Parents, Guardians, Family and Friends of the 2019-2020 NJHS Inductees,

For those of you are who are planning to attend Monday’s NJHS Induction Ceremony, please take a moment to read over the following letter from our School Resource Officer, Deputy Goza. It will explain where you need to park, direct you to the only door that you will be permitted through which to enter the building, how to obtain a visitor sticker, and more!

Once you have parked in the appropriate location, entered the building correctly, and acquired a visitor sticker, please go sit in the gymnasium in the bleachers in the section closest to the stage. You may sit in the bleachers to either side of the gym floor—7th grade side or 8th grade side—, but again, please slide down to sit in the section closest to the stage. 6th and 7th grade students will also be attending the ceremony and must sit in the bleachers as well. Also, if you need a restroom, following Deputy Goza’s directions, please use the facilities on our Concession Hall.

An approximate time frame was posted last week to help with those of you who will be returning to work after the festivities. Just look for the Wednesday, May 1st post. It should be right under this one.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mrs. Gingras. I am happy to help as needed!

The NJHS Induction and Reception will be held on the morning of Monday, May 13th. 7th grade students were informed today to report to CONCESSION HALL to get further instructions from Mr. Burdett after the 7:40 AM bell. 8th grade students should report to Mrs. Gingras in the CAFETERIA. Students will miss all of 1st period and most of 2nd period; therefore, students should make plans beforehand to discuss turning in work and receiving make-up work with their respective teachers.

Parents, I know that many of you will want to attend this event and celebrate your child’s accomplishments. The induction will be from approximately 8:15 to 9:00 AM. The reception will follow thereafter and will probably last until 9:30-ish. (Please do not feel like you have to stay for the entire reception…although you are welcomed to!!) Refreshments will be served.

Parents, please check back in to this blog for further instructions on where you should park and which entrance you should come in to obtain a visitors sticker. Our protocol has changed, and I want to make sure I am giving you the correct steps to follow while maintaining our school’s safety plan.

Students (7th and 8th graders) were told today that they should be “dressed for success” on Monday, May 13th. Male students are being directed to wear khaki or navy pants with a nice collared shirt. Female students were directed to wear a dress that is within dress code—make sure the length is long enough in the front and back–or wear pants and a nice top. Students were told not to wear shorts. 8th graders who come to school inappropriately dressed for this more formal occasion will be sent back to class and will not participate in any of the induction activities. (Students will be given a small amount of time to change into more comfortable clothes, so feel free to bring a change of clothes if you wish.)

If you have questions, feel free to email me at lgingras@shelbyed.org

Otherwise, check back in early next week and I will have specific directions for those parents who are wanting to attend the ceremony on Monday, May 13th in terms of where to park and where to enter the building to sign in and get your visitors sticker. Thank you…and CONGRATULATIONS!!!
