Needmore News

As I'm sure you're aware, THE BUG is going around like wildfire. This would be a great time to wash those coats, gloves, hats, sweatshirts, lunch boxes, water bottles, backpacks, etc. Anything that will be coming to school. We appreciate everyone working together to keep students healthy!!

We are excited to congratulate Mrs. Harris, our wonderful school counselor, for being named Staff Member of the Week! Mrs. Harris works tirelessly to support our students, staff, and families, always going above and beyond to make sure everyone feels heard and valued. With School Counselor Appreciation Week coming up next week, we want to take a moment to recognize all the incredible work she does for our school community. Thank you, Mrs. Harris, for everything you do!

Yearbooks are $17 each. Families can order yearbooks in two ways:

It's sort of like our version of Disney's Fast Pass. 😀

Families, this was my mistake last time and I want to clarify that NLCS does not have Before School Care on 2 hour delay days. Also, we do not serve breakfast during a 2 hour delay.

Check out the NLCS guidelines for Outdoor/Indoor Recess. Please make sure your child is prepared with appropriate layers.

We are proud to announce our partnership with STOPit Solutions, a nationally recognized leader in school safety and wellness.

Through this partnership, everyone in our school community has access to the STOPit anonymous reporting app – a powerful tool designed to deter and promptly address instances of bullying, school violence, self-harm, and inappropriate behaviors.

With the STOPit app, users can anonymously submit tips, attach photo or video evidence, and privately message school leaders with the necessary information to help everyone involved.

In addition, when a student or anyone in our school community needs immediate support, the STOPit app provides direct access to Crisis Text Line. Users can anonymously text with counselors (day or night) until they feel safe and calm.

We encourage everyone in our school community to download the STOPit app.

If you haven’t already done so, we kindly urge parents and guardians to download the STOPit app and become familiar with its features. This will not only enable you to guide your children in using the app but will also demonstrate our collective commitment to the safety and wellbeing of our whole school community. The STOPit app is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Registration for the 2024-2025 school year is available now. You can register at the link below. If you have any trouble at all, please don't hesitate to call the office at 812-279-2192 and we would be happy to help!
