Last Friday we began the process to schedule parent conferences. Beginning October 25, parents were able to schedule parent-teacher conferences, which will be held on the following dates and times: Tuesday, November 5th - 7:30 AM to 10 AM (IN PERSON) Tuesday, November 5th - 12:00 PM to 2:40 PM (VIRTUAL VIA GOOGLE MEET) Wednesday, November 13th - 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM (IN PERSON) To sign up for conferences, follow this LINK to a Google Sheet where you can view each teacher's individual sign-up links. Please note that you will need to schedule appointments with each individual teacher that you would like to meet with. Next to each teacher's name, you will see three links to sign-up, one for each of the three conference windows. When you click the link, you may need to navigate to the correct date. You can do this easily by clicking the "Jump to the next available date" option, as pictured below. If a date is showing no availability, that teacher's schedule may be full. Conferences are offered on a first come, first serve basis. If that is the case, you are welcome to reach out individually with any questions or concerns you may have. Once you schedule your appointment(s), you will receive email confirmations with room locations for in-person appointments and Google Meet links for virtual appointments. These email confirmations will also have instructions should you need to cancel your appointment. | | On Monday, November 4, we will be holding a mock election (the building is closed on Election Day, so that is why we are holding it the day before). Students will have the chance to vote for their choice in the Presidential election. We will announce our school results that afternoon. We invite students to compare the national results to our school election.

If any parent needs assistance completing the form, please contact the school. We are happy to assist you, even after the due date of Novemnber 1.
Here, once again, is the official notice…
October 15, 2024 – November 1, 2024 Each fall, the Northern Burlington County Regional School District reaches out to all parents asking that they complete the Federal Impact Aid survey. This is a very important document that needs to be completed in a timely manner. To make this process more convenient for our families, this Federal Impact Aid survey can be completed electronically. The Northern Burlington County Regional School District must receive an annual signed survey from ALL parents or guardians for EACH student in order to receive federal funding of military affiliated students. Please note that even if you are not active in the military or a civilian working on federal property, it is essential that ALL parents and guardians complete and sign this form as of October 15, 2024 by November 1, 2024. Federal Impact Aid supports local school districts with concentrations of children who have parents/guardians in the uniformed services or parents/guardians employed on eligible Federal Properties. It was designed to assist local school districts that have lost property tax revenue due to the presence of tax-exempt Federal Property served by the district. Each year, Northern Burlington receives Federal Impact Aid funds because of your cooperation in returning these forms to us in a timely manner. For our District to meet the filing deadline, we need to have the completed form(s) submitted no later than November 1, 2024, even if your employment does not fall within the categories listed on the survey. Please note, as of October 15, 2024 you will not be able to access your child(ren)’s grades until the survey form is completed so, please complete this electronic survey form in a timely fashion. Click here to log into your PowerSchool parent account, once logged in click on the link from the left side of the webpage that says Forms and complete the “Title VIII Federal Impact Aid Survey” for the current year, electronically. A form needs to be submitted for each child, however if submitting for multiple children, please click the arrow up key next to the submit button. This will allow you to submit the form for each child without having to reproduce each survey selection. Thank you for your continued support of the Northern Burlington County Regional School District. If you have additional questions, please contact Jill Markley, Administrative Assistant, at (609) 298-3900, extension 2003 or Richard Kaz, School Business Administrator, extension 2080. | |  | The Middle School Elks Student of the Month for September, Alexander Baumley (The Elks Club recognizes SOTM September - April, and the school distrcit recognizes SOTM October - May, and that difference results in just one SOTM for September.) |

Due by: Tuesday, November 12, 2024 | | Dear NB Parents: Buddy Club needs your support. We are collecting gently worn, used, and new shoes (sneakers, sandals, boots, dress shoes, cleats, etc.) for our Shoe Drive Fundraiser! We will be collecting shoes from October 7th to November 15, 2024. Now's the perfect time to clean out your closet of old shoes and get rid of your child's old sports cleats!
Students can put the shoes in the collection box located in the foyer of the main entrance. We appreciate your support of the Buddy Club. Any questions please contact hevert@nburlington.com or tnagy@nburlington.com. | | The registration for Winter Sports is now open. That would be for students interested in participating in Basketball, Wrestling, or Cheerleading. Time is short if you have not registered already. Please do so ASAP. If your child is not cleared in time for tryouts, he/she cannot try out for the team (so they will not make the team, no matter how skilled). Athletic Winter registration IS NOW OPEN for both the High School and Middle School. Please visit this WEBSITE to register. If you already have an account, please sign in with your current username and password. DO NOT CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT! If you need assistance, please contact the Athletic Office at 609-298-3900, ext. 2093 or email moneill@nburlington.com | | November is Military Families Month! Thinking of the many stressors that military families may face, it seemed helpful to include here a breathing technique developed by the Navy Seals that anyone, at any age, can use anywhere. It’s called box breathing and it’s broken into four equal parts, each for a count of four. To touch on it here, one would clear air from the lungs and keep them empty for a count of four, inhale through the nose for a count of four, hold the breath there for four and exhale through your nose for a count of four. It can be helpful to picture the sides of a box when performing it. According to the author of this article, a trained Seal, Mark Divine, reports that it “will make you very alert and grounded, ready for action.” It sounds like it would be good to practice when feeling stressed or scattered, in order to gather your focus. For the full article click here. | | Is your child in need of academic support? Members of the High School National Honors Society provide tutoring to all Northern Burlington students. Middle School students can attend tutoring after school on Mondays and Wednesdays in the Greyhound Learning Center. Interested students simply need to sign up during their lunch period.
