Cheetah Update
May 2017
With so much going on, I wanted to make sure you were aware of the many events we have coming up.
2017-2018 School Supplies
The supplies will be delivered to classrooms prior to the start of the new school year
Thanks to our wonderful PTA for making this available to us.
We will also send home with students a paper copy of the school supply lists and we will also post the list on our school's website soon.
Field Day
Field Day at Nancy Neal is May 19! Events are all day and students will be outside most of the day so please make sure your child is dressed appropriately.
Suggested items to bring: water bottle, towel, hat, sunscreen/bug spray, money for concessions (optional).
Parents are welcome to attend, but must have a cleared background check through the volunteer application. It takes several days to be cleared so apply today: volunteer application link.
End of Year Party
On May 31st, our homerooms will be celebrating a year of learning and fun. Each party will be about 45 minutes long and will be run by volunteers. If you'd like to volunteer to help, contact your child's homeroom teacher who can put you in touch with the room-mom. Volunteers must be pre-approved: volunteer application link
More party info can be found at: EOY party info or by contacting your child's homeroom teacher.
Proof of Residency for the 2017-2018 School Year
Families of students currently in PK - 3rd grade are welcome and encouraged to submit valid proof of residency (POR) to the front office in preparation for next year.
POR can be a water, gas, or electric bill. POR could also be a lease agreement. POR must have the service address and must have a service date of May 2017 or later.
Completing this task now will help your schedule pick-up go faster in August. If submitting in August, POR must be within 30 days of date submitted.
Additionally, all returning students must complete Online Registration for the 2017-2018 school year. The link to complete this task will be available on the MISD website in late summer.
