NSO Weekly October 30-November 11

Hey all, please see the link for the NSO Weekly Oct 30-Nov 11 2023-24 Next Step Motto: Small steps are still progress!

We hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Last week prior to November break, no school from November 4-12. Monday is Instructional day #40 of 85 or 47% of the way through semester 1, for non-diploma courses. We appreciate the opportunity to engage, interact, and support all families. Our Next Step vision is to create a community of learners who embody the virtues of acceptance, flexibility, individualization, respect, and responsibility. We are excited you are part of our alternative learning environment!

On Friday, November 3 we will be conducting Remembrance Services from 10:45-11:15 a.m. at each campus location. All students and staff on site will take part in our ceremony to commemorate and pause in a silent moment of remembrance for the men and women who have served and continue to serve our country during times of war, conflict, and peace.
