NORTH STUDENTS ATTEND WISCONSIN

EDUCATION FAIR

At the Wisconsin Education Fair, NHS students were able to

talk with representatives from nearly 100 colleges, technical

colleges, universities, trade schools, and the armed forces.

North had more than 100 students attend this event.

IMPORTANT HALLOWEEN GUIDELINES AT NORTH

Halloween is just around the corner. One of the many

traditions at North High School is the wearing of Halloween

costumes. Please remind your students to be mindful of the

district dress code as they start to design a costume for the

31st. Students can pick up a copy of the guidelines at the main

office reception desk.

Additionally, these guidelines will be placed on North High’s

website for access by both students and parents. Any costume

deemed inappropriate by an administrator will require the

student to change into street clothes and his/her opportunity

to wear a costume will end. Thank you for your help with

ensuring that everyone can enjoy a safe, respectful “Husky

Halloween.”

THE 2019 YEARBOOKS HAVE ARRIVED

For those who pre-paid, we will be distributing the books

during all lunch shifts this week (Monday, October 7 – Friday,

October 11, 2019.) This is the only time of the day this week

of production over-runs (extra books) available for

purchase—price is $60. Those extra books may be purchased

beginning next week (Monday, October 14) in room 347

between classes from 7:30 am to 3:00 p.m. Graduated seniors

SICK CHILD GUIDELINES

In an effort to maintain the good health of all of our students,

please refrain from sending your child to school if they are sick.

This will reduce the overall number of illnesses among the

students.

If a child exhibits any of the following symptoms at school, a

parent/guardian/emergency contact will be notified to come and

pick up the student:

• Temperature of 100.4° or more

• Diarrhea

• Vomiting

• Persistent coughing

• Draining or spreading rash

Please keep your child home if he/she currently has or has had

any of these symptoms in the last 12 hours.

If you have any questions about these guidelines, please contact

your child’s school nurse. If you have any questions about your

child’s symptoms, please contact your child’s primary care

provider.

SENIOR PORTRAIT SUBMISSION

FOR THE

YEARBOOK

The North High School

Yearbook staff would like to

remind parents and students

of the Class of 2020 that

senior pictures should be

taken during the summer

months. Since senior portraits

are traditionally printed in

color, the deadline for

submission to be included in

the yearbook is Friday,

January 3 -- FIRM. Don’t be

disappointed; schedule an

appointment with the

photographer of your choice soon.

Only digital photos are accepted for use in the yearbook.

We also suggest that a more traditional pose (head and

shoulders) works best in the yearbook. If you request it,

most photographers in the area will submit a camera-ready,

digital photograph to the school directly as a service to you.

Please request they send the (minimum) wallet-sized file as

a jpeg with a minimum of 300 dpi resolution to

cboone@ecasd.us. All you need to do is select your pose

and place the order.
