NEW VOLUNTEER BACKGROUND CHECK PROCESS
In an effort to update our volunteer background check process, we have recently made a transition to a digital ICHAT form. It is our hope that this will eliminate the need for paper copies and streamline the process. We realize that some of you may have already submitted a paper copy and been approved to volunteer.
We would ask that by November 1, 2022, any volunteer who previously submitted a paper copy of our previous background check form, submit a new request through our online link, which can be found on our website at: NCSD Chaperone & Volunteer Background Check Information.
PLEASE CALL THE OFFICE WHEN YOUR STUDENT IS ABSENT
For 5th grade: 248-449-1251
For 6th grade: 248-449-1271.
In addition, please remember to spell your students first and last name, the reason for the absence, and their homeroom teacher if you know it.
EARLY RELEASE - Students leaving before the end of the day need to be picked up before 2 p.m. Please call the MAIN OFFICE (5TH 248-449-1250, 6TH 248-449-1270) no more than 15 minutes before you arrive to let us us know you will be picking your student up so that we may have your child ready to go.
ADDITIONALLY - please make sure we can get a hold of you in case of emergency. Make sure your mailbox is not full or that it is set up and ready for message's if needed.
