Dear Families:

Please see the latest updates below as of 12-2-2021:

Events:

December 16 Drive up Photos with Santa @ 3:15 – 4:15

December 17 - 3    Winter Break (No School)

Drive-up photos with Santa will be available on the 16th @ 3:15 – 4:15 pm after school in the parking lot. A complimentary photo will be provided, but more can be ordered for a fee upon request.

Health & Safety:

Please continue to monitor your student for symptoms each morning before putting them on the bus. Note that they must have a mask on before boarding the bus. If two students in a room test positive for COVID, the classroom will move to remote learning. If two classrooms are closed in a wing (ELEM or MS) it will be moved to remote learning only for at least a week.

Bullying:

We currently have a “no violence” policy. If your student is involved in a physical altercation, you will be called into the school for a conference. Please also be sure your student does not bring anything to school that could be considered a weapon, or an illegal substance. These items will be confiscated and you will be notified immediately. 

Meals:

Please remember that all students receive breakfast, fresh fruit/vegetables & lunch at no charge here at school. If you do send your student with food, please remember that nuts are not allowed in the building due to several students with life threatening allergies. This includes peanut butter.

Remote/Quarantine Homework:

All students will continue to have a chromebook and hotspot available for learning all year long. Refer to our website www.nsdeagles.org for your student’s class page. Their teacher will give you links & passwords for academic programs used in their grade. If your student’s class is in full quarantine, your teacher will contact you & provide zooms each day in addition to the online resources. If teachers are allowed in the building (per the DOH) packets will be available for pick-up each week on Tuesdays & Thursdays as well. Please let your student’s teacher know if you are missing a chromebook.

Communication: 

Communication folders will come with your child each Thursday. Please read the material each week and return the folder with the student on each Monday. If school is closed, you will be notified via Robo-call. Please note that this will also mean that all sports are closed for that period as well.

Sports:

Wrestling practice starts January 4th for 6th – 8thgrade boys & girls. Please have your student’s paperwork in ASAP. Students need to be in school all day to be eligible for practice and games. Further, if your student is not vaccinated, they must be tested for COVID twice a week here at the school per WIAA rules. All of the meets are scheduled to be out of town, starting January 14th.

Employment:

We have several vacant positions. We are in need of two Teachers, a Nursing Assistant, and a paraeducator. Also, we are always accepting applications for substitute Teachers, Secretaries, Bus Drivers, Kitchen Staff & Paraeducators. Please let us know if you or someone you know has any interest in these positions. For more information, please look at our website.

Sincerely,
