Welcome Students & Parents!! I am thrilled to be the AIG Specialist at Noble Middle School and to have the opportunity to work with you all this year! This is my 24th year teaching and my 21st year at Noble! Before I became the AIG Specialist, I taught ELA in 7th and 8th grade. I have my Masters in Curriculum, Instruction, and Supervision and I am a National Board Certified Teacher. I am looking forward to supporting and working with your children this year in a variety of ways! I am always available to answer questions or address any concerns you may have.

AIG Mastery begins next week!!

Starting next week, I will be pulling AIG students (alphabetically) in 6th & 7th grade during mastery starting with the 6th graders. AIG mastery will take place in the library and students will receive a pass from their homeroom teacher to attend. These will be rotatiing groups; therefore, students will attend their regular mastery group when it is not their week for AIG mastery.

6th Grade AIG Mastery days are Tuesday & Thurday.

7th Grade AIG Mastery days are Monday & Thursday.

Activites include:

• Games
• Puzzles
• Projects
• Competitions
• Debates
• Seminars
• WHATEVER the students need or are interested in!

The GAC is a community council composed of NHCS employees, families, and business/community members who want to support the NHCS AIG Program. It is affiliated with the NHCS Board of Ed and school system, but not run by NHCS or the BOE. It is its own separate entity. Liaisons attend the monthly meeting and share information with me to support our students.

If you are interested in serving in this role, please let me know. jennifer.waring@nhcs.net

I am developing your student's Differentiated Education Plan (DEP). Noble AIG students' DEPs will be emailed home for signatures. However, if you are new to Noble and would like to discuss how our AIG program works in middle school and to sign your student's DEP, I am more than happy to schedule a conference time with you as well. Please email me if you would like to setup a conference.

Every year, middle and high school students participate in the Congressional App Challenge. This nationwide competition encourages students to learn how to code by creating their own applications, allowing students to showcase their skills in programming and computer science while supporting the next generation of STEM leaders.

The winner will be eligible to have their app displayed in the U.S. Capitol, featured on the U.S. House of Representatives website, and will be invited to attend the #HouseofCode Capitol Hill reception.

1. To be eligible to participate in the Congressional App Challenge, you must be a middle or high school student at the time of app submission and must reside or go to school within North Carolina’s 7th Congressional District (determine your federal representative here).
2. Students may register as individuals or as teams of up to four. No more than four students are allowed on a team.
3. Students may compete in the district they reside in or the district they attend school in.
4. If competing as a team, at least half of the teammates must be eligible to compete in the district in which they are participating in.

To participate, students must register online and submit their apps before October 24, 2025.
