Lockdown Drill
We will be holding a lockdown drill this Wednesday, Dec. 6th, at 9:30 am. This is one of the drills we practice annually, and will give faculty and staff the opportunity to test out technology that schools district wide will be utilizing during emergent situations.
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 begin next week! Departments are facing off as they raise money for Quarters for Christmas, a foundation that buys shoes for students in need in our community. Monday (12/11), bring all the nickels to the department you want to win. 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!

Kyler Olson represented our Wrestling team, Easton Johnson represented the Boys Basketball team, and Aydree Jacobson represented our Girls Basketball team.
We are thankful to Nebo School District for putting on these Captains Academies to help better our student athletes!
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.
