***Student Led Conferences are coming up on Monday, April 19th! Students are working to prepare their end of the year presentations for their parents showcasing their pandemic progress and grit. Forecasting for next year will also be a part of this event and students are encouraged to think about how to make the best use of their time in high school to prepare for their future. Thinking ahead can save time and money down the road! We look forward to collaborating with you for your student’s success and working through the challenges this year has presented!
***State Testing is coming up soon for all of our juniors. They will be taking the state tests for English, Math, and Science during the months of April & May. All juniors are required to participate unless an opt-out form is turned into either Carla in the front office or Esther (counselor/testing coordinator) by April 19th. Here is the link to the opt out form: State testing Opt-Out Opt-Out Spanish
Students who are currently distance only will need to schedule a time with Esther to come in and take their tests. Each test is approximately 1-1 ½ hours long and can be done on multiple days. Please contact her at esthert@nknsd.org to reserve a time. Students who are concerned about Covid safety may test in a secure, sanitized environment by themselves if arranged in advance, otherwise testing will occur in a small group setting with safety protocols in place.
Note from Margaret & Ashley
Did you know that April is Stress Awareness Month? We all experience stress – yet we may experience it in very different ways. Because of this, there is no single definition for stress, but the American Institute of Stress states the most common explanation is a “physical, mental, or emotional strain or tension.”
Here are 10 Tips for Minimizing School Stress
1. Get organized. This can include your homework environment, locker, books, binders/folders,
and bag. If it helps, make a to-do list that breaks down complex projects or long homework
assignments.
2. Notice your breathing at school, during after-school activities, and while you do homework.
You can always count breaths—“breathing in one, breathing out one”— to calm yourself and
slow a rushed or anxious breathing pace.
3. Try not to worry about things that are out of your control or haven’t happened yet. For
example, after you take a test, worrying about what grade you might get isn’t going to change
your actual test grade.
4. Complete one thing at a time instead of doing parts of many things at one time.
5. Mix things that you enjoy into many hours of work. This might include taking short breaks
and stopping to “smell the roses.”
6. Reduce self-pressure and exaggerated or unrealistic expectations.
7. Watch when you jump onto the train of thoughts, and jump off.
8. Appreciate who you are.
9. Be open to new experiences and see the same things with fresh eyes.
10. Use mindfulness when you do your homework or take tests.

It is time to start the third challenge for the year -
The Flex Challenge (flexible articulated objects)
The challenge this month is to create a flexible object that can move and shift and change. Think interlocking chains - a segmented fish or tentacle that can move. This is called articulation- and 3D designs can move and change!
Each item will need to be spaced from it’s neighbor a little bit (.1 - .2 of a millimeter.)- but the whole unit should be printed as one piece.
See these thingiverse creations for inspiration!

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2814495
You need to design the part or parts completely yourself.
You have to share your Onshape Document with kathrynh@nknsd.org to enter.
If your design is difficult to understand, you should create an assembly to show how the different parts fit together.
Use commenting to explain your design, and/or be prepared to explain it.
The competition will close on Friday, April 30th at 8PM Pacific time.
The first prize is a RC Race Car - you build yourself
One second place prize: The Tumbling Hedgehog - Robotic Pet
One third Place Prize: A tabletop crab robot
No prize substitutions allowed - though the first place and second place winners can choose any of the three prizes they want from those available!

Lunch Program & Accounts
The school cafeteria has worked tirelessly to continue to provide nutritional meals (both breakfast and lunch) to our students in this very difficult time. Meals can be picked up at the school cafeteria doors by the middle school flagpole each day from 11am to 12:30pm Monday through Friday. Meals are also being transported, with the assistance of First Student Transportation, to central locations throughout the district. If you would like to access the meals provided by the school please contact Ashley Arthur at the District Office (ashleya@nknsd.org) for information on the drop off times and locations or access the most up to date schedule at the district website at

If someone besides a parent or guardian will be picking up meals for your children, you will need to fill out a permission slip. One can be obtained by emailing Ashley Arthur at the district office at (ashleya@nknsd.org).
