Huskie Howler
Monday, March 18, 2024
Dear Parents/Guardians,
First and foremost, thank you to our Home and School partners for the tremendous volunteerism at Saturday night's Spring Dance! We, as well as our student body, appreciate your hard work and giving spirit to make all of our Huskie events so successful! Also, a huge shout out to our Dress Up 203 team that worked tirelessly and selflessly to give back to the 203 community of high school students. Being around our amazing Huskie community this week and weekend filled me with joy and gratitude.
Also, a reminder that we have an E-learning day on Tuesday, 3/19, due to election day so students will follow the remote learning format. Classes will resume on Wed 3/20. Spring Break begins 3/25 and classes resume on April 1st.
This is a reminder that the 2023-24 Illinois Supplemental Parent Survey opened on Jan. 30, 2024 and will close on March 29, 2024, so this is the last opportunity to share your voice in the future direction of NNHS. As of today, only 21% of our parent/caregiver group has recorded their thoughts in the survey.

Thank you for entrusting your students to our care.
Stephanie Posey
Principal
