Next week high school students will do MAP testing in the multipurpose room.  More information will be in the announcements later.

 

HS students:  We will be starting a new HS homework policy starting this week.  Students will have 3 days to turn in homework assignments for any given class.  Any homework assignment not turned in before the 3 days will become a zero (no credit earned for that assignment).  Students who are absent fall under the make-up work policy where they have 2 days to get work made up.  Teachers can request that you stay after school with them or come to school early to get work completed.  Detention may be assigned to students who do not stay after or come early for a teacher.  Our ultimate goal is to improve on getting homework completed in a timely and adequate manner.  Talk to your teachers if you have any questions.

 

HS students:  Starting next week, any HS student who has all of their homework adequately completed will be able to opt out of attending 9th period Study Hall/Homeroom for certain designated days.  Students who do not have all homework for the week completed are required to attend their 9th period Study Hall/Homeroom.

 

Seniors please bring your senior photos that you want in the yearbook to the high school office.  You can have one formal and one casual photo and if you want to email photos send to arnevik@northiowa.org

 

Just a reminder to all those wanting to be active over the winter months – we have a winter fitness club that meets on Mondays and Thursdays after school at 3:40-4:30.  If you have any questions, contact Mr. Potter.
