MONARCH MAVENS is a group started by Jessie Olan last year dedicated to helping mentor 9th and 10th grade girls while giving back to the community. They launched the book drive in hopes of putting books into the hands of children and families by distributing them at Trunk or Treat and potentially sending them home in CHEW bags for students to read with younger siblings or share with other children in their neighborhoods. Please help us make this vision a reality. The Book Drive ends on 12/18th.

TARDY POLICY REMINDERS

PURPOSE: Being on time to school and class is crucial for student success and prepares them for future academic and career responsibilities.

DEFINITION: A student is considered tardy to school if they are not in the school by 7:09am. A student is considered tardy to class if they are not in the room when the tardy bell rings.

CONSEQUENCES: (Note: Tardy count is for EACH class, not combined): Office referrals begin with the third tardy to class. An administrator will make parent contact. This will be the final warning before the student receives ISS for excessive tardies.

Students are reminded that Power Hour is a requirement. Make your selections early to avoid missing out on sessions you prefer. Power Hour is the built-in time during the school day when students can attend tutoring, attend club/organization meetings, and attend enrichment sessions. Students are required to select a Power Hour session. The only students in Catch All should be students whose sessions have been cancelled. Catch All is not for students who did not find a session they “like.” Sessions can be selected for an entire week. Pick a session!

* WE ARE SEEING BELLIES, SHORT SHORTS AND SHORT SKIRTS. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT DRESS CODE WILL BE ENFORCED AS DOCUMENTED BELOW. THE POLICY IS IN EFFECT FOR MALES AND FEMALES.

All body parts from the shoulders to above the knees should be covered. Crop tops, low-cut tops, off the shoulder tops, sagging pants, extremely short shorts and skirts are not allowed as per the dress code in the student handbook. Students who are out of dress code will be sent to ISS, a referral for the violation will be input, and students will be given an opportunity to change clothing or contact someone for clothing.

Northside High School has a clear bag policy for ALL athletic events. ALL bags brought into an athletic event MUST be clear. Thank you in advance for adhering to this policy.

REMINDER REGARDING PURSES AT SCHOOL

PURSES, CROSS BODIES, TOTES, ETC SHOULD BE CLEAR AND FIT INTO YOUR CLEAR BACKPACK.
