Week of November 19, 2017: Good afternoon Northeast Family and Friends. Here is our Northeast “Shout Out” for this week of Thanksgiving. It is a very short week but a very busy week starting with our Academic Progress Monitoring Breakfast (aka Honor Roll Breakfast) for 6th grade students beginning our week tomorrow morning at 7:30 a.m. It is always a pleasure to begin our week recognizing students that put forth of them to successfully achieve Honor Roll. The 7th and 8th grade breakfast will be held on Tuesday also at 7:30 a.m. Our Book Fair is open to parents on both days immediately following the grade level breakfasts. Monday and Tuesday are half days for students, and dismissal is at 11:30 a.m. both days so that teachers can prepare for our Student Led Conferences. Monday’s conferences are scheduled from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Tuesday’s conferences are from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. We hope to see everyone sometime during the two days. If you have not yet scheduled to be at school with your child for their Student Led Conference, please reach out with an email or a phone call to your child’s academic team leader or guidance counselor. We all need to work together to maximize our children’s learning and give them the best opportunity to achieve great success!!
This week we also start practices for the beginning of our winter sports season. We had over 100 children try out for our boys and girls basketball teams, which is quite impressive. If your child was one of the children let go by our coaches please remind them that Michael Jordan was cut from his Junior High School team when he was their age.
On a final note, schools will be closed Wednesday, November 22nd until we reopen for school on Tuesday, November 28th. May everyone have a most pleasant Thanksgiving Break and enjoy the meaning of Thanksgiving: family and friends!
