Weekly Hot Topics:
It is hard to believe that this is the final Nish News of the 2021-2022 school year! We thank all students, families, faculty, and staff for a wonderful school year! We also wish everyone a very happy and healthy summer vacation! We look forward to seeing you in September! As a reminder, our final two days of school will be June 27th & 28th. We will follow an abbreviated schedule with a 2:10 pm dismissal on both days.
Chromebook Collection
As part of our end of the year procedures we will once again be collecting all student Chromebooks and their charging cables. We ask that you please do the following if your child(ren) have their Chromebooks at home:
● Please log out of the device. This can be done by clicking on the oval button at the bottom right corner of the screen and clicking log out. Turning off the device does not always force a log out.
● Please wipe the device with a slightly damp cleaning wipe (Clorox, Lysol, etc.)
● Make sure the device is clearly labeled with your child's name.
● Make sure the charging cable is clearly labeled with your child's name.
● Wrap the charging cable neatly. It can be secured with a rubber band if necessary.
● Return the Chromebook and charging cable to school as soon as possible.
Kindergarten and 1st grade students will be receiving their same device in the fall. Second grade students will receive their devices at their new school in the fall.
If you have any questions about this, please reach out to
[email protected] for assistance.

Medication Pick-Up: As the end of the school year approaches, I would like to remind parents/guardians to pick up their child/children's medication the last week of school. By the district's policy we cannot store any medications for the following school year.
● Important Reminders for Next School Year:
○ All Medication Administration Forms and orders expire at the end of the school year and must be renewed at the beginning of the school year by the first day of school. This applies to all medications: prescription, over the counter, inhalers and EpiPens.
○ Medications must be brought to school by parent/guardian on the first day of school in their original container with proper labeling of the student's name.
○ Please notify the nurse when there is a change in your child's health status, if a medication has been added or discontinued, or a change in the student's treatment plan.
○ Yearly Physical Examination Forms are greatly appreciated in order to keep the students' records up to date.
○ All forms can be obtained in the nurse's office or from the district's website:
