How do I report a student absence?
If there is a need to be absent, please call 507-663-0616 or use the NHS Student Absence Form. The link for attendance reporting is also be linked on the NHS website. If your student is ill, please provide symptoms within your message. This is a 24-hour voicemail system. Thank you!
Dear NHS Students, Families and Staff:
There will be no school for students on Friday, November 1st and Monday, November 4th due to teacher preparation days for grading and the beginning of 2nd quarter. We have completed the first quarter of the 2024-25 school year. All grades will be posted by 4:00 pm on Tuesday November 5th. Please view family access app for grade reporting.
As we reflect on the first quarter of the school year, we much to celebrate. We re-shaped Family Engagement Days, brought back Parent-Teacher Conferences, and rebooted a cellphone/device plan to support a more focused learning environment. In the coming weeks, I plan to share a parent/caregiver survey to help us gather feedback on how the plan is working from a parent perspective. We will survey our students at the end of next week as well. We will use the data to make informed decisions about the plan.
As I reflect on the first quarter, I am incredibly proud of our students' level of focus, their pursuit of excellence in the classroom, on the stage and on the playing field. I am anxious to share our attendance rates for quarter 1 and results from the cellphone/device plan survey later this month. Our sports teams have had a tremendous fall with many state tournament appearances and Big 9 Championships.
Again, no school on Friday, November 1 or Monday, November 4th due to teacher grading and preparation days for 2nd quarter. Please take the time to exercise your vote on Tuesday, November 5th. Thank you for your continued support and confidence in the NHS team's capacity to serve in the honorable role as educators in your child's life.
It is a great day to be a Raider!
Sincerely,
Shane Baier
NHS Principal
