Check out this short video with more information!
This is communication, simplified!

Here are the announcements for Tuesday, August 12th:
REMINDER: NHS is a closed campus and students are not permitted to leave campus for lunch. Additionally, students may not have food dropped off or delivered to them at campus. Students are not allowed to bring Polar Cups or “to go” cups to campus. Water bottles are encouraged and we have several bottle filling stations around campus.
Panthers, when arriving at school each day you are not allowed to hang out in the parking lot areas or inside cars. You must proceed to the gate and promptly enter school.
There will be an informational meeting for the NHS Robotics Club after school on Thursday (August 14th) at 3:00 pm in Mrs. Talkington’s classroom. Come out and see what it’s all about!
There will be an informational meeting after school on Thursday (August 14th) in Dr. Woods’ classroom at 3:00 pm for any girls who are interested in joining the Lady Panther golf team. Please see Dr. Woods if you have any questions.
There will be a mandatory parent/player meeting for any students interested in playing fall or spring baseball on Thursday (August 14th) at 6:30 pm at the NHS baseball field. Please make plans to attend!
IMPORTANT: A new law passed by the Florida Legislature significantly limits when students may use cell phones or other personal wireless communication devices, such as smartwatches, earbuds, headphones, and tablets. These devices must remain powered off and stored out of sight during instructional time. Students have access to district-approved instructional technology throughout the school day and families who need to reach their child due to an emergency or other safety concern should contact the NHS Front Office directly.

Tops must cover the midriff, back, and sides of the body at all times. You may not wear bedroom slippers or shoes with wheels. Head coverings of any kind are not permitted to be worn inside.
