “one score fits all. ” All K-3 students who aren’t reading at grade level receive interventions as part of the Nebraska Reading Improvement Act. Math students learn multiple ways to solve problems so they can use strategies that work best for them, both on tests and in the future. Annual proficiency levels: While we work to meet our goals, we celebrate the growth we have had along the way. We have grown 11.89% in annual proficiency levels across the district from 2021-2025! State ACT: Nebraska juniors take the ACT for state accountability. It gives every junior the opportunity to see that it is possible for them to go to college. state scores for all districts can be found at https://designegov.nebraska.gov/education/school-info/
