Principal's Update
Hey everyone! Dr. Nover here. Happy Friday! And, happy winter break!
I always love Spirit Week. There is something special about seeing our kids find joy in small moments. And, adults, too! This spirit week was extra special given our Valentine's Day celebrations. I think I am still picking up candy wrappers off the floor!
Celebrations are always fun, but I would be remiss if I did not remind everyone about our district's wellness policy. We use this policy as a guide for planning celebrations and experiences. Also, please be reminded that we do not allow students to accept food deliveries during the school day, this includes deliveries of fast food by parents. While I was on maternity leave, Ms. Ostrofsky shared these expectations in an OBlast.
We have concluded our winter NWEA testing period. These reports will be available after the break.
We have heard concerns about our students' typing skills given how much work is completed on our Chromebooks. Below you will find typing resources for students to practice! These will be shared in grade-level Google classrooms as well.
When we return from break, we will hit the ground running with academic preparations and fun activities! We will continue our celebration of Black History Month with a special celebration planned in collaboration with our student leaders on Tuesday, February 27th. On Thursday, February 29th we will have our first 7th grade dance that has been planned and organized by the students. The event will take place at 4:00 PM. All students MUST purchase their ticket in advance for $1. Tickets are being sold at lunch. We are planning other experiences for our 6th and 8th graders. Stay tuned!!
Have a wonderful weekend and a great break. I look forward to seeing all of our students on Monday, February 26th! And, as always, don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything!
With gratitude,
Dr. Nicole Mangiere Nover
