Text Box: Dear Parents and Guardians,

Thanks again for another successful year at NDHS.  We really appreciate your support and all you do to prepare your students for a successful year in and out of the classroom. Woodburn Press published  a book titled How to Get the Most Out of High School  (www.woodburnpress.com). It 
summarizes a number of points we have shared throughout the year and 
includes things to consider and be mindful of for student achievement and success.

We all want what is best for all students, and we invite your suggestions for improvements.  For those of you who would like to volunteer—we welcome you.  We have a number of clubs, activities, committees, and projects with which we welcome your assistance.  Please Text Box: visit our website for more information or call me to discuss your involvement.  We want all of you to feel comfortable and welcomed to visit and call with your concerns.  I often share with the staff and students; “I can’t take care of a problem if I don’t know what it is.”

As a result of the Accreditation Process and our recent visit from the Validation Team we want to continue our efforts to involve parents with our instructional program.  Please help us help your child by sharing and reviewing school rules and procedures and staying focused for the remainder of the year.

As always, thanks for all you do, and celebrate yourself today and always.

Sincerely,
Mr. Vaughn D. Evans, Sr.
Proud Principal of NDHS
