I hope you all had a great holiday break. We are nearing the end of the second quarter already so don't forget to check your child's grades in Infinite Campus. We are going to have a virtual parent meeting on Thursday, January 19 at 6:30 pm. I have a few other updates for you which I will discuss below.
Have a great afternoon!

Vaping Diversion Program
Northbridge Middle School offers a Vaping Diversion Program for students who are involved in vaping. Parents and Guardians may refer their students to the program. The program is managed by Lori Johnson, the School Nurse Leader. Students who are referred to the program participate in a 5 week program involving reading 2 articles and completing an online video program developed by the MD Anderson Cancer Center to teach adolescents about the dangers of vaping. The students meet with the nurse once a week. At the end of the program, students will write a 1 page essay on the dangers of vaping and develop a written plan to quit vaping. If you are concerned about your student and vaping, please contact Mrs. Johnson at ljohnson@nps.org or call her at 508-234-6221, ext 5110.
Names of students referred to the program by parents/guardians will be kept confidential and no disciplinary action will be involved because of participation in the program.
