Parents,
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. We recommend parents/students print out one form for each child who is a CNG student and note down the information of what is being returned. Please place all materials for ONE division in a single plastic bag along with the form. Please note PS, ES, MS, or HS (or EVL) on the outside of the bag to facilitate the inventory of these materials. Thank you!
Following this date, families will be billed for any missing CNG School Materials. For those of you outside of Bogota and unable to meet this deadline, please complete this Google Form by Friday, September 11. 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.
We’d also like to invite you to take a look at CNG’s updated Distance Learning 2.0 Handbook available on the Distance Learning HUB.
Thank you!

The Parents as Partners HUB was developed based on feedback from the parent community. It gathers useful tools and resources for parents to be involved in their children’s education, which we know is the number one predictor of student success!
Take advantage of the available resources: why the parent-school partnership is paramount, valuable parent education resources, school calendars with features to copy events in your personal calendar, character education curriculum, student learning expectations (standards & benchmarks), among others.

HS High School
From the Principal’s Desk
Although our students are very adept at technology and are navigating the Distance Learning world fairly well, we will be supporting them with a course from Global Online Academy called, “Learning to Learn Online”. We have signed up all our High School students for this FLEX course that will be happening from September 15th to 18th.

MS Middle School
We have wonderful things to look forward to in middle school! We will be adding clubs to our Advisory meeting times in a couple of weeks. This is a great opportunity for our middle schoolers to try something new, start something or connect with a group in a social way. So far, we have clubs ranging from advocacy and support to activity and action.

Dear Parents,
As we start our second month of distance learning, it is also essential to make sure that you are taking good care of yourself so you can continue to support your children and families.
In addition to taking care of yourself, it is also essential to make sure that children learn strategies to manage frustrations or challenges that may come with this new learning format. Here are three strategies that may help:
-
Name it: Help them identify and name their emotions or feelings.
-
Control it: Help children to observe what in their routine triggers frustration or nervousness and develop strategies to control them.
-
Validate: Acknowledge their feelings and help them understand that everyone feels frustration at one point or another.

Counselors
Dear CNG Community,
It was great to see so many of you during our Open Houses the past weeks, and we hope to continue to be connected. This week we just want to remind you to visit our Counseling Hub, which has our information and many useful resources for you and your family. We hope you continue to stay safe. As always, don’t hesitate to reach out to any member of our team if you need social-emotional support.

Athletics & Condor Activities
All athletic and Condor Activities are now in motion! We want to thank all the parents and students for committing to staying connected. As mentioned in previous CNG Community News, we will continually collect feedback from students and parents to improve our program during distance learning, hybrid, and the eventual return to on-campus education. An additional thank you to the parents that attended the open dialogue meeting with the Athletics and Condor Activities team. If you did not have the opportunity to attend the meeting, the presentation is available here.
GO CONDORS!
