Hello, Norte Vista students and families!
As always, I hope this message finds you in good health and spirits, and, of course, being Brave!
First, I would again like to start by emphasizing our "10 Things that require zero talent" guidelines, which are posted on the banner below, as well as in every classroom on campus. If students focus on these traits every day, they will surely find success at Novi, and throughout life. The first and most important is "Being on Time". Please do everything you can, every school day, to get your students to school on time, so they are in class ready to learn before the tardy bell rings. Every class, every assignment, and every test or quiz counts. Remember, the best plan for graduating on time is to be present, and pass every class, for the very first time!
Next, this Thursday, March 16, 2023, we will be holding our second-semester Parent-Teacher Conferences, from 4:00 to 7:00 PM. We hope to see you there, as this is the perfect opportunity to speak with your student's teachers in person. This is also the perfect time to hear how your student is performing, and what you can do to help your student continue to achieve. We hope to see you there! Please also be aware that March 16 and 17 are both minimum school days, and students will be exiting campus at 1:15 pm on both days.
Third, our Senior Class of 2023 will be graduating on May 24, 2023!! This is an exciting time of the year, but please do not forget, we still have several seniors that must still complete credit recovery courses to guarantee they walk on graduation day. If you receive an email from me about your student needing to complete credit recovery courses, please speak with your student, their counselor, and me immediately to make sure the requirements for graduation are clearly understood. If you are not sure if your senior is on track to graduate, please contact Mr. Marquez, or your student's counselor immediately.
Finally, thank you for your continued support of the Norte Vista High School cell phone policy, food delivery policy, dress code policy, and new tardy policy. These policies, along with other site or district policies, help maintain high expectations and the safest learning environment possible, free of disruptions and distractions. We thank you for your cooperation and support in addressing these policies, and ensuring academic achievement remains a top priority not just on campus, but throughout our entire community!
