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
We hope everyone has enjoyed a well deserved week of relaxation and time away from school. As we are on the brink of embarking on our newest adventure as a school, we want to once again thank you for your support, your patience, and your trust in us. There are many “moving pieces” as we plan the Hybrid Learning 1.0 model and we are trying to be as transparent as possible and give you as much information as possible.

MS Middle School
It was a wonderful week in middle school. Many of our efforts were focused on planning our upcoming Hybrid Model. We can’t emphasize enough, the benefits to attending school face to face in a safe manner. Some of the benefits our kids can look forward to are; increased socialization and physical activity, overall wellbeing through set routines, a sense of accountability and lessened “screen time”.

Welcome Back from what we hope was a peaceful and rejuvenating break! We are so excited to be back and continue preparation for ES Hybrid Learning. We hope you are planning to join Coffee Chat this week for Carlos Santiago’s presentation, Supporting Your Child's Social Emotional World in Difficult Times. It is timely and important for all of us.

Dear Primary School Parents!
We hope you had a wonderful break with family and loved ones. We can say that it was a great time to disconnect in order to reconnect. We want to thank you once again for your support and patience in this new adventure we are about to begin. When you sail the seas, there are many things you can’t control. But as long as school and home are sailing together we will always have one certainty. We will arrive victorious to our destination. This new adventure will not be the exception. We will get there as we have always done so. Thank you again for your continuous support and partnership.
Donald and Paula

Dear Parents,
As CNG continues to move forward in designing this new phase in learning, rest assured that the Learning Center staff is working diligently to make sure that we continue to provide the best support plans for students with LC services. We understand that this slow and cautious transition plan for on-campus learning will require that we continue to build a strong partnership with you, and have open communication systems for each child. We know well that all families, children, and staff have varying personal needs and safety considerations and we will be able to work together to ensure that all community members are well taken care of and supported during this new phase.

Counselors
Dear CNG Community,
During the month of October we will continue to focus on Responsibility, and this week we want to talk about digital safety. In moments like these when we are all immersed in our laptops and devices a big portion of our day (adults and children), it is very important to learn how to navigate the web in a responsible way, and to teach our children how to do so as well. Here are a few tips taken from smarsocial.com on how you can help your children:
-
Show them how ads work, how to remove them, and not to click on them. Show them what an ad looks like and how to look for the “x” somewhere so they can remove it.
- Help your children notice and question marketing messages; talk to them about why they are there, what is the final objective and how this can be harmful for them in many ways.
- Talk to your children about how their search history targets related ads their way.
- Educate your children about advertising in general, help them understand what role they play.
- Help your children tell the difference between facts and fiction; teach them how to question what they read, and how to properly inform themselves.
- Talk to your kids about social media influencers. Who are they? What do they do? It might be your kids to tell you about who they are, but you can help them approach this with more critical thinking.
It is important that parents go online with their children to see what kind of pages they are browsing, and what kind of ads pop up, this way there will be a lot of teaching opportunities. With digital safety, as with so many other topics, it is always better to have open conversations and to make sure that your children know that they can and should come to you first when they have questions about it.
As always, do not hesitate to reach out to us if you need any support.
