 NDB 2010 Parent Satisfaction Survey
Dear Notre Dame Belmont Parent,
Each year, we reach
out to our parents and ask for feedback
on our performance. Your response helps guide our school improvement
process
and benefits our students, teachers, and professional staff. Last year,
over
240 parents responded to our survey. Their candid, thoughtful feedback
provided
invaluable guidance to us in many areas. I am hopeful we will hear from
even
more parents this year.
Understanding that your time is
valuable, our survey is
brief and focused. Completing it
typically takes less than 10 minutes. All feedback is
anonymous and confidential. Please respond by May 4.
Please click here to take the
survey.
Thank you very much for your help.
Sincerely,
Rita
Gleason, Principal
Notre Dame High School

From the Desk of the Assistant Principal
Dear parents,
 Notre Dame students have been authorized by the NDB WAVE
club to participate in the Pennies for Patients fundraiser, a service learning
program for elementary and secondary schools that benefits the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
Students collect funds, starting with their own spare change,
to support the research and patient services programs of LLS. Kids across the country have raised
more than $100 million since the programs started, proving that they can make a
difference in the lives of others.
WAVE members were seen in the NDB parking lot at the
beginning of school collecting donations.
Sincerely,
Carolyn Hutchins
Assistant Principal
Notre Dame High School, Belmont

NDB Awards Celebration
 In consulting with our Department
Chairs about the best time to host our Awards Celebration, it was determined
that a weeknight is probably best since many families and students have other
obligations on the weekend. The date for our Awards Celebration will be Wednesday, May
19, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. in the Moore
Pavilion. The Academic Awards
Celebration will honor students in grades 9 - 12 as was done in the
past. We look forward to this
event as a special time to recognize and acknowledge the study ethic, hard
work, and steadfast perseverance of our students. |
