8th Grade Open House Set for Tonight!
Our annual 8th Grade Open House is coming up! Over the past few years, we have evolved this program to be more of a showcase of all that Northview has to offer young people. Our mission is to offer the best high school experience in northwest Ohio. In order to do that, we need to continue to attract students and teachers who bring passion, energy, and talents into the Northview Family. If you know of an 8th grader who is searching for a GREAT place to spend their high school years, encourage the him or her to attend our welcoming program next Thursday night. Go Cats!
ACT Preparatory Course with Mrs. Rhine & NV Teachers Up & Running in ‘17-18 Experts will tell you that the two most important things that students can do to prepare to do well on the ACT and SAT are to take challenging courses, and to work hard to do well in these courses. Moreover, when you speak with competitive colleges from coast to coast, and the clear message across the board was that the first two things they look at when considering a student for admission is rigor of courses taken in high school and how well that student did in those rigorous courses. Keep this in mind in the spring semester, as you discuss with your student their intentions for scheduling courses for next year. If he or she is capable of challenging themselves with an Honors or Advanced Placement (AP) course, encourage them to do so.
Beyond these basic steps, we have started the College Prep Challenge for Juniors (see pgs. 5 & 6 of this newsletter). In addition, we are currently signing students up for our ACT Prep Course, which will run this fall in preparation for the December ACT. This course will consist of one full length practice test and then review of areas of weakness from expert teachers in those subject areas. For more information, please see the flyer on page two.

Seniors Get Schooled in Finances and Dinner Etiquette

Students will be given an advanced look at what life after high school will look like, when bills and tangible responsibilities are thrust upon them. On Monday, November 13th, Seniors also have an opportunity to attend an etiquette dinner at Element 112, sponsored by the Leadership Academy, where they will learn the dos and don’ts of a formal dining setting. They will also practice delivering a toast in front of an audience.
