ATTENDANCE MATTERS
03/01/2024
Nichols Knights Families,
March is here! It’s hard to believe that we are so close to Spring! It will be so nice when the warmer temperatures are here to stay.
I have had a few inquiries about end of the year events. As long as the last day of school does not change, Field Day will be Tuesday, May 14th, Kindergarten Graduation will be at 2:45 on May 16th and 5th Grade Graduation will be at 2:45 on the last day of school, May 17th. You can also find everything listed under Events on the Nichols website. https://www.bullitt.k12.ky.us/o/nes.
Today’s tidbit from the Student Handbook is about:
FIELD TRIPS/FIELD DAY
Field Trips are a part of the instructional program and must make a definite contribution to an activity, project or subject area. The teacher will send home a permission slip that gives all information concerning the trip.
Students are not allowed to participate in a field trip without a signed permission slip from a parent or guardian.
In order to act as a parent chaperone, a criminal record background check must be on file and approved prior to the trip.
Criminal Checks MUST be done once every two years.
Chaperones may not bring siblings on field trips since, as chaperones, they are being relied upon to supervise a group of students.
Only students/children enrolled at NES may attend field trips or participate in field day.
Younger siblings (not yet school age) may attend field day to visit but, for safety reasons, cannot participate in field day events.
Upcoming dates:
March 4 - 8 Read Across America Week
March 8 - Spring Pictures
March 11 - Bullitt Day (no school)
March 11 - Kindergarten Pre-registration day
Have a wonderful weekend!
