North High Newsletter
October 2025
Viking Families,
Teachers and students are working hard for a strong finish to the 1st quarter (Oct. 10th). Thank you for helping your students make attendance to school and class a priority. Remember that we have free tutoring available every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 3:15-5:00 in the Homework Help Room located in the school library.
We regularly review what it means to Be a Viking: Responsible, Respectful and Accountable! We want students to enjoy extracurricular activities while keeping success in the classroom as priority #1. To that end, we will consider attendance and behavior when determining whether students can attend games, dances, concerts, or other activities. Student engagement in the classroom leads to greater involvement in and connection to our school community.
Also, we continue our partnership with the OPD K-9 Unit to assist with the detection of contraband at school. All these measures are part of our ongoing effort to cultivate a positive, safe, and rigorous learning environment.
Parent-Teacher Conferences will be on 10/14 from 3:30-6:30 (virtual on Teams), 10/15 from 3:30-6:30 in person in the MPC, and 10/16 from 9:00-1:00 in person in the MPC. See details below. There is no school for students on 10/16 and 10/17.
As always, thank you for your continued support of the Viking Community. If you have any questions, please contact us at 531-299-2700.
