Principal's Greeting
Happy Friday Norris Staff!
What an awesome (and exhausting!) week! There was a lot of anticipation around our new testing structure, and it went amazing. It really takes a team effort to make something that huge go so well, and everyone did their part. We still have our 6th graders left to test on April 16 and 17, and want them to rock NSCAS!!
Next week we are back to the normal grind with a faculty workshop Monday, and team VILS PD Tuesday. Our spring sports also kick off competition, so please check out the schedule and try and catch our kids competing.
Staff Appreciation Week is coming up (May 6-10) so Mrs. Greco and I are working out the fine details. Maybe this could be part of the gifts? :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_PirOBhnTQ
Have a great weekend!
Dr. Carr

Ahhhh, Spring
Student Appreciation Week
Final Thought
We know this. We believe in it. We wouldn't be here if we didn't. Sometimes, we just need a reminder. The kids who need the most love show it in the toughest ways. Don't lose sight of "your why." They are why were are here, so let's give them our all.
