Husky Happenings
May 2021
A Message from the NHS PTSA Executive Board:
Many thanks to the staff, students, and families who supported North High School PTSA this year! While our activities and outreach have looked very different this year, we were able to maintain a functional PTSA unit to support our students and staff when accommodations could be made to safely adapt our activities. None of it would have been possible without the ongoing support and commitment to our PTSA by our Husky family.
Looking forward, each of our officers will continue to serve PTSA next year to complete the two year term defined by our bylaws. We look forward to resuming PTSA activities that were successful for our Husky family in the past; and we encourage all Husky families to get involved with PTSA to help us rebuild a thriving support system for our students and staff. In August, when the PTSA information passes through your hands, remember that WE need your support; “we” indirectly refers to every Husky student and staff member. There are truly endless options for supporting our Huskies: it could mean you purchase a mum, become a member, send a donation, help with a committee, or serve as a chairperson. Next year will mark a time of profound need to reconnect and engage with our school family.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us with questions or concerns.

COVID-19 Update
In his weekly update on 3/31/2021, Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb clarified that schools throughout the state will continue to follow the mask mandate. All EVSC school facilities and offices will maintain the mitigation strategies currently in place through the end of this school year. These have proven to be effective during the pandemic, and have allowed us to offer continuous, in-person instruction since opening schools in August. We continue to express gratitude to our students, employees and families for their dedication and cooperation while dealing with the uncertainties of Covid-19. As a reminder, all Indiana residents 16 years and older are now eligible for the vaccine. To register, go to ourshot.in.gov.North High School’s 3D Art Students who received recognition and awards for their artwork in North’s District Art Show are shown below.
