In case we don’t get another notice out next week, have a
fantastic holiday recess! Remember that Wednesday will be a full day
and the holiday recess will begin Thursday, December 24th. School
will start back up again on January 4th!
We have had a good response to the SCHOOL CENSUS
that was sent out two weeks ago. If you happen to find yours in your
“pile” at home, please complete it and mail it back as soon as possible.
Postage has already been paid. There are also drop off boxes at Dodges
Store and the Whipple Free Library if that is more convenient!
If you have not signed up for the ski program it
isn't too late! PatsPeak
has waived their late fee for this year until December 24th. Go to the
Pats Peak Website and go to weekday ski school. Our sign in is NBCS-SKI
and the Password is BOBCAT. You can continue to get updates at the
school web page under SKI PROGRAM.
Please review the attached Ski Program letter if you have
signed your child up for the Pats Peak Ski Program.
