Little Rockets News!
Dear Families,
If your child is going to be absent from school, it is required that you call the Washington office and inform us of this absence. If we do not hear from you regarding your child's absence, please understand that it is district policy for us to call you to inquire about the absence.
Although not mandatory, once you enroll in an early childhood, Head Start, or 4K program, your child's attendance is monitored and recorded in our NJSD system.
We keep track of illnesses so we can inform our nursing staff if there is anything that could be of concern.
We appreciate your understanding and your cooperation with this important matter. If you have specific questions about these policies and procedures, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you!
Ms. Stacie Nelson, Principal
Please mark your calendars!
Upcoming Dates
Monday, January 20: No Head Start classes today; Friday arrival/dismissal for all Head Start students
Friday, January 27: No School (Professional Learning Day)
Inclement Weather Reminder!
NJSD Families-
In the case of inclement weather an announcement about school cancellations or delays will be sent via text message and e-mail to all parents and staff members through the District's messaging service. An announcement will also be posted on the District website (www.neenah.k12.wi.us), Facebook page (Neenah Joint School District) and Twitter feed (@NeenahSchools).
The following television stations will be contacted to broadcast any school closing announcements: WBAY TV-2, WFRV TV-5, WLUK TV-11 and WGBA TV-26. The following radio stations will also be contacted: WNAM AM-1280, WOSH AM-1490, WHBY AM-1150, WIXX FM-101.1, WPKR FM-99.5, WAPL FM-105.7, WVBO FM-103.9 and WEMI FM-91.9. A decision to close or delay school will be made as soon as possible to help families make arrangements.
Messages will only be sent in case of a cancellation or delay. The District will not send messages when school is open.
As always, parents may choose to keep their child(ren) home from school in case of cold or hazardous conditions and the absence will be excused.
PLEASE NOTE! If there is a 2-hour delay, that will automatically mean that there will be NO AM CLASSES! PM classes will run as normal.
If we get an early release due to weather, the PM classes will hopefully be cancelled before they begin at 12:05. IF NOT, they will dismiss at 1:45.
Please watch for district emails and watch for information on the news. Remember, if you don't see any information, then we are holding class as normal.
