WHAT EVERY NEBO PARENT NEEDS
STUDENTS WISHING TO CHANGE LEARNING OPTION
Dear Parents,
As we approach the end of first term (October 29), parents wanting to change their child’s learning option for second term from Remote Learning to At-School Learning, or vice versa, can do so by submitting their decision in THIS LINK between October 5 and October 20.
If parents do not wish to change their student’s learning option at this time, they do not need to submit a decision.
Once second term begins on November 2, parents will need to stay with their decision until the term ends on January 14. At that time, parents will have another opportunity to make a change. Please contact your school if you have any questions.
Thank you!
ONLINE MEAL ORDERING FOR AT-HOME LEARNERS
This would also be the method of ordering breakfast and lunch if your student is required to stay home for quarantine or for other COVID-19 related schedule adjustments or closures.
To place your order, please go CLICK HERE.
By way of reminder, meals can be picked up in the front office between10:15 and 10:30 each morning.
We hope this makes the process easier for all involved. Please contact the school if you have any questions.
AFTERNOON TEACHER HELP TIME
We encourage all our students to make good use of this time! You are welcome to stay after on your own accord, or we may invite you to stay. Either way, we want to help you!
HOW TO CHECK YOUR STUDENT'S GRADES
- Go to www.nebo.edu.
- Under the "Parents" Tab, select "Infinite Campus Parent Portal"
- Login using the login and password you chose at the time of registration.
- Once logged in, click "Grades" in the left margin
- Click on the Course Title (i.e. "English 7") to see specifics about a grade.
- If you have more than one student in the district, you can change which student you are looking at by selecting the drop down in the top right corner.
EARLY OUT ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES
We mentioned a couple weeks ago that we would be developing several "ENRICHMENT" activities after school for students who would like to be involved. Those plans are being finalized, and we wanted to share them with you. These activities will change periodically (some change from week to week, others will not change for a month or so) but this gives you an idea of what the plan is. All enrichment activities require students to sign up (to limit number of students) ahead of time.
