NP3 Announcements Mateys!
For Teachers Only:
Off Campus: Anzelc, Edwards, McGuire and Silas will be out at a symposium for "Leader In Me" Tues, Wed, and Thur this week.
Give One To Get One: Be prepared to give up a prep week of Feb 22 to learn from your colleagues!
Rainy Day: Rainy day schedule is as needed, it will not be scheduled. You will be notified if students need to be inside or not via email prior to any snack or lunch break. At that time teachers will communicate the expectations to students. The email re: room availability is something available to students at a minimum, plus any additional rooms available moment of. Thank you for your cooperation and flexibility!
Infinite Campus: Infinite issues take a rather long time to resolve most of the time; with this in mind, please be sure you practice entering of scores and that they appear appropriately so any issues can be taken care of now, rather than report card week. Report any issues to Anzelc! Thank you for your "infinite" patience!
Students Moving Classes: Infinite Campus does not save scores/grades for a student that moves between classes. This means that if a student is to be moved, you will be notified (most likely by a counselor or Sharon Maccini), and you will need to print whatever information is needed for documented scores in the new class.
CELDT FORMS: Please turn them in this week. They are due now.
6th Celebration: The next one is 2/19.

Pennies for Patients: NP3 Advisories will be collecting money for our annual drive Feb 2-Mar 2. The goal is to raise over $2000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and remain among the highest contributing middle schools in Sacramento. Last year our top Advisory raised $382 and as a site we raised over $1000! We want to keep that momentum going! Each Advisory will have their own goal and flyers are being sent home. Students can collect spare change in the mini boxes provided in Advisory and easily transport money between home and school. Donations can be cash, check, or coins. The Advisory that raises the most money will win a pizza party.
