Omaha North

Greetings Viking Families,

The 2022-23 School Year is off to a great start. We are excited to have students engaged in learning and extra-curricular activities! Be sure to keep up with everything by following the North High Calendar at mhsaaconference.org.

Continue to support your students with arriving to school on-time with their fully charged iPad and cord. Teachers are working hard to provide high quality learning experiences where students develop communication, collaboration, innovation, and critical thinking skills.

School Safety is our top priority so we will be reviewing Safety Procedures and conducing safety drills. Your students may also talk to you about “hall sweeps,” which are designed to get students to class on-time. We also continue our partnership with the Omaha Police Department K9 Unit to assist with detection of contraband at school. All these measures are part of our continuing effort so cultivate a positive, safe, and rigorous learning environment.

Please review the Newsletter for additional updates. Thank you for your continued support of the Viking Community. If you have any questions, please contact us at 531-299-2700.

Go Vikings!

Dear Omaha North High Families,

Thank you for being our partners in the education of your student(s). At the start of the 2022-23 school year we will be participating in an Attendance Text message program called Attendance Navigator Assistant (A.N.A). This program will replace the morning automated call and will notify you via text message when your student is absent. The message will be sent to your email if you do not have a mobile number registered with the District. Although each message is attached to a specific day, it is important to submit a response the same day if possible. Also, if you want to record an absence in advance, you can continue to contact our attendance office 531-299-2708. In order to ensure you are enrolled to participate in this program please confirm your contact information is correct and up-to-date with the front office. Contact your school 531-299-2700 to make changes or if you have additional questions.

We thank you in advance for your communication and commitment to our students.

Estimadas Familias de Omaha North High,

Gracias por ser nuestros socios en la educación de su(s) estudiante(s). Al inicio del año escolar 2022-23 estaremos participando en un programa de mensajes de texto de asistencia llamado Asistente de Navegador de Asistencia (A.N.A). Este programa reemplazará la llamada automatizada de la mañana y le notificará por mensaje de texto cuando su estudiante esté ausente. El mensaje se enviará a su correo electrónico si no tiene un número de teléfono móvil registrado en el Distrito. Aunque cada mensaje es por un día específico, es importante enviar una respuesta el mismo día si es posible. Además, si desea reportar una ausencia con anticipación, puede continuar comunicándose con nuestra oficina de asistencia 531-299-2708. Con el fin de asegurarse de que está inscrito para participar en este programa por favor confirme que su información de contacto esta correcto y actualizado con la oficina principal. Póngase en contacto con su escuela 531-299-2700 para hacer cambios o si tiene preguntas adicionales.

Le agradecemos por su comunicación y compromiso hacia nuestros estudiantes.

The Viking cheerleaders who went to a cheer competition this summer and won 1st place, voted as the most impressive team and were asked to perform their routine in front of the rest of the competition. Way to go, Vikings!

Brenna Jean Paul, Analiese Wheeler, Teaghan Perigo, Christian Cole, and Rachel Lundt, 12th grade students who completed and won 2nd place for a mural at the summer Arts Festival. The theme was "Wild Omaha". The mural is 5'x6' and is located in Room 364.

Homecoming is October 7th for the parade and October 8th for the dance. New dance participation guidelines are in effect this year for Omaha public schools and students, in order to attend the dance of your school or another ops school you must be a student in good standing. What does that mean? Examples include but are not limited to, behavior events regarding drugs/alcohol, behavior events regarding fighting and attendance. Remember, the dance is an extra-curricular activity meaning it is a privilege not a right. If you cannot follow the expectations and guidelines during the school day, you will not be able to participate in the fun things. This will also apply to Prom in the spring.

The purchase price before January is $50.00. After January, the price is $60.00. The last day to Preorder is April 1st. Scan the QR below to order online or pick up an order form in room 331.

Do you feel you are adjusting to the new school year, ok? Stressed? Anxious? Not feeling like yourself? You are not alone with all the emotions you may be experiencing.

Schools and communities must be prepared for a variety of emergency situations. Our school has established plans and has prepared for major emergency situations. We believe a person’s reaction to an emergency situation depends largely on their training and practice beforehand.

Omaha Public Schools uses the Standard Response Protocol (SRP), which includes five main drills: Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter.
