Week of 3 March

Good Evening,

I trust everyone had a nice weekend.

Thank yous:
  • to the NJHS students for organizing the Lock-In for the MS students. There were approximately 120 students in attendance for an extremely active night! 
  • to you, parents, for not only your prompt pick ups on Friday morning but also for your kind words of appreciation of the activity.....with students organizing the event, other students attending the event, teachers volunteering their time and parents being appreciative.....simply makes it all worthwhile.
Reminders:
  • We have begun the admissions process for next year and are on track for having a record number of applications this year. The deadline for payment to secure your child's seat has passed. If you have not secured your seat it is imperative you do so as we have begun the acceptance process.
  • The MSA Accreditation visit will take place in two weeks. Accreditation is an important mechanism for us to continue building quality school programs and is an important piece of documentation for our Seniors as they apply to various universities around the world. 
Updates:
  • Students received information over the weekend through their Moodle accounts to sign up for our intramural clubs that will take place throughout the rest of the semester. Students have the option to sign up for basketball, tennis, badminton, or flag football. 
  • Students will begin developing an understanding of their upcoming Adventure Jordan trips throughout this week during advisory. We had hoped to have the detailed itineraries finalized by the weekend but a few adjustments still need to be made. However, the dates and locations for each trip remain the same as in last week's posting--Grades 6 and 7 will depart the first week after returning from Spring Break in April. Grade 8 students will depart the week of 20 May.
Have a good week this week.
