See below for information about our Holiday Help program!
All Students - Writer's Club kicked off on Thursday, October 17th and our young authors are already hard at work on their spooky stories and honing their creative writing skills. We are so proud of their enthusiasm and dedication! It's not too late to join! Students can grab a permission slip from the office and bring it back signed to join. Writer's Club is held on Thursdays after school from 4-5 in room 1305. Please reach out to Ms. Secrest with any questions.
All Students - Study Tables are after school every Wednesday from 4:10 to 5:10PM. This free after school tutoring provides students with one-on-one help and/or a quiet space to complete new or missing assignments. Permission slips for Norton Study Tables are available in the office, and need to be returned before students are allowed to attend. Students will need to be picked up no later than 5:15, or be able to walk home. Please see/email Ms. Pencek with any questions.
All Students - Art Club meets on Tuesdays after school. It is for serious art students who would like additional time for artmaking and learning more about the creative process. Students will have the opportunity to explore with independent studies as well as work collaboratively with other artists. It will give them extra time, supplies, and inspiration to make art. They meet in Room 2113, Tuesdays after school, from 4:15-5:15PM. Any Norton student may join! Permission slips can be printed from our school website or stop by to see Ms. Badger in 2113. Students cannot stay for a meeting until they have turned in a signed permission slip.

Keep your Infinite Campus Parent Portal information updated to get text, phone, and email updates!
Infinite Campus (IC) is the District’s Internet-based student information system. Important features of IC are the Parent Portal and NEW Mobile App. Through the IC tools, parents are able to access their child’s information, such as class schedules, attendance, academic reports, transportation information, coursework, and put funds in their child’s food service account online. Parents can also designate how and where they wish to receive emergency communications, attendance calls, general announcement messages, and e-mail messages from teachers, the school, and the school district. New accounts need an Activation Key. The district will mail those out in August, so save the letter if you need to create a new account.
To create an IC account, please go to: https://sites.google.com/swcsd.us/parentresources/infinite-campus/parent-portal-mobile-app
If you already have an IC account, please update your emergency contact information at: https://sites.google.com/swcsd.us/parentresources/infinite-campus/online-emergency-information-submission
