Dear Middle North Families,
We look forward to seeing many of our families at the upcoming Parent-Teacher conferences! February conferences will be held on the evening of Thursday, February 13th and the morning of Friday, February 14th. Please be looking for communication from your students' advisory teacher regarding sign up procedures.
There are many opportunities to support our MSN students this weekend and into next week! On Saturday, come out to cheer on our Boys Basketball team for their first regional tournament game at Thomas Middle School at 9am. Or, you can watch our Science Olympiad team flex their knowledge at the Kild-Mas Founders Invitational. Starting next week, all of our girls Volleyball games will be at home, which means extra Eagle Pride! We are so proud of the work and efforts of ALL of our Middle North Students.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Ms. Waggoner & Ms. Porzel

Pickup and Dropoff Procedures
In an effort to keep our students safe at arrival and dismissal, please make sure you are dropping your students off and picking them up in the car line, from the passenger side. Do not park and let out or pick up students. In addition, students may not be dropped off along Hawthorn Parkway, as busses and other vehicles are continuously in motion.
Student Supplies
Additionally some students have chosen not have locks on their lockers. As a result, we have received student reports of missing items and belongings. Locking their lockers is the only way that students can ensure their materials and personal items are protected. Please work with your student to ensure they have a lock and are using them on their personal locker.
MSN Athletics
Check out our Middle School North Weekly Athletic Update! We are so happy to see so many of our students involved in after school sports and are proud of all of their celebrations so far. Mark your calendar for upcoming events and competitions.
Healthy Hawthorn
Cold and Flu season is upon us. If you are reporting an absence for your student, please indicate the reason why. If your student begins to feel unwell during the school day, they must visit the nurse to be checked out. It is important that we track symptoms to ensure that our students and staff are healthy and available to do their best. Finally, if there are any updates to your students' health or medications, please make sure you indicate that to our nursing staff. Let's work together for a healthier Hawthorn!

Making Up Missed Assignments & Assessments
Students who miss school due to a valid absence, such as a religious observance, have the opportunity to make up any assessments, homework, or classwork. If your child needs time to complete assignments due to a religious holiday, please connect with their teacher to develop a plan. For any questions, please contact your school principal.
No Phones
Please remind your child, no phones at school. According to our Student Handbook, phones must be powered off and out of sight throughout the entire school day. They can be turned back on once school is over.
If students need to contact parents, office phones are available. Phones seen during the school day may be confiscated by a staff member and kept in the office until the end of the day. These expectations also apply to smartwatches.
