Greeting Spartans!

What a great start to school! We were excited to see so many parents at Curriculum night and again at the PTSA sponsored Junior/Senior information session. The Governance Board continues to advance through the charter renewal proposal process sitting for the FCS interview on September 14th. We are disappointed that our SAT scores continue to fall, the administration and Governance Board are collaborating to analyze data and school practices to address this concern while we celebrate making adequate yearly progress (AYP) along with our increases on the GHSGWT  (Georgia High School Writing Test), GHSGT (Georgia High School Graduation Tests), six of eight EOCT (End of Course Tests) and the ACT for 2010-11 school year.

Our visual arts students are working with artist in residence, Jeff Mather, as a part of the Friends of North Springs vision 20/20 campaign. The NSCHS drama department fall production, Imaginary Invalid , opens October 14th. The Lady Spartan Volleyball and Softball teams are enjoying outstanding seasons, come out and cheer them on. The junior varsity Spartan Football team celebrated big wins over Riverwood and Decatur. Saturday September 24, NSCHS Executive Counsel Sponsors our annual homecoming dance in the gym, this year's theme is Candy Land. Friday September 23 the varsity Spartan football team takes on Druid Hills for homecoming in Thermopylae Stadium, don't miss it!

Until Next Month,

Lisa Stueve

A Special Note about the NSCHS Attendance Office

Please remember that students cannot be checked out from school after 3:00pm each day. This is to ensure that you are able to navigate away from campus prior to bus and parent pick-up traffic and that our buses are able to line up appropriately and safely in time for dismissal.

It is helpful for both you and your student if you send in a written permission to check-out. Students should report to the attendance office prior to school with their notes and will be provided a pass for dismissal eliminating the need to come into the building or disrupt instruction to remove your student for check out. 

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

North Springs in partnership with the City of Sandy Springs is looking forward to the anticipated October 16, arrival of six high school students from Taicang, China, and chaperones for a two week visit. Several North Springs families have volunteered to host the students in their homes and others have volunteered to be chaperones for special tours and events the school and the city are planning. Come spring Taicang will return the hospitality when six Spartans and chaperones will travel to our sister city in China . It is hoped this will become a model for continued exchanges for our students and our two cities.
