Dear Griffin Families,
Our fifth and sixth grade Intramural Basketball Season had their championship tournament this past weekend with the Pevensies Boys and Lady Baggins coming out on top. I want to congratulate all our scholar-athletes who played this year and give a special thank you to the teachers who gave up additional time to coach and build fundamental athletic skills throughout the year.
Though the year is winding down we are still as busy as ever. We are halfway through our STAAR testing window. Our 3rd and 4th graders are preparing to take their STAAR exams this coming week. The fifth grade will be taking their Science exam on Wednesday. The campus will continue to be closed to all visitors when testing is in session. Please make sure students arrive at school with plenty of sleep, a good meal that will help sustain mental energy, and with enough time to get situated to start their day off organized.
Remember we are now accepting applications for the GHNO Academy Advisory Committee please find additional details here on how you can be a part of this forum.
It is very important to remember that we at Northern Oaks teach from the first to the last day of school. Students will have a final math test, Spalding test, or poetry recitation depending on their grade level. Attendance is mandatory to receive credit on these final assessments of the year.
Sincerely,
