Important Reminders for Raider Families
Dual Language Meet and Greet
On Wednesday, May 29th at 6:00 p.m., we will be hosting a Dual Language Meet and Greet Event at Northern. During this event, we will host incoming Dual Language students from South Elementary and Woodland Elementary. We are also inviting our current NMS Dual Language Students in 6th Grade to attend with their families. Please check out the flyer attached here for more information. You can RSVP for that evening by clicking here.
EOG Remediation and Retesting
On Friday, all students came home with letters regarding their performance on End of Grade Assessments for Reading, Math, and Science (8th Grade only). These letters let you know if you child was proficient or not on their End of Grade Assessments. For any students who were not proficient, we will be offering remediation and retesting the week of June 3rd. Please consider returning the letter so we can plan for your child to attend remediation and retesting sessions. All students wishing to retest their EOG must be present on June 3rd and June 4th for remediation days. If your child does not attend remediation on these days, they will not be allowed to retest. Retesting will occur on June 5th for 8th Grade Science, June 6th for Reading, and June 7th for Math.
