NBPS_YAAG 2020-2021

Each year we are thrilled to welcome new students and families into the North Broward Prep community! As such, we’ve compiled a list of resources that will help new fami- lies thrive at NBPS. Middle School Success Academy Middle School Success Academy provides a fun and infor- mative orientation experience for new North Broward Prep middle school students. It’s designed to break the ice and get students excited about kicking off the new school year. This is a mandatory orientation for all students new to the Middle School, including current NBP students entering sixth grade. This year’s Middle School Success Academy will take place Friday, August 21. For additional questions regarding Success Academy, please contact: Middle School Office Carmen Mendez Carmen.Mendez@nbps.org 954.247.0011 ext. 301 High School Link Crew Orientation Link Crew is a student-driven program that connects Ju- niors and Seniors with freshmen new students to introduce them to the High School. These Juniors and Seniors, called Link Leaders, are a mix of all aspects of North Broward Prep perfectly suited to help new students because THEY were those new students. Link Leaders reach out to new stu- dents in the summer before school even starts to introduce themselves and answer any questions they might have. Having the correct contact information for the students is super important. This step allows new students to have a name and relationship with someone before they even get on campus. Everything culminates at New Student Orientation. This is a day-long welcome to the NB community. The goal is that students connect with other members of the NBPS com- munity and have a connection to other students they know and can go to for help. This year’s Link Crew event will take place on August 21 . iPads All students in the Upper School will have an iPad assigned to them after participating in a mandatory training. (A par- ent must attend the training as well.) For Middle School or High School students who are coming to NBP for the first time or who are starting sixth or ninth grade, please sched- ule your appointment with Alex Podchaski through nbps.org/ipadtraining.

Students worry about making friends, keeping up with their coursework, and even finding their classrooms. And us parents have our own worries too! The NB-PA is committed to helping ease the transition to NB for both students and their parents. The Parent Ambassador Program brings new NBP parents together with returning parents from the same division. The Parent Ambassadors answer questions, provide helpful hints and other pearls of wisdom to the incoming families. If you have any questions regarding the Parent Ambassador Program, or if you are a new parent and have not received a call from your Parent Ambassador, please feel free to con- tact Melissa Schneider, NB-PA VP of New Family Relations at nb-pafamilyrelations@nbps.org. MAKE YOUR LIFE A MASTERPIECE, IMAGINE NO LIMITATIONS ON WHAT YOU CAN BE, HAVE OR DO. – BRIAN TRACY
