Warhawk Weekly August 29, 2020
It's Groovy to Be a Warhawk!
The Hall Way...
Hello Northwood families!
We have just completed our second week of the school year and our students and staff are off to an amazing start. All of our classes have met four or five times with our A/B schedule and our first asynchronous Friday gave students a chance to get to know each other and build community in their PRIDE groups. Friday also provided teachers time to meet with students who need support. Students were assigned skill lessons in the core subjects, so please check with them to make sure they have completed them. The student newsletter for our first Asynchronous Friday has been was viewed almost 2000 times! We hope that helped guide them through the day.
Thank you for your support of our students and staff as they continue to build relationships and work together on curriculum. Our teachers have been planning lessons to help them interact with each other and practice and demonstrate their understanding. Student attendance in all of their classes is crucial to their learning and for them to work with their teachers. It also is required just as it would be if we were in the building. Please continue to work with your student to join class on time and be an active participant in class throughout the class period.
Please never hesitate to reach out if you need help with anything. Warhawks take care of each other and we are here to work together and support each other. Have a wonderful weekend and let's have another Groovy week next week!

Staying Connected: Parent Portal
Letters with login information and instructions for the Parent Portal were mailed home on Friday, so they should arrive Monday or Tuesday.
- You will be able to check your child’s academic progress and grades, as well as attendance, school fees, etc. on the District 200 Parent Portal (formerly called Home Access).
- Please note that your student will also have their own login to check their grades and their teachers will guide them on how to access the system.
