New Bridge ~ Ensuring all students achieve academic excellence through relevant learning in Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math!
Happy New Year to all of you! We've all had a wonderful holiday break and are ready to get back to the important work of educating your amazing children! We have now completed our first 4 months of the school year. It's hard to believe it is January, and we still have much to accomplish in the remaining months of school. I'd like to start off by giving a huge shout out to New Bridge's amazing staff of teachers and support professionals and to our community partners. They give 100% every day because they are passionate about the success and well-being of our students. We have had some incredible learning experiences so far this year, and I hope you've been able to experience that in your family as well. I invite you to join me in recommitting to investing our time and energies into making the 2019-20 school year a year of learning and growth for every New Bridge Knight. Thank you for your continued support!

Did you know?
Knight BINGO Celebrations - Do you have a "Noble Knight?"
What is it?
Anyways, we have a blast celebrating the good choices our students make. Every student has multiple opportunities to receive a ticket. Thousands are given each month! Extra thanks goes to our counselor, Mrs. Welch, and our School Community Coordinator, Mrs. Voraotsady, for getting it set up each month and our peer leaders (see below) for running our drawing each morning! Ask your student how they earn their Noble Knight tickets, and then celebrate their great choices with them!

Parent Communication

- Seesaw - If you have not signed up for the Seesaw app and connected with your child's teacher, please set a goal to do so. Contact your child's teacher for more information.
- Notes Home - Make a habit of asking your child for notes that have been sent home. Check that backpack regularly. Most notes that go home in paper format are also posted on Seesaw.
- Peachjar - Are you getting the Peachjar flyers? Check the school website at https://newbridge.ogdensd.org/ for community events happening that impact our students. Click on the parent tab and look for the Peachjar logo on the right side of the page.

- Instagram - If you haven't noticed, we have the MOST amazing library clerks ever! Follow New Bridge Library on Instagram!
