Greetings Cuda Families, I hope everyone had a safe and wonderful winter break. As we move into the second semester, we will be completing the instruction necessary for students to take their standardized assessments. Please encourage your student to be in school every day. Attendance is one of the greatest indicators of student success. At NSBHS, we provide office hours before lunch from 12:03 p.m. – 12:18 p.m. Students that are struggling in class should attend their teacher’s office hours or tutoring for additional help. Please email your student’s teacher if you have any questions. The registration process for the 2025-2026 school year’s classes will begin in February for rising 10th-12th graders. Information will be sent home through Focus Communication messages, on our website under the Counseling tab, as well as through daily announcements. Seniors should be completing their scholarship applications at this time. Scholarship information may be found on our website under the Counseling tab. Teachers and staff are working tirelessly to ensure students are college and career ready. We are fortunate to be in a profession that we can positively impact and shape young people’s lives. Our students are worth all our efforts to help them be successful. #1Team1Mission. If you have any questions or concerns about any aspect of your child’s progress, feel free to contact the school, counselors, or schedule a conference as needed. Finally, as we move through the second semester, please monitor our website and listen to Focus Communication messages for important information. Sincerely, Timothy R. Merrick Principal
