We are excited to celebrate our CNG Arts and Tech Fest next week, April 12th - 16th. Our community will be engaging in various events, and families at home can get involved too! You can:
-
Encourage your student to submit work for our showcase, explore student art, creations, and performances in our galleries.
- Ask about the professional artists students will meet during classes.
- Brainstorm ideas for a note they could write to a healthcare worker.
We hope this week you can find moments to celebrate all the amazing Art and Technology we have going on at CNG.

Dear Parents:
In addition to the Arts and Tech Fest news, we would like to share with you an important reminder about CNG’s detailed and well-established Child and Adolescent Protection policies and protocols. During these times of Distance and Hybrid Learning, we need highlight this vital information, since our students are increasingly vulnerable due to their increased amounts of screen time. You can read more here in English as well as in Spanish.
Warm Regards,

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
From the Principal’s Desk
Last week we started the course selection process for students for 2021-2022. We met with students in an assembly and then we had a Virtual Course Fair where they could find out more about the classes available to them. This is a wonderful opportunity to speak with your teenagers about their interests and preferences, their future goals, and their profile as a learner.

PS Primary School
Dear Primary School Parents!
We are looking forward to seeing our students back on campus this week. Please remember the importance of following routines these last few weeks of school. We know that your kids and you are tired but ensuring a good night sleep, structured environments and clear routines makes it easier for everyone.

Dear parents,
We hope you all had a very restful break and that you are all ready to return to a Hybrid model for the next couple of weeks. We are certainly excited to get back on campus and get going with the last stretch of this school year.
Another valuable resource is a free webinar titled The College Application Process: MIlestones Where Executive Functions Skills Can Be Cultivated, a discussion about the college search and application process with Jan Sigmon, from The University Playbook and Samantha Feinman, Director of New Frontiers. They will explore how the college search and application process require executive functioning skills that can be cultivated as a part of college planning. They will look at common obstacles that students face, how to make the process a learning opportunity, and some important components that should be inherent in every college search and application process.

Counselors
Dear CNG Community,
In light of the pandemic and our current shared planetary reality, there have been stories of suffering and despair that have kindled others of hope, empathy, compassion, honesty, awareness. And we need more of those, to cope. As writer Jill Lepore from The New Yorker explains: “(…) there are more things to admire in men than to despise (…) More things, human after all.”
Now, as the vaccination scheme begins to unroll, we can start to dream going back to something similar to what we were used to. Lepore explains that “In the literature of contagion, when society is finally free of disease, it’s up to humanity to decide how to begin again.”
How do we begin again, then? By being more human, seems to be the answer.

On a final note, know that the counseling team is always here to help and support you.

Athletics & Condor Activities
The Condor Activities Department and Athletics Department would like CNG families to keep in mind the statement from Jerry Jones as we head into the final stretch of school, “Everybody is pretty good in the first quarter. Second quarter, you have a little bump or two on you coming into the half. By the time the third quarter comes around, you're tired, you're laboring. When you come to the fourth quarter, it calls on your character.”
Fortunately, we can make a quick transition back to on-campus learning. The Athletics Department is planning to return to on-campus Saturday activities (Pending Biosecurity Recommendations). Saturday, April 17, we are planning to offer group A athletic practice, and Saturday, April 24, group B will be able to participate in practice. Information regarding Saturday practice will be distributed within the Skyward messaging system. Athletes coaching staff will also be able to provide details.
Condor Activities will continue to participate in virtual sessions due to the availability of a consistent schedule and the virtual programs’ strength already in place.
