Weekly Wildcat Newsletter - May 26
Northwestern Middle School News and Notes
Happy Thursday Wildcat Country!
School is out for summer!
I know I speak for all of the Northwestern Middle School faculty and staff when I say it has been a pleasure to serve our students and community this school year. Thank you for your continued support of our school!
I hope all of our students have a safe, fun and eventful summer break!
During June, our Weekly Wildcat newsletter will be sent out every two weeks. We will begin sending out newsletters again on a weekly basis after the July 4th holiday.
I'm looking forward to seeing our students again in August!

Northwestern Clinic News
As the school year winds down, we request that you plan to pick up any medication or supplies your child may have in the Clinic. All medications (prescription and over-the-counter), must be picked up by May 26th. Any medications not picked up by May 26th will be discarded as we cannot keep medications over the summer.
In the event your child requires medications for next school year, please remember to fill out a Medication Authorization Form. Provide the Medication Authorization Form and medication to the Clinic when school begins in August.
Please Note: All Prescription Medications MUST have a Doctor’s signature in order for the Clinic Staff to administer the medication. All medications MUST be in an original labeled container with a current expiration date.
Please notify the clinic if your child is planning to attend summer school and will require medication or has healthcare needs such as diabetes, asthma, seizures, allergies. Medication forms and/or health care plans are required during summer school.
