8th Grade Night - March 1, 2022
Welcome!
-
We have put together a program for the evening that we hope will give you a warm introduction to our school and answers to more specific questions you may have. In advance of the event, we ask that you take some time to review material prepared and shared on the Class of 2026 pages of the NNHS website. In particular, you should read pages 2 through 6 of Opportunities, our Course Catalog, and review departmental specific materials that have been posted. We highly recommend that parents/guardians and students attend this online event together to experience all that Newton North has to offer. Sessions will be recorded and posted later.
