Just wrapped up a sweet September at Northley. Sports are officially underway and opening games occurred this week for Football, Soccer, Field Hockey, Volleyball and Cross Country. As a reminder, Northley emphasizes the responsibility of being a student-athlete first. Beginning next week, academic eligibility reports occur weekly to ensure all athletes are achieving in the classroom as well as the competition field. Now that October is upon us, many courses have summative assessments on the horizon. Summative assessments may come in the form of a test, quarterly exam, or other academic activity to determine level of understanding. These summative assessments are the largest grading category in most courses, with a 50% course weight. Schoology is a helpful resource to view upcoming assignments, assessments, and the academic calendar feature helps with planning for success. Please contact your child’s teacher with specific course questions.

In case you haven’t heard, next week is a PBIS Spirit Week to support both positive behavior in school and the Sun Valley Homecoming Game. 

In the picture below, students in math class try to find slope through a graph. Also, a small group of students reflected on Choose to Be Nice attributes and how they can be nice to others.

Have a great weekend!
