Principal Duckworth's Notes

We will be having picture retakes on Monday, December 1st. Anyone that needs to take retakes will be taken on the morning of Monday, December 1st. If you are an afternoon preschooler, who needs retakes, please bring them to the school, to get their picture retaken, between 10:00 and 11:00.

Beginning December 1st, E2 students will be selling Candy Cane Grams to all of the Northglade students and families. Candy Cane Grams are little notes that you can write to a friend or loved one, that will be delivered by our E2 students, the week before break. Of course, your Candy Cane Gram will come with a candy cane.

The Candy Cane Grams cost $1.00 and can be purchased at the school store in the am or pm. If you would like to send a few to students at Northglade, or send one to a teacher or to anyone at Northglade, just send in the money. We will send the grams home with your student, you write them a little note, send them back to school, and they will be delivered to them. Pease support our E2 students.

All funds will go towards the Sherman Lake Balance Fund.

Our E1 students will be going to watch Jazzy Ash an Education For the Arts , E.F.A., presentation, at Miller Auditorium. Students will leave around 11:30 and return at 1:20. Please make sure students are here on time to catch the bus.

Wednesday, December 3rd, please come and have breakfast at Northglade with your student(s). The PTO is sponsoring Breakfast Buddies. This is a time where you can come into the cafeteria to share a bite to eat? We will begin Breakfast Buddies at 8:15am - 9:00 am. Coffee and donuts will be provided.

Northglade Girls Scout Troop will have a troop meeting on Wednesday, December 3. The meeting will be held in the library from 4:00 - 5:30.

Girls on the Run inspires individuals of all abilities to discover, build, and grow their self-confidence. Together, they experience a sense of belonging and connection as a team. Volunteer coaches facilitate lessons that blend physical activity with life skill development, including managing emotions, fostering friendships, and expressing empathy. At the end of the season, the team completes a Community Impact Project and a 5K together, which provides a tangible sense of accomplishment and sets a confident mindset into motion.

Girls on the Run participant registration is open! 3-5th grade girls can register for a Northglade Team and opt to participate on Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday. Register here.

During the winter, our students do go outside to play during recess. This means that they need to dress for outdoors. Please be sure to send your students to school with proper outdoor gear. Things they may need are snow pants, gloves, hats, scarves, boots and coats. You may want to put an extra pair of socks in their backpacks just in case their socks get wet.

You may also want to dress students in layers for school. Some rooms seem to run hot, while others are a little cooler. Being able to take off or put on clothing while I class, may be helpful for your student.
