Naples Park Elementary

As we wrap up another wonderful school year, I want to thank our families for your continued partnership and trust. Together, we have created a nurturing environment where every child is known, supported, and inspired to learn.

If you are new to our community and exploring school options, we are proud to be part of Collier County Public Schools, an A-rated district committed to academic excellence and meeting the unique needs of each student. Enrollment is simple and convenient through our district’s online system. The first day of school is Tuesday, August 11, 2026. For School Year 2026-2027, our school day will begin at 7:45 a.m. with dismissal at 2:55 p.m.


For our returning families, we look forward to welcoming your child back soon. We are excited to begin another great year together. During the summer, we encourage you to read together and take advantage of the 2026 Summer CCPS Classics Reading List. Families are also encouraged to explore the CCPS Summer Learning activities, available now to help students prepare for the next school year.

As you begin preparing for the new school year, please review the School Supplies information available on our school website to ensure your child is ready for a strong start.

Our school is more than a place to learn. We are a caring community where students build friendships, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning. We are proud to be a school you can trust and a choice you can feel confident making for your child’s future.

Have an AMAZING Summer!
Ms. Jonas 😊🦈

A new fun challenge at NPE, scholar bowl competitions with some of our 3rd-5th graders. These kids were up for the challenge.

So thankful for Deputy Barraco and the positive impact he makes every day at Naples Park. Our students are lucky to have someone who supports, encourages, and cares for them so well! 💙🦈

🇺🇸 250 Stories of Service: Checkmates and Card Games 🇺🇸

Story of Service submitted by Naples Park Elementary School.

At Naples Park Elementary School, relationships are built in meaningful ways every day, and Deputy Barraco has become a special part of that connection. During recess, students eagerly look forward to playing cards and chess with him. What may seem like a simple game has become something much greater, an opportunity for conversation, trust, laughter, and mentorship.
Deputy Barraco takes the time to learn students’ names, celebrate their victories, and encourage them through challenges, whether on the chessboard or in everyday life. Through friendly competition and shared moments, students see law enforcement not only as protectors, but as caring members of the community who genuinely invest in children. Many students look forward to recess not just for play, but for the chance to spend time with Deputy Barraco during another game and conversation.
These daily interactions reflect the values that strengthen communities. By building positive relationships with students at a young age, Deputy Barraco is helping shape future citizens who value trust, kindness, and compassion. His efforts help remind us that strong communities are built one relationship at a time, sometimes over a deck of cards or a game of chess during recess.
