SCHEDULE CHANGE ALERT 
Attention Everyone!


In order to keep the number of course meetings even (because of holidays frequently landing on Mondays), we are switching A days and B days this week - that's the week starting tomorrow, which is the Tuesday after the Labor Day holiday.  


For this week only, please follow the following schedule:


Tuesday, Sept. 6, is an A Day:
Block 1A: 8:30-10
Block 2A: 10:10-11:40
Block 3A: 12:30-2
Block 4A: 2:10-3:40
 
Wednesday, September 7 is a B Day:

BACK-TO-SCHOOL NIGHT SCHEDULE CHANGES
One More Important Announcement

Regarding Scheduled Events for This Week!


As you may know, our "Back-to-School Night" for all NoHo families was scheduled to take place this coming Wednesday evening, September 7. However, we've made the decision to POSTPONE "Back-To-School Night"  for two weeks until 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, September 21, mostly because we still have new enrollees arriving nearly every day, thus many of our course scheduling tasks are still in motion.  


HOWEVER, the mandatory (which means "IMPORTANT, DON'T MISS IT!") evening for all 12th graders AND their folks -- that's "All About the Class of '17" -- is still happening 7 p.m. this coming Wednesday evening, September 7, in NoHo's Studio. This meeting is for any senior who is planning to apply to four-year colleges this fall, which are indeed most '17'ers.  


NoHo's vital college applications instructions, policies and procedures will be presented by Anne, as well as some very basic information about year-end seniors' events (graduation, grad night, Prom). If all goes well, there will be ample time for questions to be answered at the presentation's conclusion.  


Again, ALL SENIORS AND AT LEAST ONE PARENT/GUARDIAN should attend. Anne will do her very best to end the program at 8:30 p.m. -- it's extremely packed with key information. However, audience members' questions tend to make it run longer.  
MUSIC PROGRAM SEEKS INTRUMENT DONATIONS


Our Music Program Needs Donations of Instruments.
Would Be Much Obliged! 
 
The NoHo studio/classroom needs acoustic guitars and electric basses.
 
undefined Also, an extremely worthy music learner in our NoHo program needs a set of drums. Each fall, facilitator Chuck Cochran extends a long-term loan of a drum set to a chosen learner who shows promise and desire, and who uses it to practice at home. Last year one set was loaned out, and now that same learner has become a more skilled and experienced drummer... and he's passing along that set to someone else. Now we need a second set in order to help yet another enthusiastic learner!  
 
Please contact Chuck, and he'll be more than happy to pick up from you chuck.cochran@ileadnoho.org; call or text his cell:
(818) 438-1395.
SCHEDULE CHANGE REMINDER 
An Important Message Regarding Course Schedule Changes: 
Please be advised that the hard deadline for submitting fall-semester schedule change requests is Friday, Sept 9.
PSAT DEADLINE SEPT. 16
Coming Soon Via Email and Next Week's Monday Message!  


Instructions are coming to you very soon that outline registration procedures for NoHo's annual administration of the PSAT/NMSQT on October 19! The registration period will OPEN next Monday, September 12, and will CLOSE on Friday, September 16 at 1 p.m..  No extensions, no exceptions!  


Keep an eye on your email... Check out next week's Monday Message. By the way...The PSAT is for sophomores and juniors only! Too late for seniors, and a bit too early for freshmen. Also...NMSQT stands for National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Only juniors' scores qualify for consideration. Sophomores take it as a practice run!
AT THE NOHO SITE -- COMING AND GOING POLICY 
Learners arriving late (which means after their first course of the day has begun) must sign in via the binder in the main office and complete the indicated information. 


If a learner is being picked up to leave early (missing an academic period), an authorized parent/guardian must walk into NoHo's front office to complete sign-out procedures.


If a learner does not have a 4th-period course, he/she may leave NoHo upon completion of 3rd period without signing out. If same learner chooses to remain on campus, he/she must stay in The Commons (the front patio). 
PIZZA REV FUNDRAISERS
Support A GREAT Cause at Pizza Rev!
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16 -- TWO PIZZA REV fundraisers. MENTION Parents In Partnership-iLEADNoHo at Pizza Rev Studio City OR Van Nuys and donations will be made to iLEAD NoHo via PIP.
IEP AND 504 ALERT 
For Parents/Guardians of Learners with IEPs and 504s


Ms. Cross is in the process of garnering approval to request accommodations for your learner. This will NOT happen automatically. Please email her at lilian.cross@ileadnoho.org, indicating for which tests your learner needs accommodations, and what dates your learner plans to take the test(s). Accommodations are not automatically provided, and must be approved by the appropriate private organization itself, so please complete this task ASAP. Thank you!
