Congratulations to our Teacher of the Year, Ms. Strother!
Drop Off/Pick Up
We need your help to improve the safety of our school for our students in the parking lot. There are signs that read "Do Not Enter". Please adhere to these signs. We do not want any traffic coming through the parking lot lane closest to the building. Parents are asked to turn down the second row in the parking lot for student drop up and pick up. This will reduce the number of moving vehicles in the areas in which our students walk and stand in the mornings and afternoons.
Arrival and Departure
School doors open daily for students at 8:30am. Please do not drop students off prior to this time. Please use the parking lot on the side of the building to drop your students off. All students will enter the building from the front entrance (facing Todds Lane).
Dismissal is at 3:49pm daily. During the first week of school please be prepared for an extended dismissal due to the arrival of buses and students learning their bus numbers.
Northampton Community Center is in the process of developing an after school program. Until this is in place, no student will be allowed to go to the community center after dismissal. Students should proceed home, to their designated vehicles if they are a parent pick up and proceed to walk home. If you made any changes concerning transportation, please be aware it can take up to 72 hours before those changes take effect.
Learn about Google Apps to see what students have available to help them in the classroom and at home.
Dress Code
Students are expected to follow the guidelines set forth in the Rights & Responsibilities Handbook for dress code. Administration has final ruling on fads. Please be aware of a few of the basics when you buy school clothing. Clothes may not have any violent or inappropriate messages. This includes weapons displayed, cigarette, alcohol or drug paraphernalia. Shorts and skirts must be at least fingertip length all the way around. Shirts should not display cleavage or midriffs. Tank tops are not permitted. Pants must be worn at the waist. Please encourage your child to dress in layers. Students are not allowed to wear coats during the school day. They may wear hoodies (without the hoods on their heads while in the building) or other fleece-type jackets. If in doubt, please ask your child to take the garment to an administrator for clarification. Remind your child to take hats and other headwear off before entering the building. Students may carry their P.E. clothes in drawstring bags but may not use the drawstring bags as purses or bookbags during the school day.
Attendance
Parents/Guardians please ensure that your student reports to school everyday. When a student misses school, they miss so much instruction and we miss them so much! If a student must be absent for any reason please email the school the students absence not, send it with them when they return, or call the school and ask to speak with our attendance clerk. Please send all attendance notes through the Tarrant parent square address.
Saturday Success Academy
If your student(s) were invited to participate in Saturday Success Academy please ensure that they are present every Saturday. This is an opportunity to provide them with additional support in Reading, Math and Science to prepare them for SOL testing. For students that have struggled with attendance and missing instruction, Saturday Success Academy will assist in the process of getting them caught up on skills they have missed.
Remediation
Remediation is taking place during students PE/Elective Blocks.
Basketball
The last game of the season will be tomorrow, April 29th at Boo Williams. Playoffs will start Wednesday.

Also, be on the lookout for Expedited Retake letters. This letter will allow for students to retake their SOL if they fall in between 375-399 the first time they take their SOL test.
Continue to remind your students of the importance of being intentional about their school work.
Lastly, they should come to school every day with their Chromebooks fully charged and ready to learn.
