Welcome from Principal Drew Wood
Hello Raider Families,
It is hard to believe, but we are coming up on a year now of life and education during COVID-19. This past year has not been an easy one, but as hard as it has been I still find myself loving the greatest job on Earth; principal of Northridge High School. During this past year, I have had the opportunity to watch our young people work through new and frustrating problems no one would have predicted. Our students have developed grit and resilience this past year and after close to thirty years in education, I can say that student kindness and understanding for one another is the best I have ever seen it. I have faith in our students and know that they will be looked upon as another great generation!
Thank you for taking the time to read our updates from Northridge High School! It is our hope that this newsletter is an easy source to go to for current NHS information.
Go Raiders!!!

Digital Citizenship for Families
4 tips to boost kids' safety, privacy, and security
1: Use privacy settings: check privacy setting on apps and device
2: Read the fine print: are apps selling, storing, or keeping info
3: Discuss online scams, clickbait, and "special offers.": tell-tale signs: misspellings, poor grammar, photoshopped logos, pop-ups and quizzes
4: Understand how tech companies make money: how digital devices, social media platforms, apps and games get paid: selling ads or selling user info
