Principal's Update
Dear NBC Parents,
On behalf of the entire staff at NBC, I extend our warmest wishes for a joyous and peaceful holiday season. We are incredibly grateful for your continued support and partnership in your child's education. We appreciate your dedication to their success and the positive impact you have on our school community. We hope this holiday season brings you moments of joy, laughter, and cherished memories with your loved ones. We look forward to welcoming your children back to school in the new year, refreshed and ready to learn.
As always, if you have questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at 231-894-5617 or by email at perreaultj@mapsk12.org

Upcoming Important Dates
Christmas Break is December 23rd - January 3rd.
School is back in session Monday, January 6th.
A friendly reminder from the NBC office staff
If you plan on picking your student up early for some reason and know ahead of time, please send your student with a note that morning and we will get them a pass to leave class and meet you at the entrance of the school for their pick up time. This decreases wait time and class interruptions.
PLEASE if your student is not going to be in school or is sick, call the office and let us know why they will not be in school. This way we can mark them with an excused absence instead of an unexcused absence. According to the NBC Middle School Handbook, parents must provide an explanation for their child's absence by no later than 10:00 am on the day of the absence or by the following day.
If we DO NOT answer the phone as we are busy with students or on another line, PLEASE leave a message for us, we will get it taken care of and/or call you back if need be as soon as we are available.
Thank you parents,
-Mrs. Halverson & Mrs. Kraus
