Principal's Update
Hello Wolfpack,
What a great week! Our seniors are leading our school in purposeful ways. They are following safety precautions and still enjoying senior moments. I am grateful for this respectful, inclusive group of students. I was able to visit twenty classes this week. I assure you; your student is glad to be here. This is evident in engagement in class discussions, group work, and homework. Tonight, NC plays the first football game of the season – an exciting milestone. I look forward to more events for our community.

Meet the Counseling Team
We are well underway into the school year! Here is your North Central counseling team. Look for us in the hallways and say hello. We have had many students coming to the student office for schedule changes. We are now two weeks into school, and no longer doing schedule changes. If you have any schedule questions, please email your counselor about your specific concern.

Counseling Corner - Graduation Pathways
The counselors are busy at work making sure all students have the exact classes they need to get to an on time graduation! Did you know that there are specific state requirements students must meet to graduate with a Washington state diploma? Students must have 24 credits in specific content areas, complete a high school and beyond plan, and have a completed career pathway. Pathways are the newest piece of the puzzle for the class of 2022 and beyond. You can learn more about pathways HERE. The counselors will be supporting your student all four years in the journey toward graduation. The more you know, the better you can help prepare your student for success!

Spectator Expectations
Attendees who forget a mask will be provided one at the ticket table. If there are consistent problems with wearing a mask over the nose and mouth, individual spectators may be asked to leave or the game may need to be delayed or cancelled. Please work with school staff to support our teams and make sure they can play a full season this year. If you have a concern about mask wearing, reach out to school administration at any time.
