Week of February 25, 2018: Good afternoon Northeast Family and Friends. Here is our Northeast “Shout Out” for this week that ends February and begins the month of March. It is hard to believe that March arrives this week and so do our mid-quarter grades for the 3rd marking period. Please check on your child’s progress through our Student Access Center. Teachers should have uploaded all grades thus far for the third quarter by this Tuesday. If you need assistance looking at our child’s grades in the Student Access Center please call the main office at 610-868-8581 and ask for Mrs. Rodriquez. Please do not wait until the third quarter is complete, because once we enter into April and the PSSA testing season our school year seems like it is almost over. For those parents wishing to set up a conference to talk directly to teachers about their child’s grades please know that you may call your child’s team leader at any time to schedule a conference. Just be reminded that those conferences must occur during the day as that is when there is time in the teachers schedule for these types of meetings to occur.
This week we are P.R.O.U.D. to celebrate the accomplishments of our eighth grade seminar students and the “What’s So Cool about Manufacturing” piece they compiled highlighting the Atlas Machining and Welding Company. The awards ceremony celebrating their hard works is this Tuesday evening at the SteelStacks. Also on Tuesday we will be heading out to Bethlehem’s Skating Rink to celebrate our student members of our P.R.O.U.D. Society. It should be a fun morning of ice-skating.
This week we P.R.O.U.D.ly present our Spring Musical, “Getting to Know Once Upon a Mattress”. Performances are Thursday evening beginning at 7 p.m.and Saturday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. On Wednesday and Friday during the school day we will be hosting most of our elementary feeder’s 5th grade students to a performance of the show. Tickets are available to be purchased for our public performances at the door for this wonderful display of our children’s talent.
Also on Thursday a randomly selected group of 8th grade students will have the privilege of being tested by the National Assessment of Education Progress. The assessment for this select group of students will be in the area of computer science and technology. Finally this past week, our NEPTO parents kicked off a spring fundraiser from Cherrydale. The fundraiser end March 6th and all proceeds get directed back to our children. Have a wonderful remainder of your Sunday.
