Dear NES Families,
Each year, the $35 Chromebook fee helps cover the cost of one free repair and provides essential monitoring software that helps keep your students safe online.
If you haven’t paid yet, there are several convenient options:
💻 Pay online via School Cash Online
💵 Send in cash or a check (payable to NES) with your student
🧾 Need to pay in parts? We’re happy to work with you!
The payment due date is September 30th.
A fee waiver and household income form were sent home at the start of the school year. If you need additional support with school fees, please don’t hesitate to use those resources.
⚠️ Important Reminder: As we head into winter, students who have not paid their Chromebook fees will not be able to take their devices home in the event of inclement weather or NTI (Non-Traditional Instruction) days.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to:
📧 kelly.owen@bullitt.kyschools.us
📧 beth.blissett@bullitt.kyschools.us
Thank you for your continued support!

Dear BCPS Families,
The safety and well-being of our students and staff are our highest priorities. In accordance with Kentucky law, we are writing to provide our annual notification regarding school safety.
Kentucky Revised Statute (KRS) 158.1559 requires that all school principals provide written notice to students, parents, and guardians about the state law concerning terroristic threatening (KRS 508.078) and its significant penalties.
Please see the attached images for the complete Memo!
NES families, let's talk Chromebooks! Each year the $35 chromebook fee helps pay for the first free repair and monitoring software needed to keep your students safe. If you have not paid yet, you can pay online via School Cash Online. Please visit bullitt.schoolcashonline.com to pay directly. Students can bring in cash or check (payable to NES.) We can also accept payments in parts if need be! The payment due date is September 30th.
A fee waiver and household income form went home at the beginning of the year if you need further assistance with school fees.
Winter will be here before we know it, and any student who has not turned in their chromebook fees will not be able to take their chromebooks home in case of inclement weather.
Questions? Email kelly.owen@bullitt.kyschools.us or beth.blissett@bullitt.kyschools.us

We need you! Join us on Monday, August 18th for our Site-Based Decision Making meeting at 4 PM.
We can't wait to see you, Knights! Doors open tomorrow morning at 8:40 AM!
Join us TONIGHT for our Open House! Doors will open at 4:30 with a short welcome message in the gym from our new Principal, Mrs. Rigazio! Come on out to meet some new faces and to say "hello" to those that are familiar!
We’re also excited to kick off the 2025 school year with our theme: “Oh, The Places You’ll Go!” This year, we’re focusing on growth through experiences that challenge the imagination and create unity. Our goal is to help every student dream big and move forward as we build the future—one learning experience at a time.
To bring this theme to life, we’ve teamed up with Alchemy Collaborative to launch a special online spirit store for families and staff! Brooke, with Alchemy Collaborative, took our theme and added a creative twist—turning it into a “quest” that ties in perfectly with our Knight mascot and House system.
We’ll have a table set up at Open House where you can preview the gear and get information on how to order. The PTA will be your main contact if you have any questions or need help accessing the store.
We look forward to an incredible year full of learning, growth, and school spirit!
Warmly,
The Nichols Team
