REMINDER: Panthers, don't forget to bring your laptop and charging cord to school EVERY DAY as most of the testing this year will be done on the laptops. Additionally, these laptops provide important access to digital textbooks and assist students in transitioning between classwork, testing, and homework. (If your laptop has stopped working or has other operational issues, please bring it so the NHS Site Tech, Mr. Phillips, can investigate and diagnose any issues.)

As we continue with end-of-year testing, make sure you are prepared by getting a good night’s sleep, eating a healthy breakfast, and getting to school on time! Please also minimize late check ins and early check outs to avoid causing disruptions to other students who are testing around campus.

Students, please return any textbooks or library books you may have, even books you may have acquired from another school in the county. This is especially important for our Seniors in order to remain off the debt list as the end of the year approaches. All books must be turned in by the end of the year or you will be charged for them.

After school CROP sessions for students who are credit deficient for graduation will continue this week (today through Thursday) after school in Ms. Burkett’s classroom from 3:00 pm until 5:30 pm. There are many remaining dates and it’s not too late to participate! If you have any questions, please contact the NHS Guidance Office ASAP.

The FCA will have its last meeting for the school year this Friday (May 16th) before school at 8:10 am in the NHS Gym. If you’d like to become involved, make sure to stop by!

There will be an Environmental Science Club meeting before school on Monday (May 19th) at 8:00 am in Mrs. Spina’s classroom.

TODAY’S REMINDER:

Tardies: Tardies impact school success and student behavior, are a distraction to all students, and cause a disruption in teaching. Make sure you’re on time every day, to every class. Excessive tardies may result in lunch detention or ISD.

Students, please remember to check your school email accounts every day for important announcements and reminders. Remember, if you are having trouble or have questions about anything at all, turn to an adult. And please, if you see something, say something (www.getfortifyfl.com). “Always remember, Shepp loves the kids!”
