A brief message from our Principal
Week 4 begins tomorrow :)
Good afternoon RAMily,
Although last week was extremely busy, this week will be even more jammed packed with events. Starting our week we will have NWEA testing for our 9th and 10th students, which will alter our daily schedule for the whole school. Included in this newsletter is the schedule we will follow on Tuesday and Wednesday. Students will not be permitted to have their cell phones during their testing sessions, so please have a conversation with them regarding this; and plan accordingly. Our testing sessions will held over two days and should last no longer than 90 minutes.
We will also have our first senior meeting on Monday at 10am for all graduating seniors, and a Senior Parent Night Meeting on Wednesday from 6:00pm-7:30pm. Additionally, Herf Jones will be on campus for seniors to place their first graduation orders from 4:30pm-6:30pm.
This past Friday we implemented the clear bag policy for extra-curricular athletic events. This weeks home game against High Point Central will be the first time NEHS will have body scanners, and additional safety measures in place for entry into events. Please familiarize yourself with the below information in order to prepare for entry. This change is one of several updates being made as the district reviews safety procedures on its campuses. We thank you for your assistance in keeping our venues safe and welcoming for all guests.
Lastly, we will distribute progress reports this week on Tuesday. Please make sure you have already set up your Power Parent account so you are able to monitor your students progress throughout the year, and not have to wait until progress reports or report cards to know how your students are progressing. Know that if you have any questions/concerns our Northeast High staff is available by phone or email to assist. Please allow a 24-48 hour response time on all emails and phone calls. It is important that parents and guardians partner with Northeast High School staff quickly, so that we can ensure a plan is in place for all of our scholars to be successful.
I look forward to continuing to meet with students, parents, and community members. Please know that I am only a phone call away, and for immediate needs you may stop by the school.
Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
KaTrinka Brown, Ed.S.
Proud Principal

Urgent: In-School Vaccination Clinic Opportunity (Seniors)
As you know, students entering Kindergarten, 7th grade, and 12th grade are required to show proof of immunization within the first 30 days of the first date of attendance of school. After those 30 days, students may be excluded from school until proof is shown. To prevent any students from being excluded from school, we have partnered with GCDPH to establish in-school vaccination clinics at the below ten schools across the district:
- Mendenhall Middle
- Page High
- Jamestown Middle
- Ragsdale High
- Academy at Lincoln
- Dudley High
- Ferndale Middle
- High Point Central
- Northeast Middle
- Northeast High
IMMEDIATE NEXT STEPS
Parents need to complete the form requesting students to receive their vaccination at school using this link: Immunization Permission Form Link HERE. It is imperative that this is done as soon as possible to ensure that GCDPH can prepare to have everything needed (paperwork, vaccine, staff) for the clinic. The link will lock Tuesday, September 27th @ 9am.
Below is the Clinic Schedule:
- Mendenhall Middle 9-11: 30 and Page High 1-4 – Wednesday, 9/28
- Jamestown Middle 9 – 11:30 and Ragsdale High 1-4 – Thursday, 9/29
- Academy at Lincoln 9 – 11: 30 and Dudley High 1-4 – Friday, 9/30
- Ferndale Middle 9-11:30 and High Point Central High 1-4 – Monday, 10/3
- Northeast Middle 9-11:30 and Northeast High 1-4 – Tuesday, 10/4
If parents have questions related to Fee of vaccination – please call 336-641-4708.
Other vaccination questions should be referred to our school nurse.

Effective 9/23/22 GCS Implemented a Clear Bag Policy for all Athletics Events
Why did GCS implement this procedure?
The safety of our students, staff, and fans is a top priority. Guilford County Schools is constantly enhancing emergency and safety protocols through ongoing collaboration and partnership with law enforcement agencies, community partners and other urban school districts.
What types of bags are allowed?
You are permitted to bring:
Clear plastic or vinyl bags that are no larger than 12” x 6” x 12”
One gallon-sized clear plastic storage bag
Small, clutch bags that are no larger than 4.5” x 6.5”
What types of bags are not allowed?
You are NOT permitted to bring:
Purses larger than a clutch bag
Briefcases
Backpacks
Fanny Packs
Cinch/Drawstring bags
Luggage
Computer/Camera Bags
Are all non-clear bags and purses prohibited?
No, medical bags, as well as diaper bags with an infant/toddler present, are allowed but are subject to inspection at the entrance. Small clutch purses, with or without a handle or strap, are also permitted and subject to inspection.
How many bags can each person bring into the athletic venue?
One large clear bag – either a one-gallon zip style bag or a 12" by 6" by 12" clear bag – plus a small purse-type clutch. The larger clear bag must be a standard 12" by 6" by 12" made of clear PVC vinyl and is easily searched. The one-gallon zip-style bag is readily available and easily inspected. The small clutch allows privacy for small personal items and is easily searched.
Can fans carry cameras and other devices separately from what they put in a clear bag?
Yes, a camera and other devices can be carried into the venue if they are not in their own bag. This is not a restriction on items that visitors have previously been able to bring into the stadium. It is only a restriction on the type of container used to carry items.
What happens if a person shows up at a venue with a bag that is not permitted?
Fans carrying bags that do not meet the criteria will be turned away from the venue at or near the gates. They will have the opportunity to return prohibited items to their car.
Is this procedure just for certain athletic events?
No, clear bags and the noted exceptions will be required at all GCS athletic events.
Will the media be allowed to bring bags into the venue?
Yes, appropriately credentialed members of the media will be allowed to bring bags into the venue.

Our schedule has been modified (listed below) to include Homeroom on Tuesday and Wednesday for 90 minutes.
