Principal's Update
Dear Parents and Students
I truly hope you have had a chance to enjoy the summer break with your family and friends. Another school year is quickly approaching and the staff at NBC is preparing for the students’ return. Our staff has worked very hard over the summer to make sure everything is ready for the students’ arrival. As you get ready for the first day please keep a few things in mind:
**The front doors open at 7:25 and class starts at 7:40. If you are dropping your child off, please
drop them off no earlier than 7:25.
** We will make sure every student has a schedule first thing Monday morning.
** Monday August 26th is a half day of school. Students will be released at 11:10.
Please be sure to check this newsletter for online registration details and open house dates. Our
website has recently been updated and has plenty of helpful information on the upcoming school year. If you have additional questions please feel free to contact the office between 7:30 and 2:45 during the school year.
Enjoy the last few weeks of summer and we look forward to seeing all of you again soon!
