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.
School Book Buyback

GolfBannerSenior Book buyback - June 1
Graduating seniors can sell back their used books after their Class Day Assembly on Tuesday, June 1, the day before Graduation.  Seniors will sell back their books in the Soda Fountain. Buyback hours will be from Noon to 5:00 p.m. in the Soda Fountain.
 
All School Book Buyback - June 2
Students in any class can sell back their textbooks after on June 2 in the Small Gymnasium from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. We will have extra staff for the buyback this year.  Lines should move quickly.

Summer Reading

The English and Social Sciences Departments have posted the summer reading assignments for all classes on their department pages on the school web site.   Should you have difficulty locating Summer Reading selections at local bookstores, all Summer Reading books will be available for purchase through VarsityBooks.com beginning May 24, 2010.
Final Examination Schedule Review Days
 
Final Examinations begin on Tuesday, May 25 to Friday, May 28,  2010!  Please refer the Parent Student Handbook for all policies regarding Final Examinations (pp. 25-26)  As we did for first semester, we hope our students take advantage of attending the optional student study day on Monday, May 24 as teachers will provide time for class tutoring.  This day is especially beneficial for students to also gather with friends to form study partners in preparation for final examinations. The day ends for students at 12:00 p.m.  Remember: May 24 is optional attendance for students!

Congratulations Class of 2010
by Rita Gleason '66, Principal

Nothing gives me greater pride in the accomplishment of our students than congratulating seniors on their acceptances into college and universities throughout the country. Whether our alumnae eventually attend these schools depends on many factors not the least of which is cost. However, having achieved admission into excellent schools such as these is in itself the result of excellent and competitive educational programs, engaging and competent teachers, supportive and involved parents, and diligent and focused students.

I share this partial listing of acceptances for the Class of 2010 which will be updated weekly:

  • Georgetown University
  • New York University
  • University of Southern California
  • Pitzer College
  • DePaul University
  • University of Washington
  • Marquette University

  • Lewis and Clark College
  • Clemson University
  • St. John's University
