Good Afternoon Northley Families,
 
Can the weather get any more up & down? While the students may love them, I hope we don't have any more snow days. As a result of the snow day and delayed start at SVHS Thursday, we had to move a couple of 8th grade events. The 8th grade class picture will be rescheduled for a later date and half the scheduling for 9th grade will be completed this coming Tuesday.   
 
Fiddler On The Roof: It's not too late! You can still attend this weekend's performances of Northley's Musical Fiddler On The Roof. Performances are tonight and tomorrow @ 7:15 PM and tomorrow at  2:00 PM. We hope to see you there.  
 
Vaping Presentations: In previous weekly bulletins, I have provided families with information and articles regarding Vaping and JUUL use, hazards, and prevention. In an effort to better inform students of the same, the Northley administrators and school counselors are working with our SRO Coyle on grade level specific presentations. The students will attend the presentation during a related arts period this coming Monday. Take a moment Monday night to have a conversation regarding the presentation.   

Spring Sports: It's that time again. There will be a meeting for all 7th and 8th grade students who are interested in playing a Spring sport on March 6th from 3-3:30 in the gym. Students will be able to sign up and meet the coaches. The first day of tryouts/practices begin on March 11th.
Students need a PIAA sports physical or a Section 7 Re-certification form to participate.
Glass bottles: Parents, we will be reminding students this week that they are not allowed to bring in glass bottles to school. Please take a second in the morning to make sure they are not bringing glass containers (Starbucks cold drinks, Snapple, etc.).    
 
Book Fair: The Spring Book Fair is fast approaching. Please click on the link below for more information.  
                                                                                                                                             
PTL BINGO NIGHT: Northley's PTL will be hosting a CASH BINGO NIGHT on April 5th from 7-9:30 PM at the Brookhaven Municipal Center. Please be looking for more information regarding this event. NOTE: This is a 21+ event.   
 
Have a fabulous weekend.

Recent and Upcoming Events



CAREER CAFE
The counselors are starting a new program this month called Career Café which runs from now until June. Each month, 2-3 career speakers will visit the NMS library to speak to small groups of students in each grade. Speakers will share information about their job, career path, education, and what they do on a daily basis. Students will have the opportunity to ask questions and gain valuable insight about the connection between school and the real world of work. There are 16 total career speakers, one for each of the 16 Career Clusters. Students already signed up to attend one speaker.

Students will be given a pass so they can get their lunch and report to the library on the day of their speaker. They will also be given FIVE stamps on their PBIS stamp card to reward them for participating in this program. Below are the career clusters represented. The specific speakers are not all finalized yet, but will be in the field listed below. If students are interested in a speaker/career cluster and did not get a slot, they should come to the counseling center and sign up for an extra spot (there will be some available for each speaker) or contact their grade level counselor.

We appreciate your support in helping our students gain valuable information about the world of work!

Career Clusters
Marketing, Finance, Hospitality/Tourism, Health Science, Information Technology, Art/AV/Technology & Communications, Agriculture/Food and Natural Resources, Law/Public Safety, Business Management, Education and Training, Government and Public Administration, Manufacturing, Architecture and Construction, STEM, Human Services, Transportation and Distribution
