12 - November 2, 2020

Dear Parents of Students Opting-In to Module 1,

On Thursday and Friday last week, our students scheduled to participate in Group A Hybrid Learning completed PCR testing on campus. The process went very smoothly and we do not anticipate any issues when Group B students begin to test on campus Tuesday and Wednesday this week. We expect many of you received the test results for your child(ren) already from the Fundacion Santa Fe. When you do receive those results, we need all parents to send those results as an attachment using the email address, pcrtest@cng.edu

The deadline to send PCR student results will be:

  • Group A students - Thursday, November 5 
  • Group B students - Thursday, November 12 

As a reminder, CNG handles the personal data of its students and parents according to its Data Processing Policy which can be found here; and that the data processing has been authorized by the holders during the registration process or in other instances.  

Thank you for doing this in a timely manner.

Dear Parents:

We hope you are all doing well and the student COVID-19 testing has been smooth for your children. We have developed this CNG Hybrid Model Parent Frequently Asked Questions document which we encourage you to read in case you have questions.
 
As well, this is the Daily Survey Link for Students which parents/students will need to complete one hour prior to their student getting on a bus and/or arriving on campus. Please note that students in ES, MS, and HS can also access this Daily Survey Link in the Single Sign On in the Biosecurity folder.
 
Wishing you all a wonderful week! 
 
Thank you!

CNG Thanksgiving 2020

Dear CNG Community:

The National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) and the National Honor Society (NHS) have been planning a new way to ensure that Thanksgiving still comes to CNG! We encourage parents to watch this video by the NHS and this video by the NJHS. Instead of food baskets to be given in thanks to our 196 CNG General Services and the 53 FHNG workers, the NHS and NJHS will be organizing Sodexo cash cards for each employee. We encourage parents to make a donation using this link (please note you will need your CNG family code and student code). We are asking parents to make a donation of COP$30,000 per child in the family. 

Plans are in the works for a CNG Condor Family virtual celebration as well as the sharing of caring messages throughout our campus for our General Services workers, the closer we get to Thanksgiving.

We thank you for your support!

HS High School

From the Principal’s Desk

On Thursday, teachers were on campus for a Biosecurity Training and Preparation Day and it was a wonderful day! Teachers did biosecurity training, streaming technology training, prepared their classrooms, and generally got to start feeling what it will be like to be on campus. 

MS Middle School

Middle School- WE ARE READY! It was so great seeing staff back on campus and the kids in orientations this week. Parents and students have been so patient and kind in asking thoughtful questions this week that make us more prepared for the start of hybrid- Thank you!
ES Elementary School

Dear ES Families,

We hope you had a great Puente Weekend! The excitement is building as we prepare for on-campus learning next week. Please see information about this in the CCN, and plan to join us for ES Hybrid Orientation on Wednesday November 4th at 8:00.
Thank you for your Partnership
PS Primary School

Dear Primary School Parents!   

The next chapter of this unique story is about to begin. We know that just like most things this year, this new adventure creates mixed feelings. The fear of the unknown and the excitement of having our children back at school. We want you to know that we are very excited and have been preparing to continue to follow our mission.
Learning Center
Dear parents,

New big changes are coming. Whether you have opted for on-campus learning or to continue with distance learning, children are once again going to be facing yet another change in routine. As always the best way to support children in successfully adapting to change is anticipation. The more work we do in talking to them about what is coming the better equipped they will be to adjust and adapt. Speak to your children about the new routines whether they be in school or at home. Be honest with them and let them know that there may be things you don't know and some things may be different than before. Listen to them and validate their feelings. I am including a few articles that may help and the LC building level coordinators will be sharing more resources this week.

Athletics & Condor Activities

Hybrid learning is on the horizon! Although, Condor Activities and Athletics will remain virtual during hybrid learning this semester. Primary and Elementary schedules for athletics and activities will stay the same, while Middle and High School will take place in a morning or afternoon session. The instructors and coaching staff will provide their students and team with the new schedule. 

This week we will host our second athletics captain council meeting. In our last meeting, we were able to connect with our captains to receive valuable feedback and brainstormed ideas on how to create culture while in distance learning. We are excited to see how the council evolves as the year progresses. 

GO CONDORS!!!
