HAWK WEEKLY Volume 3, Issue 16 November 16, 2015

A Note from the Superintendent

CHOCOLATE SALE IS HERE NVMI is holding an important fund raiser starting THIS WEEK. Students are

invited to sell World’s Finest Chocolate. They MAY NOT sell on the

NVMI/SVHS campus, but they may sell at home and in the community. There

are great prizes available. Students must have parent permission to sell. Please consider

helping us sell chocolate. Complete the parent permission form and your child will pick up

the chocolate from Dr. Ryan’s office window AFTER SCHOOL from 3:35-4:45 every day.

Please remember --- students may not sell on the SVHS Campus at any time. They should

turn in their monies to the collection point at the INSPECTION GATE each morning.

Students should NOT hold money on their person on campus; that’s why we have the

inspection gate collection point in operation each morning from 0645-0745.

A reminder about Saturday School Saturday School operates from 0730-1230. If your child finishes

Saturday School early, and they are dismissed by Ms. Stribling, they

may go home early. No one is every here past 12:30 pm, so parents are

asked to be sure there is a transportation plan for their children at 12:30

pm on Saturdays when they have been assigned Saturday School.

NVMI is very pleased to start offering COLLEGE classes from Mission College on our

campus. The first of these will be Psychology 101, offered for five weeks from January 4 –

February 4, 2016 (Monday through Thursday) from 3:45-6:15. Classes are COMPLETELY

FREE, including no fee for the textbook. All high school students at NVMI (and NVMI

parents) are welcome to take the class. To sign up, please contact Ms. Tejada a

ktejada@novamil.org. Beginning in February, we will offer Earth Science and Art History

courses – again FREE OF CHARGE. Stay tuned for details about those courses. This is an

amazing opportunity for our students. Students who are particularly hard working over the

next couple of years can actually GRADUATE FROM NVMI HIGH SCHOOL WITH AN

ASSOCIATES DEGREE!

SCHOOL PHONES We are aware of the challenges sometimes faced when trying to call the

school office. Please realize we do not have a physical phone in the main

office other than cell phones. So when people are calling the school

number, it is ringing on multiple cell phones simultaneously. If you ever

have difficulty reaching us, please simply call my cell phone directly at

323-217-4481 and even if I do not answer, I promise I will return the phone call as soon as

humanly possible. It is also a good idea to try to email school staff if you have questions.

SPELL-A-THON PRIZES: THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the Spell-A-Thon. All

DONATIONS: NVMI needs your help to offset a budget deficit. Specifically, we need donations of both CASH and various items. Here are some things to consider.

1. NVMI provides more than $250 of free uniform items to each child each year. You would normally

have to pay for school clothes for your child, so if you are able to do so, please give us all or a

portion of that $250 in a donation to help our budget.

2. NVMI provides an amazing and very robust counseling staff ratio most schools do not provide.

Please consider donating cash to help pay for our counselors!

3. EVERY NVMI child participates in athletics in various forms, including intramurals and

interscholastic. NVMI pays more than $77,000 a year for our athletic program. Please consider

donating to help with those costs.

4. WE PAY ABOUT $200 a week in Xerox paper alone! We need donations of cases of white 8.5X11

inch copy paper. Literally, more than 5000 reams or 25,000,000 sheets of paper are used by NVMI

in a year. If you are at Staples or Office Depot or Walmart or Target and can pick up copy paper,

please do so and bring it to the main office right away.

5. We also need donations of other office supplies:

6. IF YOUR CHILD TAKES THE BUS: NVMI is paying over $250,000 a year for free bus transportation. If you are able to donate to help cover those costs, please send some cash to help with those expenses.

All donations are tax deductible and we will give you a tax donation letter. Bring items (with receipts so we know how much to give you credit for) or cash to the main office in an envelope with your name, child’s name, student ID#, grade, and company. We will give you a tax donation receipt within two business days of turning in the items or cash.
