He will be speaking at the high school at 3:00 pm and then at the Bedford Public Library at 7pm. The 3pm event will take place in Mr. Earl's classroom (G4). All interested are welcome to attend.
M-step testing begins next week
8th Grade testing is April 11-12, April 25-26 and April 28th
6th Grade testing is May 1, and May 3-4
7th grade testing is May 9, May 11, and May 16-17
Be sure your student gets a good night’s sleep and eats a hearty breakfast so they are ready to do their best! Please help them to make sure their chromebook is charged everyday and that they have a pair of earbuds for the listening portion of the test. Also, NO electronic devices are allowed in the testing area. This includes cell phones, Apple watches and or any other device. Any disruption can void the test of everyone in the room so please make sure devices are powered off and in their locker or left home.
DROP OFF ITEMS
Students, if your parents drop off items for you during the day, they will be held at the front door with our door monitor. Students will only be called down during class change so as not to interrupt class time. Please listen to announcements during the class changes for your name. At that time, you may pick up your items from the door monitor.YOUNG WRITER'S DAY
The Junior High will be holding a Young Writer's Day later this school year. This event celebrates creative writing and allows students to share and develop an original work of fiction in a safe and structured environment. This is open to all grade levels. If you are interested, pick up a form from Mrs. Matlow in room 35 or Mr. Lorenz in room 38.
AUTISM AWARENESS MONTH
We will be having daily announcements with facts about Autism.
Monday, April 10 through Wednesday, April 13, NJHS will be hosting Penny Wars to raise money for Autism Awareness. Bring any change you have and support your lunch hour.
BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION
Box Top collections !! This year we will be collecting box tops and having a friendly competition between home rooms. This is an easy way to fund raise for the extra things our classrooms my need throughout the year. Just ask your students and parents to clip and save. Deposit them in the collection boxes with your homeroom name on them (or place in Mrs. Nimigean's mailbox in the high school or Mr. Muck's mailbox in the junior high).We will collect for 3 months for each giveaway.Winners will be awarded the first of December, March and June (top collector in each building). Make sure you get them turned in for a homeroom treat!
