NAMS Principal Coffee Chat (2/25 Evening) This past Tuesday, February 11th, we held a NAMS Principal Coffee Chat. Recognizing that some parents/guardians weren't able to attend a morning Coffee Chat, we have scheduled an evening Coffee Chat as well. Thank you to those parents/guardians who contacted me to request an evening chat. Please join us for the next Principal Coffee Chat on Tuesday, February 25th @ 7:00 p.m. (NAMS Library). We will be reviewing the entry plan data collected last year and sharing updates regarding what has been accomplished and what work is in progress. Refreshments will be provided by NAMS PTAC.  RAISE Theme for February is RESPECT North Andover students will demonstrate respect. They will think about others before speaking or taking any action. They will appreciate the contributions of others, while showing respect for themselves, other people, personal and/or community property and the environment. Week of February 24th - Respect Your Environment. Student Challenge: Who can keep their wing (Carrier-8, Freeman-7, & Symmes-6) and cafeteria cleanest the week of February 24th?

SOS is a fun-filled, substance-free, overnight party held each year at North Andover High School on the night of Graduation. It marks the conclusion of an activity-filled Senior Week, making the SOS party a very special event! Each year, members of the Senior Class celebrate together while enjoying a wide range of activities, food, music, and entertainment. The SOS party is planned and run by a dedicated group of board members and dozens of volunteers. There are many ways that parents of students of ALL ages can help. Many volunteers are needed before, during, and after the event to insure it runs smoothly. You can help keep this wonderful tradition going! How can you learn more and sign up to help?
