Changes to North Early Release Days and Bell Schedules
Happy Summer North Stars!
We are excited to start the 2023-24 school year in just a few weeks, and have some exciting updates to share with you as we approach the start of the school year.
Last year, Superintendent Dr. Paul Gordon inspired our school community to Be Here, Be You, Belong.
Research is clear that students who are present in school perform better and can fully access everything a comprehensive high school has to offer. Student presence in our classrooms allows them to fully access their education and support from our staff of educators who are eager to improve the outcomes for our students. Partnership with families is a critical component to creating positive student attendance patterns.
In an effort to collectively support our students more effectively, we will be having an early release schedule every week on Wednesday. During the early release time, our educators will be able to review evidence of student learning in a more timely manner to be more responsive to student needs. This change is in alignment with the newly-adopted District 303 Strategic Plan related to our Core Values (Belonging, Perseverance, Achievement), Strategic Priorities (Effective Collaboration, Instructional Coherence), Success Indicators (Attendance, Behavior, Content), and Theory of Action. We have adjusted our bell schedule to include additional time in every class period, with the school day now ending at 2:29 pm. Please visit our website with updated bell schedules.
We sincerely appreciate the support of our families and look forward to another successful school year.
Sincerely,
Shanna Lewis
