Principal’s Newsletter Northeast High School

March/April 2014

Dear Northeast Parents,

Eagles are off to a great start for the new semester. You will know exactly how well your Eagle is doing when Interim Reports come home with your student on March 1 (please contact the main office if you need to be “plugged in” to your student’s grades through Parent Connect).

I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the 79 students who achieved perfect attendance for the 1st semester, and the 92 students who had perfect attendance for the 2nd marking period. This achievement shows dedication and perseverance, and these students are to be commended for this achievement. What our students are doing once inside their classrooms is also spectacular. The Superintendent’s Honor Roll was achieved by 4 students, 45 students made the Principal’s Honor Roll, while 549 students made Honor Roll. Congratulations to these students whose hard work is paying great dividends as they march toward graduation.

If you are the parent of a senior, this is the time of year to keep checking with your student to make sure they are finishing strong and taking care of all their senior business as their graduation date of May 30th begins to draw near. Seniors, STAY THE COURSE. Be sure that you complete, fully and completely, your work as a Northeast Eagle. We look forward to your ceremony being a special one as you will be the first class to graduate at our new facility here at Northeast High School.

Parents of our underclassman, your students are meeting with their counselors to finalize their course selection sheets and choose courses that will get them to their post-secondary opportunity. Soon, your student will bring home their course verification sheet for you to sign. Please be sure to review the course verification sheet with your student and make changes that you feel are necessary. This will be the last opportunity to change courses for next year.

Finally, please check out our website at northeasthigh.org for information, events, and aspects of student life here at the Home of the Eagle.

We are Northeast,

Jason T. Williams Principal

There will be plenty of time for questions.

“There’s an app for that!” AACPS students using mobile devices are finding this advertising slogan to be true. Students are finding that apps are incredible learning (and teaching) tools for conducting research, accessing online tutors, reinforcing concepts and skills, extending and deepening learning, and so much more. This session will give you a preview of how mobile devices are being used in instruction. The world is now in the students’ hands.
