HS PTA Parent Meeting
Hello parents of HS students! Our next meeting will be held at 6:30pm on January 27, in the MPB 2.
We have changed the time to the evening.
Dr. Davies and the HS admin will be discussing the proposed new grading system to possibly begin next fall.
This may be your last opportunity to voice your concerns before the Board of Trustees decides whether or not to implement a new system.
Please bring your questions and come share your thoughts in this important discussion.
See you there!

It takes over 100 volunteers to make the IFF a fun and successful day for all. Please sign up for a shift of one hour or so for ticket or drink sales or to assist with the games.
The IFF is a chance to celebrate our international diversity with food and fun from many different nationalities represented here at our school. We will also have fun activities and games for all ages.

Parking Arrangements for IFF
We are expecting a large turnout to Saturday’s International Family Fair (IFF) and anticipate some parking constraints. To help alleviate this pressure, we please ask the following:
– Please can all residents of Nichada walk or ride their bikes to the event. The three main bike parking gate areas will be open for easy access.
– For those needing to drive to the event, please consider carpooling
Cars will be allowed to park in the main parking lot in front of the admin and elementary buildings. Golf cart will be parking to the left of the main entrance in the parking lot in front of the Chevron theater. We will only be able to allow ONE row of golf carts to be parked along the turnaround.
Once the parking lot is full, the gates will be closed to any further vehicle access. Cars will be able to park in the Nichada Club parking lot. We ask that you please follow the directions of the guards when parking inside the ISB lot or when looking for alternative parking areas. We want to ensure that everyone enters the lot safely, but also to make sure everyone can exit smoothly when the event ends.
Thank you for your consideration of this.
Have a wonderful day at the IFF!
