Financial Aid Forms
Now Available
This is a reminder that financial aid forms are now available online at http://www.ndhsb.org/Admissions/financial_res.html.
For hard copies of these Financial Aid forms, please contact the Business office at 650-595-1913, ext. 230. Please note that you have to apply for financial aid annually for eligibility.
All forms need to be received by February 5, 2010.
Families applying for financial aid need to file their tax returns early and follow the proper instructions and timelines for consideration and eligibility on your financial aid. Because of the school's limited financial aid, resources will be awarded to those who submitted their complete applications on time.

Attention Freshman Parents and NDHS Freshmen
 Thank you to those freshman parents who
attended either "The Truth About Drinking" or "The Truth About
Drugs" presentation.
Thank you also to those of you who had your freshman daughter accompany
you. Per your request, attached is the resource guide page that Mrs.
Calamba included in her presentation to you. When Mrs. Calamba returns
from maternity leave, freshmen will have the opportunity to view
either or both of the documentaries. If you did not attend either of the
presentations (September 28 or October 5), we ask that you complete an online
course found at http://www.thecommunityofconcern.org/elearning/default.asp.
Please click on: "get started" under "E-learning" and follow the directions to complete the six
sections of the online presentation. You will need to print certificates of
completion after each section and send them to Mrs. Hutchins by December 7 in
order for your daughter to be eligible to attend the Winter Formal at the end
of January. If your daughter is NOT planning to attend the formal, we ask
that you complete the course as part of your expected partnership with the school. Please do not hesitate to call Mrs. Hutchins should you
have any questions (650 595-1913, ext. 205).

No Woman Left Behind
DATE: November 24, 2009
TIME: 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
LOCATION: Carlmont High School
Performing Arts
Theater
ADMISSION: Free
 Shelley Bustamante, a therapist at Carlmont High
School, is organizing a presentation to inform and educate parents, students,
and professionals about the occurrence of sexual assault of females at
private parties.
In most cases, the victim is unsupervised and too
intoxicated to defend herself. Our keynote speaker is Lauren Chief Elk, one of Carlmont's SOS students, who has appeared on KGO, ABC
20/20, KPIX, AND KRON and currently works at Rape Trauma Services.
Lauren will discuss the incident at De Anza College when
she and her soccer teammate rescued a 17 year-old high school student who was being
raped by members of the baseball team.
You will also hear personal stories of Carlmont students and receive strategies and tips for parents who are hosting parties or allowing
their children to attend parties.
