Principal Weekly Updates
August 8, 2022:
Hello, Norte Vista students and families!
As always, I hope my message continues to find you in good health and spirits. First, I want to express how great it was to have students back on campus, and how great the first two days of school went! Both our certificated and classified staff did an amazing job preparing for the start of the school year, and this was evident throughout both days. Teachers spent the first two days engaging students in activities with the purpose of building connections and encouraging students to be active participants in their education.
Second, we are still in the process of enrolling students that missed registration days, making the necessary schedule changes, and balancing classes. So, there is still the possibility that your student may receive a schedule change over the next two weeks, as we balance the number of students in each classroom. Besides these schedule changes, be aware of other reasons why we will, or will not, change schedules:
- Schedule changes will NOT BE MADE for the following reasons:
- You want a different teacher.
- You don’t like the class
- You want a different period.
- You want a different lunch
- You want to be with your friend
- Schedule changes will BE MADE for the following reasons:
- You already passed that class.
- You are missing a class
- You have double periods (Example: two 3rd period classes)
- Incorrect grade level
Third, please be aware that school-wide staff will be focusing on students being in class on time, and students NOT using their cell phones/earbuds during instructional time. Please help support staff by emphasizing to your students the importance of being in class on time, every day, every period, and being a responsible user of technology during instructional time. We thank you for your cooperation and support on these two topics.
