Event Details: • Date: October 7th • Event Time: 5:30pm – 7:00pm • Location: Northridge High School, just South of the Gym. This event aims to unite schools in our area, fostering stronger family and community ties and providing valuable resources and information to families from Northridge, North Layton Jr., Sunset Jr., Adams, Hill Field, Lincoln, Mountain View, South Weber, Sunset El., and Vae View. We have organized a variety of engaging and fun activities and services, including: Balloon artists, Face painting, Bounce houses, Haircuts for kids, Immunizations, Dinner for all attending families, and Trucks full of food for families to take home. ***Bus loop Reminder:*** The bus loop is reserved for school buses and ADA vehicles during drop-off (7:55am- 8:15am) and pick-up times (2:55pm- 3:15pm). This is to help provide a safe lane of travel for you and students. It is very difficult for people coming from the school to the parking lot and for people driving in the bus loop to see around the buses. Driving in the bus loop during drop-off and pick-up times puts pedestrians using the walkway at unnecessary risk. Please use the drop-off location on the North side of the campus during the morning and afternoons. ***Weekly Schedule:*** Monday, October 7- A Day • Northridge “Ridge City” Community Schools Family Night @ 5:30pm- 7:00pm @ NHS • Picture Retakes Tuesday, October 8- B Day • Basketball @ Fairfield @ 3:15pm • PTSA Meeting @ 3:30pm Wednesday, October 9- A Day Thursday, October 10- B Day • Basketball vs Central Davis @ 3:15pm • Band Concert @ 5:30pm- 8:30pm Friday, October 11- A Day • School Community Council Meeting @ 9:00am ***Important Upcoming Dates*** • End of Term 1 on 10/16/24 • Fall Break 10/17-18 • No School 10/21 • 2nd Term begins on 10/22

***Behavior of the Week*** Each month throughout the school year, we will focus all of our behaviors for The Behavior of the Week on one specific area. September will be focused on "Attendance". We are encouraging students to learn how to be in class ready and on time. The Behavior of the Week for 9/16-9/20 is: Arrive on time and begin bell work immediately. This behavior of the week is focusing on the accountability of the students arriving to class and beginning bell work right away, instead of walking around, talking to classmates, etc. We are hopeful that this behavior will help students be even more prepared for class when the bell rings to begin! ***Parent/Teacher Conferences*** North Layton Junior High will be hosting Parent/Teacher Conferences September 18th-19th, from 3:30-7:00pm.
