Greetings, North Families!

Our first night of conferences last night was quite successful and we are looking forward to our second night of conferences on Thursday, January 28th. Similar to the conferences held in October, these conferences will also be virtual and will take place over the telephone. 

If you have yet to sign-up for conference phone calls, it is not to late! Sign-up for conferences with EACH teacher they would like to have a phone conference with. Please click HERE to schedule conferences. Additional information around conference nights can also be found below. The last reminder I want to give families around teleconferences is to remind you to answer your telephone on the evening of January 28th. Teachers will be making telephones calls remotely for these conferences so the number may show up as unknown, private, or as a phone number you may not recognize. If the call comes in between 4:30pm - 7:30pm either evening, there is a great chance it is one of your child’s teachers calling - please answer the call.

Lastly, in preparation for the transition back to Hybrid Learning, there will be no school for secondary students on January 28th and 29th. These days have been designated as preparation and planning days for secondary teachers in order to prepare for in-person Hybrid Learning beginning on Monday, February 1st.

We are getting very excited to welcome our students back to Hybrid Learning February 1st!


Respectfully,


Principal Brian Nutter 
Assistant Principal William Sininger

Message to all band members and families!

We are returning to Hybrid Learning starting February 1st which means that students will be able to attend band class in-person again! This means that students should remember to bring their instruments and music TO SCHOOL on in-person days and bring them HOME on distance days. Students will have instrument lockers to store their instruments while at school and are encouraged to drop them off in the morning during passing time.

See you all very soon!
