If you are planning on coming to support our student athletes please know that all events in the stadium will be charged admission.

NEHS is still experiencing problems with the implementation of credit and debit cards electronically at sporting events for admission. The poor cell service has made consistent and efficient use problematic. Please continue to be prepared to pay cash just in case this service is not working on any particular game day.

We do not allow backpacks, pets, or outside food (when we offer concessions). Any student under high school age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. In addition, once you leave the event, you may not return. There is no smoking or vaping anywhere on school property regardless of age.

NEHS AVID team will meet at the end of April to review all AVID elective applications. Students that are accepted will hear from a member of our AVID team with a welcome letter and some AVID swag.

Questions about your application can be directed to Ms. Pucci at gpucci@ccps.org

We are urging our families to please send the school notes for the days their student is absent. Our attendance secretary is Ms. Cara Reeves, and her email is cmreeves@ccps.org.

As a reminder, a request to ride a different bus home or to school is reserved for emergencies and will need approval of administration. If you are requesting permission for your child to ride another bus, please follow the steps below:

· A written note from both parents indicating the reason for the request

· Please include your phone number on the note

· Notes must be received by noon on the day of the request

· Phone calls cannot be accepted

If you see a “Fee” in Powerschool it doesn’t represent any monetary obligation. It represents credit for students who stayed for twilight to be applied toward their attendance. One day of attendance is recouped through 2 hours of twilight school attendance.

Unfortunately, Powerschool does not have a clearer way to record and process this information. Further, at times credit toward attendance may be given to a group of students due to significant illness outbreaks, weather, or other extenuating circumstances- such as FOX 45 announcing on February 6th that Cecil County Schools are closed for the day when they are not.

We wish there was a more intuitive way to record this information and apologize for the confusion this has caused. To recap, any fee in powerschool does not represent any financial obligation, but reflects a twilight credit toward attendance.

Hello North East Families!

We are the Action Club, an organization very similar to the PTA/PTO from the elementary and middle schools. Anyone may join our club (free of charge), but we are primarily a group of parents who work together to do all that we can to support and enhance the experiences for the students, staff, and local community of North East High School (NEHS). We are here to promote NEHS’s curricular and extra-curricular support for school-wide activities in an effort to improve school spirit, provide enrichment, and develop positive student, teacher, parent, administrative, and community relationships.

2024-2025 Action Club Officers

• President-Marlena Hammen
• Vice President-Tabitha Brizuela
• Secretary-Kim Whitney
• Treasurer-Brandi McGough

Action Club Fundraisers to support our students:

• Senior Banners are on sale for $60.00.
• Yard Sign Banners are on sale for $25.00.

Next Action Club meeting will be April 15th at 6:00 pm in NEHS Career Center. If interested to join email actionclubnehs@gmail.com to receive the link.

Action Club meetings will be held the 2nd Tuesday of the Month at 6:00 pm - May 13th.

If you want to be added to our contact list to receive Action Club/school information, please email us at actionclubnehs@gmail.com. Please include your name, child’s name, grade level, and phone number, and if you have any specific task you would be interested in helping with. We are excited for a great year with NEHS. Please don't hesitate to email me if you have any questions.

Many Thanks,
