Our Raiders took time to express their gratitude by writing a thank you message to a veteran. Some students honored the veterans in their lives by writing the veteran's name on a star.

November is Native American Heritage Month, a time to celebrate the rich and diverse cultures, histories and contributions of Native peoples. We invite you to learn more about our faculty members who proudly represent this heritage.

Veterans Day is a special day to honor and celebrate those who have served our country. Take a moment to recognize and appreciate the veterans here on our campus.

Preparing your students before they sit down with the counselors can ensure a smooth course registration process. Counselors can give the students facts about courses, but we are unable to promote courses or programs. As teachers, you are the experts of your prospective programs and courses. The input you can provide our students is invaluable.

We will complete course registrations with our students on the following dates:

11th grade- January 13-17

8th grade- January 22 & 23

10th grade- February 10-14

9th grade- February 18-25

We as educators are human beings with real life traumas and challenging circumstances in our lives outside of work. Some of us are dealing with struggles in our mental health. Reaching out for help is a superpower not a weakness. NISD has a resource that may be beneficial to you called the Employee Assistance Program (EAP). EAP can be accessed by calling The Standard 1-888-293-6948 or visiting http://members.healthadvocate.com/.
