Welcome to the 2006-2007 school year.

September 7, 2006

Using the Hidden Valley Rd. Entry and Exit – When dropping off or picking up in the lane next to the sidewalk, drive as far forward as possible.  Do not stop at the steps.  When picking up, if a child is delayed in coming down, pull out and come around again.

Volunteering - Let us know the days and hours you are available.  This should help us make better use of your volunteer time.  Immediate needs:

• Office helpers
• Classroom helpers
• Harvest festival preparation helpers
• Landscape helpers or Custodial helpers
• Lunchroom helpers – information meeting this coming Monday at 8:05 a.m.

School Directory – The Parent Directory will be distributed soon.  If you do not want your family information included in it, e-mail sharong@nhcs.us immediately, or phone the office.  Sorry, we lost record of one parent who had requested information to be left out, so we are starting over again.
