Reminder for Parents/Guardians of Students in Athletics/Activities
If your child participated in a sport or activity this school year and you have yet to complete our ISD 622 feedback survey, please consider completing the form so that your voice can be heard. Your feedback will help us to identify goals and clarify priorities for programming in an effort to help ensure quality experiences for all student participants. This information will also help ensure we are offering high-quality programs that meet the needs of our students, families and community.
Bilingual Seals Test
North had 70 students complete the Bilingual Seals test this year, a test where students can earn credit for knowing a language other than English. Students who received a Seal will get 6 high school elective credits and a notation added to their transcript, and seniors who received a Bilingual Seal in 10th, 11th, or 12th grade and are on track to graduate will receive a separate invitation to be acknowledged at the June 18th school board meeting.
This year we had students earn a number of awards:
32 World Language Proficiency
16 Gold
4 Platinum
Congratulations to our multilingual Polars!
