Hello Trailblazer Families!  

We want to encourage you to join our Family Association.  Our next meetings are listed below. We hope you can join us!

Friday, 3 at 9:30 am – 10:30 am 

 

Attendance Competition: 

The last quarter of the 23-24 SY is in full swing, and the end of the year is jam-packed with activities!  To incentivize student attendance, North Central Secondary will conduct an end-of-year student attendance contest! 

Each week, we will raffle a smart TV for perfect attendance. To enter the weekly raffle for a smart TV, students must be present Monday-Friday of the previous week. Students who earn an entry in the weekly raffle will also earn an entry towards the Grand Prize Raffle of a Nintendo Switch. 

Two grand prize winners will be selected to win a Nintendo Switch (1 for MS and 1 for HS). The Grand Prize Raffle will take place on Thursday, May 30th. 

*Please note, students must be present to claim prizes. If a student is not present at the time of the raffle, we will redraw to select another winner.

We have begun to strictly enforce our uniform policy this week until the end of the year.  

Students not in the uniform outlined below must trade in their phone in exchange for a uniform article of clothing.  If the student refuses to change or the uniform infraction cannot be fixed, parents will be called and will be required to bring their student the appropriate school uniform.

Notas Familiares

¡Hola familias Trailblazer!

Concurso de Asistencia: 

El último trimestre del año escolar 23-24 está en pleno apogeo, ¡y el fin de año está repleto de actividades!  Para incentivar la asistencia de los estudiantes, North Central Secondary llevará a cabo un concurso de asistencia de estudiantes de fin de año. 

Cada semana, sortearemos un televisor inteligente para una asistencia perfecta. Para participar en el sorteo semanal de un televisor inteligente, los estudiantes deben estar presentes de lunes a viernes de la semana anterior. Los estudiantes que ganen una entrada en la rifa semanal también ganarán una entrada para la rifa del gran premio de una Nintendo Switch. 

Se seleccionarán dos ganadores del gran premio para ganar una Nintendo Switch (1 para MS y 1 para HS). La Rifa del Gran Premio se llevará a cabo el jueves 30 de mayo.

 * Tenga en cuenta que los estudiantes deben estar presentes para reclamar los premios. Si un estudiante no está presente en el momento de la rifa, volveremos a sortear para seleccionar otro ganador. 

Política de uniforme de la escuela   

Hemos comenzado a hacer cumplir estrictamente nuestra política de uniformes esta semana hasta fin de año.   

Los estudiantes que no usen el uniforme que se describe a continuación deben cambiar su teléfono por una prenda de vestir del uniforme. Si el estudiante se niega a cambiarse o la infracción del uniforme no se puede corregir, se llamará a los padres y se les pedirá que le traigan al estudiante el uniforme escolar apropiado.  

Si su estudiante no puede cumplir con la política de uniforme debido a circunstancias atenuantes, comuníquese con la oficina principal para obtener ayuda.
