Principal`s Newsletter - Northeast High School
Principal’s Newsletter Northeast High School May/June 2016 Dear Northeast Parents, The springtime is an exciting time of year around a high school. If your student is a senior, they get to enjoy those traditional “memory makers” for the high school experience, like prom and graduation. If your student is taking AP courses, they get to finally tackle that AP exam they have been working so hard for all year. If your student is a 9th grader, they can see the end of their first year of high school and know they made it. They can look forward to feeling like a “seasoned veteran” ready to take on the 10th grade. If your student is an 11th grader, they are now looking forward to their final year of high school and are excited about getting to where they want to go once they achieve their diploma. Yes, accomplishment brings a lot of excitement. During this exciting time, we also want to make sure students don’t lose focus on the “end game.” That celebration does not turn into despair. For seniors, it’s helping each other make good decisions while celebrating the conclusion of high school, and their journey into the next phase of their futures. For juniors, it’s making sure they take the SAT before their senior year begins. For freshmen and sophomores, it’s finishing their course work that will be their building blocks towards a solid future in college and career readiness. Parents, please join the faculty and staff at Northeast High School in continuing the meaningful conversations on how to “finish strong.” Please continue to speak to your students about staying away from drugs and alcohol. Also, if your student, or a loved one close to your student, is battling addiction to please seek help. Resources are available in our Office of School Counseling. Additionally, please continue the conversation with your student about remaining E-Free for their 4th marking period, and ultimately their 2nd semester. The students’ Scholarship Challenge for 4th marking period is to be 90% E-Free at each grade level. Please continue the conversation about not accepting the “E;” to do the work it takes to get credit in the course, and utilize NHS Hour to its fullest benefit. Finally, continue the conversation about what your student wants to accomplish after high school, and how they are taking the courses currently to get them there. Together, let’s continue to engage our Eagles in activities that further the celebration of their accomplishments. We Are Northeast, Jason T. Williams Jason T.

WhittingtonPelant Joseph WhittingtonPelant Rebecca Wilson Brittany Yarbrough Justin Zakens News from FACS-Child Development Students are busy planning the ceremony and celebration for our preschool graduates. Our roster is full for the 2016-2017 preschool year, but we are still accepting names for the waiting list. We accept four-year olds and mature three-year-olds. Children must be able to independently use the bathroom. Preschool will open the first week of November on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. The cost for the entire year is only $80. Please email Mrs. Zell at lzell@aacps.org to be placed on the waiting list or for more information. Sixteen Child Development students have earned the MD 90 +9 clock hour certificate for child care. This is based on grades, attendance, and portfolio. The Northeast Culinary Team worked very hard this year preparing for the Maryland State Student Invitational Competition. The competition is designed like the Food Network Show “Chopped”. The students have 60 minutes, two butane burners, and no electricity to complete an appetizer, entrée, and dessert. The meal this year was our Spectacular Crab and Shrimp stacked salad, Rockfish Pistachio Tournade, and our famous Texas sheet cake with Raspberry Mousse. Two identical plates must be presented to the judges, one for tasting, and one for photos. The team has been planning and working together since November to prepare for this competition. Team members Brittany Bancroft, Marisa Brown, Rebecca Dove, Carl J. Harding, and Kyle Schwartz created, and re-created recipes, practicing twice a week for the past four months. While most students are sleeping in on Saturday mornings, my team was cooking away from 9am until we finish. We finished 1 minute late which cost us 1 point. We came in fourth place by .67! If we had finished on time we would have placed second. I am very proud of my team! The last two years we have won the state competition and represented Maryland at the National competition. After our evaluation this year we hoped to bring home another championship. All of the chef judges raved about all of our dishes. The competition always comes down to fractions of points, and even though we did not place this year my team represented Northeast superbly. Next year I have only one team member returning with whom we will start the building for another team. Last Summer 18 students from Northeast High travelled to Iceland for an Eco-Adventure that they will, no doubt, long remember. We toured the capitol city of Reykjavik, soaked in the hot springs of the Blue Lagoon, explored lava fields and climbed onto a glacier! And they learned to say Eyjafjallajokull (the name of the most famous volcano in Iceland). This summer, 17 students will be travelling to Puerto Rico to explore San Juan (the capitol), and travel to a fort used in Pirates of the Carribean, to one of the largest caverns in the US, ride horses through the only rainforest in the US, zipline through the treetops, and paddle into the bioluminescent bay at night! It's gonna be awesome. In 2017 students are invited to travel to Peru in South America where they'll learn the culture there, travel to Machu Pichu, and take a motor canoe trip into the Amazon rainforest. Northeast High School students are seeing the world and having adventures that most people only dream of. As they say, JUST DO IT!

For Your Information Saving for college is about to get a little easier for Maryland's lower-income families. Maryland residents who enroll in the state's 529 college savings plans next year could receive an annual donation of $250 from the state thanks to legislation approved by the general assembly. State officials have agreed to offer matching grants to encourage low- and moderate-income residents to participate in Maryland's 529 plan. Wealthy families readily use these investment plans because the earnings typically are free from federal and state taxes so long as the funds are used to pay for college expenses. To get a wider range of families on board, Maryland will now match contributions on a sliding income scale. Yearbooks hold special memories, and your child will treasure hers forever. The cost of the yearbook is $100 plus tax. Students with pre-ordered books are invited to an after-school book signing party with music and refreshments available. The last day to pre-order books online is May 15. Only students who have pre-ordered books will be able to receive their books during the party. After the book signing party, leftover books will be sold on a first-come-firstserved basis during A block of NHS hour, Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and after school. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to give your child the memories only a yearbook can recall. Here’s How to Purchase Your Child’s Yearbook: Go to www.jostens.com Click on “Yearbooks” then click the link that says “Buy Your Yearbook.” Enter “Northeast Senior High School Pasadena, MD,” and our school will pop up in a drop down menu. Click on Northeast Senior High School Pasadena, MD. Select your package. After you choose your package click on the “Next” button. Follow the online instructions for payment.

Attention Class of 2017 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 2017 yearbook.

Thank you for your cooperation, 2017 Northeast High School Yearbook Staff _______________________________________ 5 Harry S. Truman Parkway Annapolis, Maryland 21401 Dear Principal, Thank you for your school’s participation in last year’s Summer Reading Club program. With your help, more than 17,000 people participated in the annual initiative, which helps prevent the dreaded ‘Summer Slide’. We are pleased to report the program saw an 11 percent increase in participation over 2014. We are working diligently to finalize plans for this year’s program, On Y our Mark, Get Set, Read! We are excited to offer some exciting new performers, programs and prizes for participants. We are also thrilled to offer online registration for the first time ever. Students, teachers and parents can sign up for the Summer Reading Club, through Beanstack, a web-based program that allows participants to easily track books read, earn rewards and receive personalized recommendations of children's books and apps handpicked by staff. We hope this will make participating in the program, easier and more fun! We invite you to visit our website www.aacpl.net for information about signing up starting on June 6. After much consideration we are also discontinuing the Chesapeake Cup contest. While we enjoyed acknowledging the work of one school per year, the contest prevented us from doing more promotion of the Summer Reading Club in schools as to not give an advantage to schools near our branches. We believe that promoting the Summer Reading Club in as many venues as possible, we’ll be able to impact our young people more effectively and see higher participation. We hope you understand this decision. We continue to appreciate your commitment to our mutual goal of creating lifelong readers and learners. We look forward to seeing your students, teachers and parents in our libraries this summer. Sincerely, Hampton “Skip” Auld AACPL Chief Executive Officer _______________________________________ 5 Harry S.
