Reading List information

Dear NBHS Parents, Guardians, and Community, 

Please take the time to review the NBHS English Department’s PROPOSED Required Reading List. The current school year is attached for you to compare and see changes.  The PROPOSED reading list will have highlights and strikethroughs to notate changes as well. The NPS School Board will be reviewing and voting for the proposed reading list at tomorrow’s school board meeting Tuesday, May 15, 2018 at 5:30 PM. 

In addition to the CURRENT reading list and PROPOSED reading list, forms for Complaint/Concern and Citizen’s Request for Reconsideration for Instructional Materials are attached as well. 

Thank you, 
Jon Berkeley, Principal

Proposed School Calendar Change

Nome Public Schools is considering a change to the calendar in upcoming school years, and the NPS Board of Education would like your input.  School would start after Labor Day and end before Memorial Day, and 10 minutes of instructional time would be added to the school day.  This would mean a loss of 50.5 instructional hours over the course of the school year.  Regular attendance would be crucial for students to be successful in school, and schools will make every effort to protect the instructional day.  The delayed start would allow families additional time for subsistence over the summer months. 

Please complete the survey at the link below - there is space to record your concerns and comments, which will be shared with the school board to aid in their discussions and decision.  If you experience technical difficulties with the survey, please contact Jamie Burgess at 907-443-6197.
