Principal’s Flyer #4: September 8, 2024
Dear Students & Families:
Homecoming week is here, and Warrior fest is this Saturday starting at 4:00 PM. Students: we hope you’ll participate in the festivities, and families: come out to Warrior Fest and support our school and wider-Warrior culture! Big thanks to Varsity Letterman’s Club for the herculean effort in putting Warrior Fest together. Also big thanks to our club and class advisors for their work at Warrior Fest. Thanks to the many volunteers for giving up time away from your weekend and families to put on this major event for our schools and community! To all our families and community volunteers, we thank you and look forward to seeing you this Saturday. Here’s our Warrior Fest poster, and Warrior students: don’t forget Spirit Days this week! Students have until the end of the day this Tuesday to purchase homecoming dance tickets to the DISCO!
Don’t forget everyone - school picture day is this Tuesday, September 10th and is for ALL students.
Student Handbook and Beginning of the Year Forms |
Student Family Handbook, 2024-2025. Families are advised that the 2024-2025 NRSD Student and Family Handbook is available on our website for review.
Please find, linked here, step-by-step instructions for finding and acknowledging the handbook
Handbooks should be reviewed and signed by families/parents/guardians within the first two weeks of school by September 12th (this week).
Special note to 9th grade families - you will receive an updated chromebook at the beginning of this school year. To receive your new chromebook, the handbook must be signed off / acknowledged by your families.
Beginning of Year Forms (BOY). Please hand in all BOY forms this week. These forms include medical forms, media release forms, dental care forms and military recruitment opt-out forms (seniors). Additionally, all students will have information about purchasing a school picture package for all-school back-to-school pictures on September 10th (Tuesday).
NRSD Bus Information |
Families of students taking the bus: please make sure to check your bus routes. Students needing any support help with their bus number can check in with the main office. We’re happy to help you! Thanks in advance for understanding:
Students must ride only their assigned bus; we do not give passes to ride other buses given high numbers of bus ridership.
Late Bus Starts Monday, September 9th. NRSD runs a late bus for students who need to stay after school to work with their teachers. Late buses start on Monday (9/9) and run each Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Late bus stops may be different from your normal stop, but late buses try to arrange their routes so students riding them can be dropped as close to their residence as possible.
Note: students riding the late bus should get a pass from their teacher and should report to the MS front doors around 2:50 PM.
Teacher office hours begin directly after school, and all teachers hold office hours on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and/or Friday.
Students can check with their teachers and/or counselors to know when each teacher holds “office hours” / after school help sessions.

NRHS School Advisory Council |
Are you looking to make an impact at NRHS and/or help steer the short and long term direction of NRHS? If so, we’d love your voice. NRHS School Advisory Council is a working group composed of students, staff, administration, & parents/families that help guide the direction of the school in both the short term and long-term decision making, and to help shape the vision of NRHS for the future.
