Friendly Reminders
Safe, Courteous Drivers
Please be patient when dropping off and picking up your student before and after school. Help us keep our students safe.
If you arrive early to pick up, please pull all the way forward on the curb to make room in the line for others.
Call Attendance
Please use the Attendance Line (321-5332) when reporting your student as absent, arriving late, or leaving early from school for any reason.
MacBook Check
As we get used to having our macs back, take a second and double check that you have the correct one. Make sure you return all mistaken macs to the Tech office as soon as possible.

ATTENTION fALCONS: Safety Drills
Each year all schools within the NKCSD participate in safety drills to prepare staff and students on how to best respond when there is a weather or non-weather emergency. Next week at Staley we will begin conducting our first set of safety drills. We wanted to let you know that we are starting these drills and also assure you that student’s safety here at Staley is of highest priority and these drills allow us time for practice and teaching so students feel safe and secure at school.
