Eagles Family Newsletter
Monday, April 19, 2021
Dear Eagle Families,
I am excited to announce that we will be returning to school in a hybrid model starting April 26th. It has been a long and tumultuous journey, but our staff are all ready to welcome our students back. If you haven't done so please reach out to our offices to select which cohort you would like your student to be in.
We encourage you to look through each edition, where you will find the most up-to-date information regarding school events, news and important information regarding your student's high school experience. I would love to hear your feedback on other information you would like to read about in the newsletter. Email me at framirez@nlmusd.k12.ca.us with any suggestions. Si prefiere, puede cambiar el idioma de este boletín al español, a la mano derecha, donde dice "Translate Newsletter."
Sincerely,
Mr. F. Ramirez
