Patch likes to start off the school year with five reminders and new things to keep in mind for parents and students. This academic year in Great Neck, we have news that we regret to report. Christopher Deeks, North High's head football and lacrosse coach passed away suddenly on Thursday evening. The cause of his death at age 60 was a heart attack. So sadly, the first announcement of this school year is the obituary for.
Here are five other things parents and students ought to know this September:
1. The South High Senior Parent Meeting will take place at the school on Sept. 11 at 7:30p.m.
2. The South High Senior photo will take place the next day, Sept. 12, at 9:30 a.m.
3. The 2012-2013 school lunch menus are now available online.
4. Jenna Goudrea of Forbes magazine has put together an excellent back-to-school piece on how parents can educate their own children to be financially savvy.
5. If you're looking for child care after school, the Great Neck elementary schools are offering after school programs at low cost. You can read more about it here.
