C's, B's & A's Before the Holidays!
We have started our C's, B's and A's Before the Holiday's incentive! We want you to work at getting your grades up sooner than later, so you don't have a ton of late work at the end of the semester.
We will randomly select students, check to see if they have all A's, B's and C's, and if they do, we will call them down for a chance to spin our prize wheel. Who doesn't want some prizes?! Get your grades up for a chance to win!
Penny Wars
Penny Wars this week!! Departments are competing to raise the most money for Quarters for Christmas. With challenges and rewards, they’re hoping students will donate to their jars but not with pennies. Pennies count against reach teacher. Support this great cause while playing along with the departments!
Tuesday (12/12) bring dimes. Wednesday (12/13), bring quarters. Thursday (12/14), bring $1 bills. And Friday (12/15), bring ANY kind of money. Any kind of money is encouraged all week long. Bring pennies to bomb the departments you don't want to win!
December to Remember Dress Up Days!

Friday 15th: Wear something with lights, or sparkles!

Counseling Center (Class Changes)
Schedule changes for 2nd semester classes will be available Wednesday, December 13th through Wednesday, December 20th. Students may request schedule changes on the Google Form (will be posted on the 13th), or by coming to the counseling office and signing up to meet with a counselor.
Please understand that changing one class may alter the entire schedule as we work to keep our class sizes balanced. If you have any extenuating circumstances please reach out to your counselor.
We have some changes in the math department and are excited to welcome Mrs.Harman and Mrs.Jenkins to our school. With this change we are able to reduce our class sizes in our math classes and offer more support to students. Please be aware that your math teacher and/or class period may change due to these changes.

Student Clubs
Chromebook Insurance
Students have now been issued a chromebook that will be used at school as well as taken home each day to work on homework. We encourage students to carry their chromebook in their backpack or a protective case to keep it from getting damaged. The cost to replace a damaged or stolen chromebook is $300 and will be charged to the student unless an optional $30 Protection Plan is purchased at the beginning of the school year. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND PURCHASING THIS PROTECTION PLAN ALSO KNOWN AS CHROMEBOOK INSURANCE IN CASE OF LOSS OR DAMAGE
The Protection Plan may be paid online through myschoolfees.com under "optional fee." It may also be paid by calling the finance office, coming into the school or sending payment with your student.
Even if you have already opted to participate in the Nebo Chromebook Protection Plan when filling out the Chromebook Usage Agreement you still need to pay the $30 fee in order for the Plan to be in effect. Please see Mrs. Fay in the finance office.
