Homecoming was an overwhelming success! From powderpuff football and the film on the field with our Best Buddies, to the homecoming football game, to the parade and the dance, our students had so much fun. We were able to showcase the best of what North Point High School has to offer. Thank you to everyone who made all of it possible.

Our wonderful Grizzly Marching Band and guard have competed in multiple competitions and marched in our homecoming parade, as well. They continue to represent North Point well with their musical and rhythmic talents.

If you've not seen their performances, Launch, catch it during halftime of our final home football game on 10/23 or check out their Glow Show Thursday 10/22 at 8:30pm or their Marquette competition on 10/24.

Having great attendance is a must for athletes and activities participants. Not only does being in class regularly help with your grades, but it is required to be able to participate on a day when your sport or activity has a contest or game!

Our North Point parents have been great so far about keeping my office up to date, thank you for your efforts! Here are a few quick reminders:

- If your student will miss all or a portion of a school day that falls on the same date as a game/contest, this absence will need to be pre-approved by Mr. Kolons.

- Parents should email Mr. Kolons at least 24 hours in advance of the absence on a contest day, including partial absences for doctors appointments. I will respond back approving or denying the ability to play/participate.

- Students should bring a doctor's note back with them to give to the attendance office upon their return.

- Remember, any absence that isn't pre-approved (including leaving school for lunch or for forgotten items at home) on the day of a contest will make the student ineligible to compete that day.

- Be careful with Fridays or days prior to breaks, if the contest is on a Saturday and the absence occurs on a Friday, a student will not be eligible to compete on Saturday.

- All absences should be called in or emailed to the attendance office, and absences from a practice should be communicated directly with coaches and sponsors.

Thank you for your continued help!
