You must bring your student ID and be on time. If you are more than 5 minutes late you will not be permitted to take the class as the video and in person instruction are no longer than 10 minutes. For any questions, please reach out to Nurse Leigha McCarty at lmmccarty@normanps.org.
If you also received the PFL notification, you should report to the NNHS library by 9:05 and then you will be released to attend the CPR training and then can report back to the library to finish your PFL. If you also get an email for the make-up ACT test, that will take first priority and then you will report to the PFL room.
Important PFL Email
Some seniors and their parents received this email: (Please check your email to see if this is you.)
Your PFL is a graduation requirement and it was due last month; therefore, we are having a PFL session on Tuesday, April 16th while juniors are testing and seniors are doing virtual learning.
Please report to the library classroom by 9:05am on 4/16. Mr. Josh Owen will be the teacher. You will be given an hour break for lunch and you can leave once your course is finished.
If you do not attend, you will be given lunch detention beginning on Wednesday, April 17th which will continue until you finish your PFL.
If you have any questions or have finished your PFL, please let me know. Please understand that you must turn in your certificate to be cleared from our list. A copy of this email is being sent to your parent(s).
Important Prom Information
Juniors and Seniors:
Prom tickets will be sold from Monday, April 22nd through Friday, April 26th before school from 8:30am-8:50am and during 4th hour lunch. In order to purchase a ticket, a student must have their ID and must not be listed on the fines list. Students may only purchase a ticket for themselves and each ticket purchased will have the purchaser's name written on it. NO TICKETS will be honored at the door that do not match the purchaser's name and the student's ID.
Fines will be posted outside the main office beginning on Monday, April 15th. Only the student's ID # will be posted. Students must pay their fines before being able to purchase a ticket for themselves. Students are not allowed to leave class to pay a fine. Students are encouraged to pay fines during 4th hour lunch.
Reminder, ONLY Juniors and Seniors may attend Prom. If your guest is from another school and they are in the 9th or 10th grade they also cannot join you. If your boyfriend/girlfriend is in the 9th or 10th grade, they also may NOT attend with you. Prom is a very special event for our 11th and 12th grade students; thank you your understanding.
Guest passes will be available to pick up in the main office beginning on Monday, April 15th. The guest pass must be completed and returned before Wednesday, April 24th to the main office. As guest passes are validated, the NNHS student plus approved guest will be added to the Guest list form so that a ticket can be sold for the approved guest. Any forgeries will cause the NNHS student to lose his/her ability to bring a guest and attend prom for the 23-24 school year.
