Community News Letter
We REACH for Excellence!
Happy Holidays, Nob Hill Families!
As we prepare for winter break, we want to extend our heartfelt appreciation for your continued support of our students, staff, and school community. We are grateful for each of our families and the many ways you partner with us throughout the year.
We also recognize that this season looks different for everyone, and not all families celebrate holidays in the same way—or at all. No matter how you spend this time, we hope the upcoming break provides rest, connection, and moments of joy for you and your loved ones.
Thank you for being an essential part of the Nob Hill community. We look forward to welcoming our students back in the new year!
Faith Based Organizations
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Alliance Church and Living Faith Victory Center for their incredible support of our staff, students, and community. Through their partnership, they bring many opportunities to Nob Hill, and we truly appreciate all they do to uplift and enrich our school community.
Right at School Winter Camp
Right at School Winter Camp at McClure Elementary!
We’re excited to share that Right at School, our before- and after-school program, will be offering a Winter Camp during our upcoming winter break at McClure Elementary!
This is a great opportunity for students to enjoy fun activities, stay engaged, and make new memories while school is out.
For more information or to register, please visit: RASCAMPS.com/winter
We hope your child can join in the winter fun! ❄️✨
After School Dismissal
Please help us keep all students safe during pick-up and drop-off. We are asking that no cars park in any areas marked in red on the map. These areas are restricted to ensure students do not cross the street without using a designated crosswalk.
Additionally, the employee parking lot on 32nd Ave is not a pick-up location. This lot is reserved for staff and for two of our buses, and we need to keep it clear for their use. Thank you for being respectful to our staff and other families during this busy time of day, and for helping us keep dismissal efficient and safe for all Nob Hill students and families!
If you have any questions, please reach out to the office.
Lost and Found and Labeling Clothes
As the weather gets colder, we want to remind families to please label your student’s hats, gloves, coats, and sweatshirts with their name. This simple step helps us return lost items quickly and prevents our Lost and Found from overflowing.
We do not have enough space to hold all unclaimed clothing, and an excessive amount of items can create safety concerns in our building. To help manage this, we donate unclaimed Lost and Found items to Goodwill at the end of each month. Before we donate, we will send a ParentSquare reminder so families have a chance to check for missing items.
We will be making our next donation on December 19, so please take a moment to check our Lost and Found before then.
