August 2010

 

 

The 2010/2011 school year is almost upon us. As we prepare for the opening of school, here are some important notes.

 

The first day of school for students will be Thursday, September 2. Friday, September 3, will be a shortened day with dismissal at 11:57 am.

 

Later this month, you will receive a mailing which will include information and forms pertaining to the opening of school. To give you a sense of the timing for a few key items:

 

• Detailed schedule information will be issued the first day of school.

• Transportation arrangements will be mailed directly to your home toward the end of August, under separate cover.

• A recommended supply list and a copy of the school district’s calendar for 2010/2011 are posted to our website, www.nburlington.com, Middle School, Important Information.

• If your son/daughter wishes to participate in a fall sport, he or she must turn in a sports physical packet by August 30. The forms are available on our website under Middle School, Athletics and in the Main Office. It is strongly recommended that the paperwork be completed and submitted to the school prior to the start of the school year so that your student is cleared to participate when practices begin on or about September 7.

 

We invite any transferring student and his/her family who registered after June 1, 2010 to join us for a tour of the building on Wednesday, August 25 at 2:00 pm. Assistant Principal, Rosetta Treece, will be your guide. Please plan for a one hour visit. All 7th grade students will have a more extensive orientation/tour on opening day.

 

On Wednesday, September 8, we will present an Activity Fair during the school day which will give each student an opportunity to learn about extra curricular clubs, service organizations and other activities. Students are encouraged to become an important part of our school community by participating in our extensive activities program.

 

Enjoy the remainder of the summer and we will see you on September 2.
