NAHS STEM January Newsletter
Happy New Year!
Welcome back to the January edition of the 2023-2024 NAHS STEM Newsletter!
In this update, the newsletter visits some amazing stories of achievement from NAHS’s
talented STEM department, how to keep your New Year’s Resolution, and the
regular updates on volunteer opportunities, scholarships, and internships on the
Back Page. Enjoy!
Teachers of Full-year courses or Semester courses may choose to give a Midterm or Final exam. Teachers will let your student know if they are going to give a Midterm or Final at the end of the month. Teachers that choose to give a Midterm or Final will use the schedule below. We will offer this schedule by period as we can’t align a schedule by subject due to the dropped class each day. Teachers giving a unit test or other assessment for their course will also plan for these periods at the end of the semester. Please see page one of the Faculty Grading Language: FAQ document for the agreed upon language of Midterms/Finals.

KNIGHTS LOCKER
Knights Locker is a sibling of Knights Closet at NAMS. The mission and vision of Knights Locker is to provide free clothing & personal hygiene products to any student that has an immediate need. Our vision is to help empower students by providing clothing that will in-turn foster an increased sense of positive self-worth, confidence, and belonging.
In the Spring, we have 3 events at NAHS that require a departure from students' everyday attire: Freshman-Sophomore Semi Formal (March), Junior Prom (April) and Senior Prom (May). To ensure that all students can attend if they choose, we accept formalwear donations. Please consider donating to our current wish list. Please email knightslocker@northandoverpublicschools.com to make arrangements to drop-off of any formalwear.
The Knight's Locker is currently low on a few items and would greatly appreciate any donations. They are specifically looking for leggings, backpacks, face wash and body wash. We do have an Amazon Wish List but would happily accept donations from anywhere.
Thank you so much in advance for your generosity!
