Dear Parents:

In case you missed Dr. Habegger’s presentations to parents this past week, please take a look at this video: https://vimeo.com/521942886 (In case it requests a password, please use CNGCH - same as for our Parents as Partners HUB and the CNG Community Handbook libguide.)

Leadership in each of our divisions will be piloting new instructional strategies such as grouping of students to best accommodate successful student learning during Module 6 for our virtual students as well as those on campus. We will continue to use our live streaming technology in addition to all the new strategies learned from our recent professional development training for teachers with Dr. Doug Fisher. 

Although we anticipate being in full Distance Learning after Semana Santa, we will continue to provide the highest quality instruction for all students and utilize what we’ve learned during Module 6 for subsequent modules.


Warm Regards,
The Uniform Recycling Program facilitates discarding old/small uniforms for CNG families and allows other families to purchase gently used and like-new uniform items at a reasonable price (hoodies are 10,000!). Proceeds benefit FHNG. 
Families can drop off used CNG uniform items at the CNG Main Gate for this program.

Other items are upcycled by High School students, and/or donated to other nonprofit organizations in alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goal #12: Responsible Consumption and Production. Please email marcela.chiaradia@cng.edu if you are interested in purchasing items.

Remember to bookmark the Parents As Partners HUB on your phone and laptop for easy access to important information for CNG parents.

HS High School

Here we go! The moment we have been waiting for… almost 90% of our High School students will be joining us on Monday and we are so excited to welcome them! We look forward to seeing more students in the halls and to have friends reunited from A and B groups. There will likely be some growing pains with the re-entry and we continue to ask for your patience as we continue to strive to create the safest and most productive learning environment for your teenagers.  


MS Middle School

Dear Parents,
It was a great week in the middle school. We completed MAP testing and welcomed Group B back to campus and were busy preparing for an egg drop project in science- and so much more. To hear upcoming information, watch this week’s video HERE.
ES Elementary School

Dear ES Families,
There is excitement in the air as we enter our first week of the CNG all Opt-In Pilot Project. Details of the Pilot Project as well as some date revisions and timely updates are in the CCN. Please read carefully!
Thank you for your Continued Partnership and Support!
PS Primary School

Dear Primary School Parents!  
We are looking forward to seeing most of our students back on campus this week. Although school will still look different, slowly we can begin to feel some sense of normality. These next few days we will continue to monitor our online and on site classes and make changes if needed. We appreciate your feedback.
Learning Center
Dear parents,

The rapid shift to Distance Learning last year turned students’, and teachers’, executive function strategies on their heads. Now we face a new shift in our Hybrid Learning model and will most likely continue to cycle between virtual, in-person, and hybrid instruction for what's left of the school year. With all of these changes, it is becoming increasingly challenging for teachers, students, and parents to keep up. Today we are sharing a free webinar that explores how various instructional models impact executive function demands and create executive function difficulties that undermine academic achievement:


If you have any questions about our service provisions for the two-week pilot of all students back on campus, please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's service provider, your LC building level Coordinator, or LC Administration. 

Counselors 

Dear CNG Community, 

As we soak up the exciting news about everyone returning to campus we would like to continue to discuss the many ways in which we can support the students and help them succeed. Here at CNG we hold integrity and honesty at a high standard. We can all agree this is a vital tool to have in life. We want to foster this while here on campus so the tools are gained to succeed in the years after they graduate. Below is a helpful article that also includes ways to increase student integrity.


As always, do not hesitate to reach out to us if you need any support.

Athletics & Condor Activities

Our two-week pilot program for athletics was a great success. On CNGs Instagram account you can find some photos of our student/athletes in action. Since module 6 is both A/B opt-in, the Athletics department will be offering an A/B opt-in Saturday, March 20 training session. The guidelines for registering for Saturday, March 20 will be the same as the previous Saturdays. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact:
