The Wolverine
A Monthly Newsletter for NFHS Students and Families
Hello NFHS Families and Students,
Welcome to the February 2025 Edition of The Wolverine!
We made it half way through the school year! The 30 week marking period has begun. As we begin the second half of the school year, it is very important to stay focused and positive. Please encourage your students to keep up good attendance, academics, and on-task behavior. We are grateful to you, the parents and guardians, who support them each day to make school a priority. Let's have a great start to the new year!
As always, please reach out to us if you need anything.
Your Proud Principals,
Cheryl Vilardo, Ed Ventry, Bryan Rotella, Val Rotella-Zafuto, and Nick Ruffolo
