NMS Class of 2022
Important Information for 8th Grade Parents and Students
Last Day of School at Northwood...How can it be?
Due to the cold days this past winter the last day of school for 8th-grade students will be Monday, May 23. Eighth-grade students should not report to school on Tuesday, May 24, which is a half day attendance day for our 6th and 7th graders.
8th Grade Fee Balance
Any eighth grade student who owes registration fee(s), school fee(s), lost book(s), lock(s), etc. should pay those fees by Monday, May 9 in order for your child to participate in the end of the year eighth grade activities. Balance statements were sent home with third-quarter report cards. They also can be found online in the PowerSchool Parent Portal. Please contact the school office with questions about your fees..
8th Grade Dance
We ask that students “dress-up” for this dance, but the dance should not be thought of as a prom. Tuxedos and formal dresses are not appropriate.
Students are able to bring their phones to take pictures. We discourage students from having a “date” for the dance; however, we encourage all 8th-grade students to attend.
Students must be in school the entire day on this day to attend the dance in the evening.
Dance invitations will be coming home with your student soon!
8th Grade Promotion
Our 8th-grade Promotion Ceremony will take place at 7:00 p.m. on the evening of Monday, May 23, 2022. The ceremony will take place in the stadium at Woodstock North High School. Gates will open at 6:30 p.m. In the event of inclement weather, the ceremony will be moved into the Main Gym at WNHS. The ceremony usually lasts approximately one hour. Please use the same attire as specified for the eighth grade dance above.
We ask that you sit in the stadium (first come, first serve). Limited seating will be available for adults who find it difficult to use the bleachers, or to those who may need special accommodations. We ask that the audience remains seated until the end of the event and all students have been recognized.
The Northwood staff is looking forward to sharing this special event with our eighth grade students and their families!
8th Grade Memories
Hello NMS 8th graders! We are looking to have our 8th graders be a part of our digital program for our promotion ceremony. We are requesting that our 8th grade students share a short 15 - 30 second video clip of their favorite memory of Northwood or their 8th grade class. Videos are due by 5 pm on Sunday, May 15.
