Thanks for Another Great Year of Learning!

On behalf of the entire staff, I would like to thank you for partnering with us to meet the needs of your children. Due to your ongoing support, students have shown their brilliance and developed the inner drive needed to meet the upcoming challenges during the 2007-2008 school year. We love Northglade and look forward to strengthening our relationships with families next year.

Grace & Courtesy Focal Points:

· Sit properly in chairs with feet firmly planted on the floor.

· Focus on work while using materials in hallways.

· Avoid touching or leaning against windows and walls while traveling or working in the hallways.

Concerns, Questions, Comments…

Please plan on completing the Parent Questionnaire this week. Your feedback will be used to improve and/or enhance the various areas of our learning environment.
