Principal’s Newsletter
Northeast High School
May/June 2015
Dear Northeast Parents,
Our students are finally getting a chance to enjoy the spring like weather here at the Home of the
Eagle. Athletes are finally competing on our athletic fields and not having their games and practices
cancelled due to foul weather. Students are also getting a chance to enjoy their lunch and Independence
outdoors on a consistent basis.
Along with the advent of spring, we are also looking ahead to the next phase of our students’
academic careers. This means preparing the seniors for their last marking period of high school. The
counselors are continuing the process of meeting with each of the senior students on their caseload to
finalize last-minute college and scholarship applications, credit counts, and current grades in required
courses. Seniors, be sure to keep “the end in mind” and remember our numerous conversations about
finishing your time at Northeast High School strong. Parents of seniors, please continue to talk to your
student about the completion of their graduation requirements. Wherever you hear the reply, “I don’t
know,” please do not hesitate to contact our counseling office for pertinent information. Also seniors, one
final note: I remind you weekly on the morning announcements to adhere to the Anne Arundel County
Public School’s alcohol and controlled dangerous substance (drug) use policy so that you do not sacrifice
your privilege to participate in prom and your graduation ceremony. Please remind each other to make
good choices. Stay out of situations where you are exposed to drugs and alcohol so that you, your family,
the Northeast faculty and staff, and your fellow classmates can celebrate your successful completion of
high school. This should be a joyous time, so be safe, and enjoy the walk to the stage on May 29.
For our 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students, on May 11, you will bring home your course selection
verification sheets. Parents, please look over the verification sheets to be sure that the classes your student
has chosen aligns with their academic plan beyond high school. If there are any changes necessary to your
student’s course selections, please note them on the verification sheet. These verification sheets will be
collected back from your student on May 12.
Parents, as always, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact the school.
We are Northeast,

Attention Class of 2016
IMPORTANT Senior Portrait Information
Dear Rising Seniors and Parents of Rising Seniors:
Your senior year is quickly approaching, and that means it’s time to take Senior
Portraits! Senior portraits will be taken in May, July, and September at Northeast
High School. Lifetouch / Prestige will assign a date to you by postcard. NHS Yearbook
works only with Lifetouch for yearbook portraits. So even if you will NOT be
purchasing photographs through Lifetouch, but you DO want your senior portrait to
appear in your senior yearbook, you should still have your portraits taken by
Lifetouch on your assigned appointment date in order to appear in the yearbook.
Remember!
If you do not have your portrait taken by Prestige, your
portrait will NOT appear in the yearbook. It costs nothing
to have your yearbook picture taken, so be sure you come to
school on the correct day and time to have your picture
taken even if you are not purchasing portraits. If you
miss your appointment, please come on one of the make-up
days after contacting Lifetouch / Prestige.
It is important that once you receive your proofs from Lifetouch that you go online
and select the portrait that you would like placed in the 2016 yearbook. Choose ONLY
a picture taken in the traditional tux or drape with a BLUE BACKGROUND. If you
select a portrait with anything other than a blue background, the yearbook staff will
choose an appropriate one for you.
Finally, please understand that the senior portrait pages of the yearbook must be
completed by our staff by the end of September. Therefore, if your portraits are not
taken and selected by September 27, your senior portrait will not appear in the
yearbook. If you have any questions, please contact Monica Lynch at
mllynch@aacps.org.
Thank you for your cooperation,
2016 Northeast High School Yearbook Staff

on their children’s achievement. When schools, families, and community groups work
together to support learning, children tend to do better in school, stay in school
longer, and like school more.” Anne T. Henderson, Karen L. Mapp

as well as lead a river tubing adventure!
High Adventure Camp is a six day, five

enthusiasts looking to experience all that
Maryland’s wilderness has to offer. Campers spend the first two days taking in

crabbing, canoeing on the Severn River,
and teambuilding—and developing backcountry skills, including wildlife identification, campfire safety, cooking, campsite
selection, and practicing Leave No Trace
ethics. On the third morning we’ll wake
up early and take a bus out to the backcountry to start our real adventure and put
those skills to use! We’ll spend four days
and three nights hiking and camping in
one of Maryland’s most beautiful natural
areas. Hiking all day to a remote campsite
is one of nature’s most rewarding experiences, but can offer an at-times strenuous
challenge. Our experienced staff will be
there every step of the way to make sure
every camper has a positive, memorable

El Campo del
Bosque
Dates: June 29–July 2
Time: 8:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m.
From the moment your passport is stamped
entrada (entrance) by the officials at
inmigración (immigration), you will find
yourself immersed in an exciting world
where you will experience Hispanic culture
and speak the Spanish language. The goal
of El Campo del Bosque is to have learners
acquire a beginning pronunciation and vocabulary, be able to make basic exchanges
in the language, and develop some appreciation of the Hispanic culture. Through
word games, skits, music, art, and outdoor
activities, children gain an introduction or
enhance their existing Spanish speaking
skills while learning about the cultures in
which Spanish is spoken.
During the course of the 4-day camp,
instructors, who represent a combination of
both native and non-native speakers, will
immerse children in the target language
through a non-intimidating yet challenging
“Spanish only” environment. Students will
experience the structure and sound of the language through the use of phonics, song and
writing, as well as upbeat and exciting cultural
activities.
Children with no Spanish language
proficiency as well as the student who wants
to improve his or her language skills during
