Good afternoon Northeast Family and Friends. Here is our Northeast “Shout Out” for the week of January 6th. With the frigid weather we have had and that we can expect to have for the next month or two, please help us remind students to dress appropriately and in layers as some of the areas of our beautiful school do not heat consistently. We know that learning happens best when we are comfortable and secure. Our facilities department is looking into our HVAC issues and they are working hard to make Northeast warm and cozy during these winter months.
On to school news: Believe it or not, but we are only two and a half weeks away from the start of the second semester! With that information please know that we have started meeting with Liberty High School about the transition of our 8th grade students up to Liberty as the class of 2023! Parents, please mark the date of Wednesday, January 23rd as the first of several parent orientation nights at Liberty. A flyer will be sent home with our 8th graders, and we are sure Liberty will be sending out their own Parent-Link with more information. With this in mind we continue to stress with all of our children the importance of paying attention to their schoolwork. Before they know it, time will pass and they will all have to decide what they are going to do after graduation and whether they are going to apply to college or another type of post secondary school. It is hard to believe how fast the time does go by.
This week we will begin many of our 2nd set of afterschool clubs and activities. Please ask your children if they have signed up to be in our afterschool clubs and remind them to communicate with you the days they will be staying after the normal dismissal time. With so many activities we really need to make sure our students take responsibility to communicate their whereabouts, so that everyone is on the same page. Friday night we have an exciting display of our students’ talents when our PUMAS encore team hosts the annual Northeast’s Got Talent. The doors open at 6 p.m. and the show begins at 6:30 p.m.
In athletics this week our boys and girls basketball teams each have two games. On Monday the teams face Nitschmann with the boys being home and then Thursday they take on Nazareth with the girls being home. Have a great remainder to your weekend.
