Hey all, see the link for NSO News Oct 28-Nov 16 (Incudes detailed information regarding Post-Secondary Career Fairs, open house’s, upcoming events, parent & student resources & opportunities).
Monday, October 28 marks instructional day #39 of 84, putting us at 46% of the way through Semester 1. With only two weeks until the November break, our students have been making incredible progress, and their hard work is evident each day. This milestone is a perfect time to review goals, celebrate accomplishments, and refocus on areas for growth as we move forward. As always, our commitment to the motto “small steps are still progress” keeps us motivated as we continue to support your students' journey.
Thank you for your partnership, enthusiasm, and trust in Next Step. Let's make the remainder of Semester 1 as successful as the start has been! We hope to see students participate in or support our Halloween activities in whatever way is meaningful for you.
