Council Rock North Update

Congratulations to Mason Ambs on earning a spot at the All State Choir Festival. We are so proud of his accomplishments.

This weekend, 36 Council Rock North students presented their STEM research projects at the Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Sciences Regional Competition. Twenty-seven students received a 1st Award and qualify to enter into the State Level PJAS competition, which will be held at Penn State in May. Note – five students with a 1st* received PERFECT SCORES!!! Also, a special thank you to CREF for all the support through grants which made many of these project possible.

Congratulations to all!!!

North's National English Honor Society collected 2,864 books for their biennial book drive! The books have been donated to Philadelphia's Project Home Books, which seeks "to empower adults, children, and families to break the cycle of homelessness and poverty, to alleviate the underlying causes of poverty, and to enable all of us to attain our fullest potential as individuals and as members of the broader society." Leading the charge were co-presidents Zeynep Tipi and Christopher Woods and junior VP Morgan Marshall. Thank you to all who donated.

Students in Mrs. Schofield's class held a film festival on patterned imagery.

Students are provided District issued Chromebooks or laptops for educational use. Utilizing these devices allows for protections and proper monitoring during the school day. This includes teachers use of GoGuardian to ensure academic integrity. Student are required to use these devices in their classes. We have seen an increase in devices being brought into North and student requests to utilize their own devices. These requests will not be approved except for rare situations where our Adaptive Technology Specialist is unable to add resources to the District devices to accommodate the need.

It is time to once again begin thinking about planning an appropriate program of studies for your child. Within the next few weeks, your student will be choosing a program of studies for next year. Several dates and activities have been scheduled to help you and your student make these choices.

They include:

Parent Orientation (Links to presentations/pages below)

- Department Elective Videos

- Curricular overview for families of current 8th grade and new students

- College Standardized Testing Overview

- College Exploration Seminar

- Orientation to Naviance

January 30th - March 6th: Counselor Meetings

- Counselors will meet with students and families to finalize student requests. Information will be shared by your student's counselor about meetings.
