7th Grade Football Concussion Testing today during WIN in the Gym with Mr. Rice.

 

STUDENT BADGES

Where you are to use your badge and why:

  • Library Book Check Out

  • LUNCH Check Out - Mandatory or you will be at the end of the line

            Not using your badges slows down the process and more.

  • BUS - Check on & Check Off -

To Identify the Student, Make sure you are on and get off, and 

With the new App for Parents to Track their Students on the Bus

It is Mandatory!

 

SUNGLASSES

Outside at recess is fine, but not in the hallways or classrooms.  It is really for student safety and for the same reason we do not allow hats or hoods.

 

Broadcast and Video Production - Are you interested in sports, using video equipment and computers? Can you imagine yourself working for ESPN or Husker Vision someday?  We are looking for students to help broadcast sporting events on Youtube and possibly edit game highlights for social media.  We need motivated students that can consistently commit time outside of school (athletic events) to be announcers, camera/replay operators, and video editors.  Please see or email Mr. Carlson for more information (andrew.carlson@nsdtitans.org).

 

Reminder to be On Time each morning and to each class.

Tardies will be kept track of and the Tardy Policy will be in effect.

 

If playing a sport (7th & 8th Graders) the following forms are due in the office before you can practice:

  • Physical

  • NSAA Form

  • Concussion Form

  • $50  (You will receive your Activity Pass with this payment)

 

As a 7th Grader you must have a current Physical on file whether playing a sport or not.  Dated after May 1st, 2022.

 

If you are not playing a sport, 6th - 8th graders are eligible to purchase an Activity Pass for $30.  This pass will get you into MS & HS non-tournament games at no cost.
