Attendance Matters!

Northview's average daily attendance for the week was 97.2% for week from 1/13 to 1/27. That's a 9.1% increase from the previous week. Let’s keep striving for even better attendance as we approach the 100th day of school.

Congratulations to Jake Salas, who proudly represented Northview at the Winter PBS Student Reporting Lab Academy. A special thank you to Ms. Amy Woods for attending his interview day at the Autry Museum last week. See pictures below.

Athletic Update:

A huge round of applause to the Northview Boys and Girls Wrestling Teams, who are now the Valle Vista League Champions! They celebrated their Senior Night last Wednesday, honoring their achievements and dedication.

Have an amazing week, Vikings! Together, we thrive!

Seniors, it's time to start planning how you'll be celebrating your graduation. One way is to attend Grad Nite at the Disneyland Resort. Your ticket will include a Park Hopper ticket for both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure plus entrance to an exclusive private party in the evening at Disney California Adventure. Contact NHS PTSA with any questions northviewhighschoolptsa1959@gmail.com.

Greetings from the Wellness Center,

As we start a new year, it’s important to celebrate ourselves and our accomplishments. Every day, you have an opportunity to learn about yourself as a learner. Maybe you have learned that you understand more from class when you take notes, or that you comprehend more when you listen to an audiobook while you’re reading, or that your writing is so much more organized when you use a graphic organizer. Take some time and think about yourself as a learner and what you have learned about yourself as a student. Reflect on the following questions:

• What am I good at?
• What am I interested in?
• What is challenging for me?
• What helps me do my best work?

As we dive into a new semester, remember that success comes from dedication and consistent effort. Whether you’re applying to colleges, exploring financial aid options, or seeking scholarships, staying focused and proactive will help you achieve your goals. Let’s work hard and make this semester your best yet!
