Sunday Shout-Out – Week of April 9, 2017: Good afternoon Northeast Family and Friends. Here is our Northeast “Shout Out” for the short week preceding our Spring break. First let me remind everyone that you should have received your child’s report card this past Friday and as always you can view the daily progress at any time using our parent portal. This past week has been a grueling week, but we are finished with the first half of our state testing and have until the week of the 24th to rest up before we tackle the math portion. Fortunately the math PSSA tests last only three days versus the 4 days of the Reading/ELA that we just finished. We thank all of our students and our families for taking these tests seriously and for doing their best so that our students’ best is highlighted.
For this short week we have many activities packed into our three school days. We start off our week recognizing the accomplishments of our 3rd quarter honor roll recipients with our recognition ceremonies Monday and Tuesday morning. Monday is for our 6th graders and Tuesday is for our 7th and 8th grade students. On Monday afternoon we will have a performance for our students featuring the 20 finalists of our Northeast Got Talent program. Look for flyers announcing the 10 finalists and their evening performance competition that will be held Tuesday April 18th. On Tuesday we begin hosting our incoming 6th grade students from our elementary feeder schools. Tuesday we will welcome Lincoln’s incoming 6th graders, and Wednesday we will enjoy showing our Marvine students our school. The orientation consists of time in our academic and encore classes plus lunch in our lunchroom. Last year was a great success with this type of student orientation.
Finally in sports our girl’s softball team is scheduled to play twice and our soccer team once. Soccer is at Nitschmann on Monday. Our girl’s softball team plays at home against Nitschmann on Monday, and they play at Eyer on Wednesday. Wednesday will be a busy day for our girls, as we will also be holding our Spring Pep Rally prior to their departure to their game. We hope everyone has a pleasant remainder to your Sunday and a most pleasant Spring Break.
