Parents,
We thank you for attending Open House this past week and into this coming week. It is a wonderful opportunity to partner with our students and families.
In case you weren’t able to attend, we are sharing the videos which were shared during the various Open Houses from:
And please note next Friday, September 4 will be a Professional Learning Day instead of our half-days originally scheduled for September 14 and October 21. We do encourage students to use Friday, September 4 as a day to catch up on any asynchronous work.
As per our email on August 6, we would like to let parents know that ALL CNG School Materials need to be returned to campus. The due date for this will be: Friday, September 11. The form is here. Following this date, families will be billed for any missing CNG School Materials. Please note that families with outstanding CNG School Materials will not be able to check out textbooks or library materials until the materials are returned and/or the invoice paid. We thank you for your understanding regarding this as we need to provide other students with these materials.
Thank you!

Today we are sharing a document that we hope will facilitate meaningful conversations within our CNG families about the global issue of racism. We invite you to use these resources to open meaningful discussions about anti-racism. Visit the document in the Parent Education section of the Parents As Partners HUB (link below).

Dear Parents,
Learning Center teachers have been helping students understand the routines and schedules, as well as helping them become more proficient in using the technological tools that they will need to be successful this school year. Co-teachers have designed added tools and supports in the classrooms to help children navigate their school routines and are teaching students each day to use these supports and strategies. They are also running small groups to provide students additional opportunities to practice and review essential skills. All learning center teachers, therapists, and specialists have started to gather valuable information on children's present skills in order to design learning plans that meet them where they are at, and help take them to the next level in their learning. In designing these plans your input, feedback, and observations will be very valuable. Together we will make the best team for your children.

Counselors
Responsibility: To take action and understand how our choices affect others, ourselves, and the world.*
As we look into the “new reality” that seems to be upon us, the PurposeFull People character trait that will be our focus for the next two months holds great relevance and importance: Responsibility. It is now that our sense of responsibility and our ability to act in such a way will be tested. In the past months we have been responsible for staying home and learning how to adapt. Now, we need to be socially responsible and really understand the weight of our personal decisions and how they affect others. This is a huge lesson for everyone around the world, and we invite you all to be role models for our younger generation.
On a different note, we want to share with you that our Counseling Hub has been updated. You can use this great libguide to schedule meetings with your son/daughter’s counselor and to find other resources that might be useful for you and your family. As always, please remember that the counseling team is here to support you, so don’t hesitate to reach out.

On September 4th, we will have no activities due to teacher professional learning sessions.
