Three Napoleon High School students, Ethan Hays, Jocelyn Miller, and James Perdue (not pictured), presented their research at the 12th Annual High School miRcore Research Conference at the University of Michigan on Saturday, April 19th. They shared their work, titled "Modeling key neuropathological features of late-onset Alzheimer’s disease," with a panel of esteemed scientists. Their research explored the proteins within the cytokine signaling pathway and their potential contribution to Late-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease. Congratulations to Ethan, Jocelyn, and James!
Way to GO PIRATES!!
The Napoleon High School Advanced Chemistry class visited the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University. FRIB is a world-leading user facility that enables scientists to create and examine short-lived isotopes to understand nuclear structure, nuclear astrophysics, and fundamental interactions. The facility's powerful heavy-ion accelerator allows for the production of a wide range of rare isotopes, expanding our knowledge of the nuclear chart and potentially leading to applications in medicine, materials science, and national security. Students had the opportunity to witness cutting-edge science in action and learn about the fascinating world of nuclear physics.

Spanish students have been learning about theTarragona Human Tower Competition, also known as the Concurs de Castells. A biannual festival held in Tarragona, Spain, where teams of castellers (tower builders) compete to create the tallest and most complex human towers. Mr. Marshall's Spanish 1 students built towers with plastic cups (using actual students seemed like an accident waiting to happen). They competed against each other to see who could build the tallest tower!

HS Testing Reminder:
This is a reminder that tomorrow, April 10, all juniors will be taking the WorkKeys exam and all Freshmen will be taking the PSAT 9. All busing is running at normal times, however, ONLY 10th and 12th grade students are to stay home. This is a Virtual Day! This means students must check their email and Google Classroom for classwork. Freshmen will be released after testing is completed which will be about 10:30-11AM! Junior's test is longer and will be released around 11am. Please have a plan for pick up. Students will not have access to phones during testing so it is very important that you do not contact your student during that time. All testing this week is a Michigan State requirement for graduation, so your student's performance and attendance is very important to us. This test is online and students will need to bring their assigned Chromebook to school with a full charge. It is important to make sure if your student is testing that they are well rested and have a healthy breakfast to start their day. We thank you for all your help in making this testing experience a good one. We will return to business as usual on Friday!

Attention ALL HS Napoleon Families -
In preparation of State testing next week, the high school will be having a Digital Readiness Check tomorrow, April 3rd, during 5th period. All 9-11 graders will report to their assigned testing room and will need their CHARGED CHROMEBOOK to complete the digital readiness check as well as exam set-up. ALL SENIORS should attend as well with their charged Chromebook! During that time we plan to have Jorge Rodriguez here to help students complete their senior exit surveys, finish the Sigmund Scholarship application, and answer any questions seniors may have regarding their next steps.
It is critical that your student be here not only for the check tomorrow but also next week during testing. You should have received a letter from Kim King on Feb. 27 giving the details of all testing days. All testing next week is online and we must check that student's Chromebooks are ready.
Please contact Kim King if you know any Chromebook issues. These need to be reported and fixed before test day.
Thank you!

ATTENTION CAREER CENTER STUDENTS:
JACC will be starting a huge campus renovation and site work, which will have a direct impact on students arriving and departing from the Career Center. Essentially, all arrivals and departures will take place in the student parking lot (Lot E) starting on May 13th. They will be splitting the parking lot to keep separation between busses and cars to avoid any potential incidents.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Jackson Area Career Center if you have any questions.
Happy World Down Syndrome Day! Staff and students wore crazy socks to support Jax Shell! Miss Pence also collected over 170 pairs of CHILDREN'S SOCKS to DONATE to Mott Children's Hospital.
