Mustang Minutes
Sharing our Nashua + Mustang PRIDE
September 6 2024
Good afternoon Mustang Families, Friends, Faculty and Students!
Our Mustang Apparel store closes on Tuesday! This is your opportunity to purchase McCarthy gear such as tees, sweatshirts, and zip ups. These orders should be in before the end of September, which is a great time to start wearing something a little warmer and cozier! There is no order form option at the school, so please make sure you get your orders in through linked picture below!
There is no school on September 10 through Nashua Schools. We have professional development for the staff! Next week, your students will be participating in their i-ready diagnostics. This online assessment gives the team an accurate understanding of your student’s strengths and areas of growth in mathematics and ELA. Many students received their chrome books today, and those who passed in their forms late will receive them on Monday. If you have not completed your student’s form, please do so below.
Our Open House is at the end of the month, and we will have a special email with the logistics of that night. With so many new faces visiting, we want to make sure you have the right amount of time allotted for your visit. For now, please save the date and time: September 26 at 6-8pm. If you are looking for an individual conversation with a team, you’ll want to reach out to them individually, as they will not be able to do that on that evening. Also, we have October Parent Teacher conferences around the corner!
Free and Reduced Lunches
The lunch debt is already on the rise and according to the Board of Education Policy we are not supposed to debit over two lunches. Here are the links below.
Families need to apply for free and reduced meal benefits each year. If you do not apply for this year, your children will lose their benefits and will have to pay for lunch. Families can apply online at www.myschoolapps.com or request a paper copy go home with your child. For more information go to https://www.nashua.edu/Page/828
Transportation Update from Central Office:
The District has a new Transportation Help Desk request form (located on the Transportation page under "Departments"). We are asking all parents/school staff to please use this mode of communication as this form will expedite responses from the Transportation Department.
In addition, the FirstView App will not be updated to reflect the 2024-25 Nashua District Transportation information by mid-September 2024. This will give our Transportation Department time to adjust/solidify bus runs and stops. We will alert you when the application is up and running with accurate data.
Thank you for your patience.
