Good afternoon Pioneer Families:
We are excited to welcome all Freshmen (9th grade) students tomorrow and all students on Friday, August 14th at 8:00am.
As there has been a lot of information shared with you over the past weeks, I want to remind all students and parents of a few "before school" key points when we are in the "Yellow" stage .
*All students must bring masks as they will be required when we cannot social distance.
*Masks will be provided (and returned) to students who do not have one.
*Doors will be open at 7:15am with students asked to go to the East Commons, Gold Gym, or class if the teacher is here.
*Breakfast will be served starting at 7:30am with all items being "Grab and Go".
*At 7:45am students will be dismissed to their first period of the day in staggered fashion. Masks will be required in hallways and most hallways one way now.
*School starts at 8:00am!
There are more protocols we will reiterate with the students once we get started. We are excited to see everyone and please let me know if you have any questions!
Sincerely,
Brian Hoover - NCHS Principal
