A quick reminder for NEHS families: teachers update gradebooks at least every two weeks. 

We encourage families to check Canvas regularly to stay informed about assignments, due dates, class updates, and student progress.

Checking in together is a great way to catch missing work early and help students stay on track. ❤️💛

We had some questions last week about what "Flex Advisory" means. During some weeks we have Advisory periods, and students go to their assigned Advisory class. These are typically used to disseminate information to all students about a specific topic, such as schedule forecasting. 

During other weeks we have Flex Advisory periods, which are designed to help students that need to make up a test or get extra help from a specific teacher have focused time to do so. These periods are designed to be during the school day to increase student participation and ensure that they are accessible to all students. Teachers will identify specific students that they would like to see in their classes during this time, but students can also sign up to go to class with a specific teacher.

Students who do not need to use the time to make up work are given the time to read.

We’re excited to celebrate our September IB Learner Spotlight recipients!

👏 Devin Beck & Shira Chadwin-Piltz 👏

Both students were recognized for demonstrating this month’s IB Learner Profile trait: Open-Minded — showing a willingness to consider different perspectives, experiences, and ideas.

Congratulations, Devin and Shira! Thank you for helping make North a community where we can learn from and with one another. ❤️🤍

Every year, North Eugene students have been awarded the Al Forthan Scholarship, and we want to make sure eligible students know about this opportunity.

This scholarship is for students who have been raised by a parent or guardian who experienced addiction, or who have personally experienced addiction and are now in recovery.

The application is open now and closes in January.

If you know a student who may be eligible, please share this opportunity with them. We are also happy to help students through the application process if they need support getting started or completing their application.
