We are dedicated to providing NBE students with the best learning environment possible. While we are excited to welcome volunteers into our classrooms, we will continue to put student safety and student learning at the forefront of all that we do.

To provide staff the time to. build student relationships, get beginning of the year items completed/organized, and set routines, we will not be accepting parent volunteers until October (thank you for your understanding). Your child's classroom teacher(s) will communicate out whether she/he is in need of parent volunteers.

To be a volunteer, there are a few things a parent must do. The process starts with potential volunteers completing a Central Registry Clearance form. You must have clearance before you can volunteer in the building.

With the safety and security of our students being of utmost importance, all volunteers in the building during the school day must wear a visitor badge, be pre-scheduled with the teacher, and check in and out through the office. Failure to do any of these may jeopardize a volunteer's ability to continue volunteering.

Just as we have for the last several years, we welcome BK, K and 1st grade families into the building for the first two weeks of school. The building will be open from 8:20-8:35, with school starting at 8:42. At 8:42 students start their educational day. Beyond the first two weeks, NBE will be drop-off only. Parents may pull through ands drop students off in the circle drive (see visual below) or may park in one of the parking lots and walk students to the door.

We ask that parents remain in the hallways during morning drop-off and reserve classroom space for our bronco learners.

*Please note - the only students permitted in the building prior to 8:20 are those in out FABS Daycare Program.

Please click on the image to the left to access school supply lists for the 2024-2025 school year. Teachers work diligently to make sure that everything on the list is necessary and will be utilized - which is why there are multiple lists. We realize, especially in the older grades, this means that you will have to wait until you know your child's teaching assignment in August to buy everything, though many lists have common items. Back-to-school sales usually begin in July. If you need help with supplies (including backpacks) please reach out to the office this summer during our business hours.

Each year we thoroughly evaluate the needs of our students, with safety and security being the utmost importance. Through careful consideration, NBE will no longer be a nut restricted building. There will be classrooms that will be nut restricted for snacks and treats that are consumed in them, and those classrooms will have clear communication from teachers. The lunch room will have nut restricted areas to accommodate the health needs of any students during lunch.

FAQ:

Can my child bring nut products in their lunch? Yes, all students may - even those in a nut restricted classroom.

Can my child bring nut products as a snack? Yes, unless they are in a nut restricted classroom.

What can my child bring for a birthday/classroom treat? All treats must be store purchased and be sealed upon delivery - individually packaged is prefered. Please note that birthday treats brought into a nut restricted classroom will need to be nut free.

My child has a food allergy (nut or otherwise), what should I do? Please reach out to our school nurse.
