The Weekly Falcon

Northwood Hills Elementary School

Mackie Kazdoy, principal


We love it when parents come and have lunch with their children at school! When you join your child for lunch, he/she is welcome to invite one friend to join the two of you at the middle table. This avoids overcrowding at the classroom table.
RISD's policy is that a parent has 3 days after their child is absent to send an excuse. NHE has been lenient in the past with a 5 day window, but we are going to have to adhere to the district's policy and make it 3 days. If you send the note after 3 days Ms. Scott can take it but it will not change an unexcused absence to an excused one. If your child is out sick for 4 or more days they need a doctor's excuse note for their absence.

"What Can I Do?" - Environmental Awareness Contest
The Texas PTA invites all students to join the 2007-2008 Environmental Awareness Contest. The theme for this year is "What Can I Do?" Students can submit an idea involving the contest theme by writing a newspaper article, designing a newsletter, drawing media art or print advertisement, creating a photograph, or producing a 30 second public service announcement in audio (PSA announcement - 6th grade only). Entries are due by February 25th. For more information go to http://www.txpta.org/enviro.html or contact Sunni Goldberg (Ben's mom) (972-392-3060).

We need some helpers to help shelve library books! This is a great way to help your school and you are welcome and needed for as long and as often as you can come! Some parents come for a while before school lets out in the afternoon. Please consider this volunteer opportunity!

Our next Cici's NHE Pizza Night will be Tuesday, February 19!
