First, I want to extend a huge thank you to our incredible Office of School Counseling for hosting a tremendously successful Senior Parent Night this week. The turnout was excellent, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Helping our students and families navigate the college application process is a crucial part of our mission, and the counseling team's hard work and preparation truly made the evening an invaluable resource for our senior families.

You may have noticed the significant progress being made on our new turf field! The construction is coming along nicely and is starting to transform that space. We are on track and looking forward to the day our students can officially utilize this wonderful addition to our campus.

Please remember that school officially starts at 8:10 AM. This means students need to be seated in their first-block classroom and ready to learn at 8:10 AM, not just entering the building or walking the halls. Instructional time is precious, and arriving on time ensures students don't miss important announcements or lesson introductions, which sets them up for a successful day.

We ask for your support in reminding your student of the importance of punctuality and helping them establish a routine that ensures they are on campus and in class well before the 8:10 AM bell.

high-school students (you do not need to be a member of NHS to request a peer tutor).If you

would like to request a peer tutor, please follow the procedure below and check out the peer

students tutor in multiple subjects (and many students tutor in the same subject), so try

to find who you feel will be the best fit for your needs.
