November 2025

Dear JH & HS Tiger Families: 

We are well into our school year and the second nine weeks of school. In addition to the fantastic academic curriculum your student is receiving there have been some great activities for your child to engage in as well. Field trips have been provided to expand and enhance your child's learning experience. 

The NF Volleyball team and Boy's Soccer Team wrapped up an excellent season. The hard work and dedication from our football team, cross country, golf and girl's soccer team is to be commended, as well. Ensure you speak with your child about basketball and chess opportunities during the winter months. 

The NHS has worked to bring the student body a host of events too, including Red Ribbon Week and our Student Council hosted a great Halloween Contest and is bringing back the Powder Puff Game in addition to many other fun activities.  

To stay abreast of your child's academic progress, please ensure you have access to Progressbook and plan to attend the upcoming Parent/Teacher Conferences on November 25th from 3-8pm. Please reach out to your child's first period teacher to gain Progressbook access and contact the main office to schedule an appointment on that night and.
