Sept 21 - Sept 25, 2026

We have school Monday through Thursday this week, 7:40 - 2:50 daily.

Students should be in their seats in the classroom by 7:40, so plan to have them to school by 7:30 am.

Entering the school building at 7:40 is still tardy.

It takes some time to walk from the school entrance to classrooms, and the car rider line gets long starting at 7:25, so please plan accordingly.

These two ladies have received positive office referrals for their thoughtfulness. We are so happy to have students such as these on our NCHS campus! More students will be spotlighted next week!

Thursday, September 24 will be Picture Day for underclassmen. Come dressed for the occasion!

Students identified as Multilingual Learners / English Learners and their families are invited to attend a family night at NCHS on Thursday, September 24, 5:30 - 6:30 pm. Mrs. Mitchell and Mr. Diaz from the high school and Mrs. Greko and Mrs. Cruz from the middle school will be there to share information with families. They will provide beverages and light snacks.

Date: Sept 24, 5:30 pm

Where: Rooms 1134, 1132 at NCHS

Each day, students are required to attend Red Devil Success (RDS) 10:40 - 11:20 and we typically follow the same schedule:

Monday - 1st period

Tuesday - 2nd period

Wednesday - 3rd period

Thursday - 4th period

Friday - Homeroom

These are all required attendance periods and not free periods for students to go to alternate locations unless the two relevant teachers have spoken about it and given permission. Many students are being written up for not going to their RDS locations, resulting in an ISS consequence. Homeroom is important as well because information is given to students that they would not receive otherwise. For example, picture day information, ACT preparation information, and Honor Cards were given out last week.

Cell phones are only permitted BEFORE 7:40, during class changes, lunch, and after school. Students should put their phones up in the pocket charts in each classroom upon arrival and/or when directed by the teachers. Having a cell phone out during class without permission results in disciplinary actions for insubordination, which is 1 day of ISS. Students who refuse to put their phones up may also receive this same consequence.

Ticketing of unauthorized cars began last week. Each day a student parks on campus without a pass, a $10 ticket will be issued. Parking passes are not transferable.

To save time, complete this form prior to arriving at the school and ask your child/student to bring in their driver's license. They will need to know their license plate numbers. Copies will also be available on-site.

Students with a single online class during 2nd or 3rd periods are not allowed to leave campus. They must attend their assigned classes according to their schedules. This has been communicated to students in multiple different ways during the past few weeks. Leaving campus given these circumstances results in a disciplinary consequence of up to 2 days OSS on their first offense.

All students who need to sign out from school for medical appointments, etc. should report to the front office to sign out. Students should not leave early from school from any other door than the front door near the office.

It is important that students attend as many school days as possible, so please plan your vacations around the school day and testing calendars below. Click on the linked words "School Calendar" and "Testing Schedule" to get more information about the schedules.
