Panthers, don't forget to bring your laptop and charging cord to school EVERY DAY. These laptops provide important access to digital textbooks and assist students in transitioning between classwork, testing, and homework. (If your laptop has stopped working or has other operational issues, please bring it on the first day of school so the NHS Site Tech, Mr. Phillips, can investigate and diagnose any issues.)

The deadline to complete and turn in the (Extra Credit) Summer Reading is Sunday (August 25th). Review the email which was previously sent or visit the Important Information section on the Newberry High School website (https://www.sbac.edu/newberryhigh) and look for the "Summer Reading Assignments" for all the information required to complete these assignments. Don’t miss out on this amazing chance to start earning those awesome grades!

Open Gym will be held next week - Monday (August 19th) through Thursday (August 22nd) - for any boys interested in playing basketball this year. Don’t forget that you must have a physical on file to participate. See Coach Roundtree if you have any questions.

Preseason workouts will begin after school on Tuesday (August 20th) for any girls interested in becoming a Lady Panther basketball player. Please remember you must have a current physical on file in order to participate. Please see Coach Hughes if you have any questions.

We want all our Panthers to remember the Panther way to Success:

*Be Reliable - Maintain consistency with what you say and do

*Be Respectful - Show consideration of someone or something

*Be Responsible - Be dependable, keep promises, and honor commitments

TODAY’S REMINDER:

Food and Drinks: There should be no food or drinks in the buildings which are from outside campus. NHS is a closed campus and students are not permitted to leave campus for lunch. Additionally, you may not have food dropped off or delivered to you. Students are not allowed to bring Polar Cups or “to go” cups to campus. Water bottles are encouraged and we have several bottle filling stations around campus.

Students, please remember to check your school email accounts every day for important announcements and reminders. Remember, if you are having trouble or have questions about anything at all, turn to an adult. And please, if you see something, say something (www.getfortifyfl.com). “Always remember, Shepp loves the kids!”
