Northpointe Intermediate School
It's hard to believe we are about to begin the final week before the end of the semester. Thank you to our families, students, staff, and community for a great first half of the school year!
**We will have early dismissal on Friday, December 17th. Dismissal will begin at 11:55.**
Information regarding Christmas Parties on Friday, December 17th was sent out this past week. If you would like to attend your student's Christmas Party on that day, please complete the Fast Pass Form prior to Wednesday, Dec. 15th.
This week we will be focusing on the Great Expectations Life Principle of Forgiveness: act of forgiving for an offense. Below is a guide for discussing Forgiveness with your student this week.
- Why is it important to forgive others?
- Have you ever done something to a friend or family member that you needed to be forgiven for?
- How does it feel to give and receive forgiveness?
- It is said that the hardest person to forgive is ourselves. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
