On October 15, 2025, Northern Burlington will electronically solicit the US Department of Education's Federal Impact Aid Student-Parent Survey Form for the 2025-2026 School Year. This form will be available through PowerSchool’s parent portal. This survey is important and determines the amount of Federal Impact Aid the district receives. Consequently, this form, one for each student, needs to be completed and submitted by you (student’s parent/guardian/sponsor) by Friday, October 31, 2025.

Beginning on October 15, 2025 you will not be able to access your child(ren)’s grades until the survey form is completed so, please keep your eye out for this electronic survey form on October 15th. Thank you!

We’re excited to announce that Northern's Winter Sports Registration is now open!

Students are required to complete online registration for each sport, every season (Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring) - Middle School Athletics page on the website https://www.nburlington.com/o/nbc-ms/page/middle-school-athletics-home

Please plan accordingly, there is a window of up to three weeks to be cleared administratively from the nurse's office and by the school medical inspector.

Each student-athlete must submit a Doctor-Approved Preparticipation Physical Evaluation Medical Eligibility Form – this form is valid for 1 year from the date of physical.

The week of October 6 is the statewide observance of Week of Respect. This is a time when all schools in New Jersey take time to engage with the students to encourage positive behavior between students and reduce (and hopefully eliminate) bullying. As part of the observance, the students in the middle school will have different activities during homeroom. To accommodate the activities, homeroom will be longer than normal during this week. The activities for the week can be found HERE.

We will also be having dress up themes for each day in which students are invited to participate.

Is your child in need of academic support? Members of the High School National Honors Society provide tutoring to all Northern Burlington students. Middle School students can attend tutoring after school on Mondays and Wednesdays beginning on September 24 in the Greyhound Learning Center. Interested students simply need to sign up during their lunch period.

Please join us at the Taco Bell located at 85 Fort Dix Street, in Wrightstown. When? Friday, September 26th, 2025! You can dine in or take out! It could be for lunch or dinner. This is a half day at Northern, and no lunch will be served. This will be a nice lunch option and 20% of the proceeds go to the Band Programs at Northern!! Please remember to mention the fundraiser or show flyer(printed or digital) on the day of the fundraiser. Hope to see you there and please spread the word to family, friends, neighborhoods and everyone!

September is quickly progressing and it would be ideal to try and balance the demands and obligations that are starting to pile up as students settle into the school year. Anxiety usually plays a role in this process. Encouraging your teen to verbalize what may be overwhelming them can help reduce the amount of anxiety they are feeling. Rephraming a negative statement such as “I am going to fail this test” to “ I am capable of doing my best on this test” can make a big difference. Focusing on what can be controlled such as preparation and effort can also help. Incorporating relaxation and mindfulness by practicing deep breathing, journaling and taking short breaks to listen to music or just stepping away for 10 minutes can help your teen be more productive. There is always the old-fashioned list too that works to calm anxiety as you cross things off. There is no right or wrong to whatever method or combination you choose, sometimes just switching into action mode instead of spinning your wheels does the trick.
