Streaming Video From Your Subscription Services
Bah Humbug!
Logging into your personal home streaming service (Netflix, HULU, primevideo, HBOMax, etc., etc.) to stream video in our classrooms is not okay. Please click on this link for more information. This is not a NJSD policy but rather the agreement YOU made with YOUR streaming service(s).
Video hardware: on a related note, the District does not support personally owned digital devices. Meaning, if you bring a Blu-ray/CD/DVD player in from home, the Technology Department is under no obligation to try to make it work. For your personal phones and other personal devices, there is a <Public> wifi network available for you to access and connect to.

2023 Biometric Screening Scheduling Now Available
Neenah Joint School District employees and spouses enrolled in Humana Health Insurance for 2023 may now register for a free 2023 Biometric Screening. Prevea Health coaches will be providing 20-minute appointments that include a measure for height, weight, blood pressure, a fasting finger-stick blood draw, and a brief coaching session.
There are many dates to choose from at each building. Employees should attempt to schedule a date at their home-based building. Spouses and retirees will not be scheduling their appointments at school buildings. Retirees and spouses will have specific locations designated to them and should choose the first option on the list titled "Spouses and Retirees ONLY". For 2023, spouses are not required to complete the biometric screening, however, it is strongly encouraged as their points will be added to the employees Go365 account to reach the wellness incentive and maintain the lower insurance premium rate.
