August 11, 2016

Let me assure you it's still vacation time, but here at NCS we are busy preparing for the coming year. There are a few things for families to begin thinking about too. This week's list may be helpful to you:

• First day of school?    For students, the first day is Thursday, September 1. Here's a calendar of the entire year:   2016-2017 Calendar  This calendar is also under PARENT RESOURCES on the school's website.
  
  
• INFOSNAP/registration? Where is my snapcode?   INFOSNAP is an app within Powerschool and you, parents, will be notified when it's time to update your child's information. Expect an email notification, probably to arrive later today, August 11.  Once you have received that notification, you'll be able to go to your Powerschool parent account and complete the registration.  In the past, you may have thought of this as the "summer package."   Your child's registration must be completed online before school begins. If your child is participating in a fall sport, INFOSNAP should be done before your sports season begins.  
  
  Don't worry about a snapcode.   You won't need that.
  
  Parents of new students are receiving an email this morning, August 11, with information about setting up your Powerschool account.   All returning students have an existing Powerschool parent account.  Contact the office if you need help or if you need to use a school computer.
• What time will the bus pick up my child(ren) and where?   The 2016-2017 bus routes will be updated soon.  Look for the schedule in Lincoln County News and on our website.   You will be notified when the new routes are posted.
• So many questions!   The NCS handbook is a good source of information. You will find it on our website under PARENT RESOURCES. This link will also get you to the 2016-2017 HANDBOOK .
