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.

During the 2025–2026 school year, students will participate in a variety of standardized assessments. These assessments are mandated by the State of New Jersey, and based on the courses that the student is enrolled in.

Linked below is a chart outlining the standardized tests scheduled for this school year. Please note that the chart is for informational purposes only.

If you have any questions regarding the assessments or the information provided, please do not hesitate to contact your student’s school counselor.

Middle School Standardized Testing Information for the 25-26 School Year

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.

Anchored4Life is a peer-led club that helps build coping skills and resilience, fostering strong connections among members and with the community. Anchored4Life is hosting a book drive to give back to the community. The collection will take place throughout the entire month of October. Please see the flyer below.

If you have not already done so, please complete a new lunch application for the 2025-2026 school year. Your child's lunch status remains the same eligibility from last year for free or reduced- price meals but will expire on 10/20/2025 unless a new application has been submitted prior to this date.

You can still reapply for benefits for this school year by completing the online application found at

https://mealapp.lunchtimesoftware.net/Default.aspx or turning in a paper application directly to the school. If you are not eligible for benefits now, but have a decrease in household income, become unemployed, or have an increase in household size, you may fill out an application at that time, to reapply for benefits.

If you have any questions, please contact Jill Markley 609-298-3900 X2003.
