Principal's Point
Dear North Star Students and Families,
Winter Break starts today. Winter break is December 23 – January 8.
It is hard for me to imagine that the end of our first semester is here. Teachers and students have been working hard. We at North want to extend to you our best wishes as the winter season approaches. This newsletter is just in time for us to take a break from school. I hope that doesn't mean that students take a break from learning.
As your students are home during the break, I encourage you to have them continue to read daily. My suggestion is to set aside a time when you can sit and listen to, or read to your child. Be it a novel, a magazine, or the newspaper - your children look up to you as an example of the importance of reading. If they see you read, they see that reading can be enjoyable and something that they need to do all their lives. I hope you will take time this break to read with your child.
Our belief is that effective education results from a positive partnership of parents, students, and staff. This partnership is built on a strong foundation of commitment to student achievement and continues to grow with open communication between home and school. Parents set the tone for their children’s education by instilling the basic understanding that education and learning are important. You are a powerful influence on your child’s overall academic success! And we thank you for your continued dedication to your child.
I also want to take a moment to thank you for your overwhelming response to our request for assistance for families less fortunate throughout this semester. North is truly a wonderful and giving community!

Notes from the Nurse
Influenza. Let’s fight the flu together! Influenza is a contagious disease of the respiratory tract
(nose, throat, and lungs) that can lead to serious complications, including pneumonia and the
worsening of other chronic health conditions. Flu symptoms may include fever, headache,
extreme tiredness, dry cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, and muscle aches. The best
way to protect your family from new influenza strains is to get vaccinated each year.
The top five most virus-contaminated areas in the home are: telephones (have you cleaned
your cell phone lately?), appliances such as refrigerator and microwave, faucets, light switches,
door handles and TV remotes. Follow good health guidelines: eat right, exercise and get plenty
of rest to help boost your immunity to fight the effects of colds and flu. Wash hands or use
hand sanitizer frequently.
Have a Healthy & Happy Holiday!!
