Transcript of Highwheeler Highlights -...
for our GATE students.
I would like to thank all
of our Northwood parents for
your generous support this
year by seeing to it that your
child’s assignments were
completed, by volunteering in
our classrooms, by attending
our many family activities,
and through your support of
our fundraising efforts. By
forging a strong community/
school relationship, we ensure
that each child who attends
Northwood is successful.
Have a great summer and
see you all back at school on
September 8th!
Principal’s Message
By Dr. Stuart Payne
Dear Northwood Families,
I hope this Special Sum-
mer Edition of our High-
wheeler Highlights newsletter
finds your family well and
enjoying your summer break.
In this edition we highlight a
few events from the past tri-
mester and recognize our
award recipients for the se-
cond and third trimesters.
We had a productive year
which included the installa-
tion of rooftop solar panels, a
Kinder Garden, and a second
computer lab for our students.
Additionally, we expanded
our before school enrichment
programs for students needing
extra academic support as
well as after school interest-
based activities including
Chess Club, Homework Club,
Lego Club, and Mad Science
On June 16th, the Northwood staff began training for the purpose of implementing Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports (PBIS) dur-ing the 2011-12 school year. PBIS is a research-based, school-wide ap-proach to improving
school climate by creat-ing a safer and more ef-fective school environ-ment. PBIS focuses pri-marily on improving a school’s ability to teach expectations and sup-port positive behavior for all students by imple-menting school-wide procedures in all set-tings.
Northwood and Meadow Park
teachers collaborate for PBIS
training the day after the stu-
dents went on summer break.

21st Century Report Cards
Second Computer lab Up and Running
Although our enroll-ment numbers have risen steadily over the past sev-eral years, our main com-puter lab has remained the same size. With only 35 computers in our main computer lab, the students averaged only 30 minutes of computer time per week. To keep up with the de-mand for more computer time for each of our stu-dents, we have increased our computer capacity by
adding an additional com-puter lab with an additional 35 computers. This has effectively doubled the amount of opportunities that our students have to engage in computer assist-ed tasks. We would like to thank all the parents who donat-ed flat panel computer screens to our school to help us complete our goal of completing this lab.
Parents were instead instruct-ed to access their child’s re-port cards through the Parent Portal and were notified via email when the report cards became available online. For families who did not have access to a computer, paper copies were provided or ac-
This year our district moved to electronic report cards for a variety of reasons including: (1) going green, (2) saving green, and (3) providing par-ents with immediate access to their child’s progress via the Internet. To that end, we did not send home paper copies of report cards during the second trimester and third trimesters.
cess to a computer at school was provided. We thank the IUSD Infor-mation Technologies Dept. for bringing our grade reporting delivery system into the 21st century and we thank all of our parents for adapting to this new technology.

During the last two trimesters,
Northwood has offered our stu-
dents a number of extended
learning opportunities through
Afterschool Classroom Enrich-
ment (ACE) programs.
We’d like to thank our PTA
ACE Coordinator, Shari Barry,
for bringing these ACE programs
to Northwood. In addition to
Lego, Chess, and Homework
Clubs, we are looking to add a
Kinder Cooking Club next year.

This year, our GATE students
participated in an after-school

called Mad Science. The Mad
Science program is designed to
spark the imagination and curi-

minds by providing them with
fun, interactive and educational
programs that instill a clear un-
