Good Afternoon Northley Families,
 
The Nor'easter did not dampen the spirits of the 6th & 7th graders at the Haunted Hallway and Dance. There were over 300 students who experienced tonight's activities. I saw many students short of breath and teary-eyed as they exited the Haunted Hall. I want to thank all the PTL, the parents/friends/neighbors, and the Sun Valley ROTC for coordinating this scary tradition. We couldn't do it without your combined efforts.
 
PBIS Bingo Night: Do you have anything going on this coming Friday night Nov 2nd, 2018? If not, come out and support Northley's PBIS program. There will be many prizes, raffle baskets, music, and much more. Please see below for more details.  
 
Student Led Conferences: There are just over 3 weeks before our Student Led Conferences. Please take a minute to scroll down below, select the appropriate grade and team link for your child, and sign up for a conference slot. This is a wonderful time to see what your child is doing and accomplishing in their class while seeing it through their eyes. Don't miss out on an amazing opportunity.  
 
Northley Scholastic Book Fair: Our annual Book Fair is fast approaching. Students will be able to shop the week prior to conferences and the parents will be able to peruse the two days of conferences. However, we need your help. The PTL is looking for parents who can commit to help out during the book fair. Please click on the link below and sign up for as many slots as you can. Thank you in advance for helping out.
PSA: I came across this article on popularity of and most used social media sites this week. It is a quick read to better understand the trends with teens. We are all in the business of protecting our youth at school, home, and in the community. We continue to share information to our students on how to safely access social media, digital citizenship, and limiting their exposure on line. I want to thank all the parents you have reached out to us on issues revolving social media and cyber bullying. We cannot stop it with out your collaboration.
