Weekly Update

Good afternoon families,

Today was a great day!

Our 10th and 11th graders showed their focus and grit in completing our PSAT.

Our seniors got to hear from our distinguished Northern Alumni and learn more about their experiences both at Northern and in life. Thank you to the following alumni who served as panelists.

Bonnie Goldman ‘68 (HOF inductee 2025)

Ken Blackmon ‘85 (HOF inductee 2025)

Brian Wolverton ‘88 (HOF inductee 2016)

Rose Robson ‘05

Colin Borow ‘14

Cameron Clauser ‘18

Finally, our freshmen began the day learning about Naviance and the start of the college planning process from our counselors. Afterwards, they attended an assembly from the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office regarding their digital footprint and how it follows them through their life.

Thank you for your continued partnership,

Kaitlin McCann

Students can wear something to represent the theme Fear the Farm. Fear= scary, Farm= farm animal, farmer, etc.

This weekend is Homecoming. The game is tonight (a first at NBC). There will not be the carnival that we have had for the last several years because of the night game.

The game is a “Whiteout.” The official whiteout shirts were available during lunches.

Just a reminder that the varsity football games are not drop-off events for middle school and elementary school students. Any student attending the game must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

Tickets for all Northern Burlington High School athletic events like football, basketball and wrestling, can be purchased online at the link below:

Please be sure to select the correct game when purchasing, as multiple events may be listed at the same time.

Linked below is a chart outlining the standardized tests scheduled for this school year. Please note that the chart is for informational purposes only.

If you have any questions regarding the assessments or the information provided, please do not hesitate to contact your students' school counselor.

If your child is missing an item, particularly a piece of clothing or a water bottle, please encourage them to check the lost and found. Most of our lost and found items are on tables outside the gymnasium and items that are more valuable are on the main office counter (jewelry, electronics, etc). Ultimately, whatever is not picked up is donated at different times of the year to the PTSC clothing drive
