Northpointe Newsflash
February 28 - March 4, 2022
Northpointe Intermediate School
Good luck to our students who are competing at DI today! We are all cheering you on!
This week we will be focusing on the Great Expectations Life Principle of Integrity: acting according to a sense of right and wrong. Below is a guide for you to discuss Integrity with your student at home this week:
- Integrity is related to what other Life Principles? Do other words give you a better understanding of the meaning of integrity?
- If your friends were asked to describe you in 5 words, would they say you show integrity?
- What can you do to improve your integrity?

Attendance Matters: Consistent attendance and being on time is one of the keys to academic success.
Documentation after an Absence
When a student is absent from school, the student—upon arrival or return to school—must bring a doctor note or note signed by the parent that describes the reason for the absence. The note must be turned in within 3 days of the student’s return to school.
If absences become excessive, the student may be required to submit a doctor’s note verifying illness for the absences to be excused.
The campus will document in its attendance records whether the absence is excused or unexcused.
Students please bring your notes to the front office upon your return to school.
