April 16, 2025 Announcements
It’s a great day to be a Newberry Panther! 

Here are the announcements for Wednesday, April 16th:
REMINDER: Panthers, don't forget to bring your laptop and charging cord to school EVERY DAY as most of the testing this year will be done on the laptops. Additionally, 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 so the NHS Site Tech, Mr. Phillips, can investigate and diagnose any issues.)
After school CROP sessions for students who are credit deficient for graduation will continue after school this week (today through Thursday) in Ms. Burkett’s classroom from 3:00 pm until 5:30 pm. There are many remaining dates and it’s not too late to participate! If you have any questions, please contact the NHS Guidance Office ASAP.
Seniors, there are still tickets available for the NHS Prom to be held on
Saturday (April 19th) at Granville Plantation for $80.00 (payable by cash or check). See Mrs. Brady in her classroom before or after school to purchase your ticket and get ready to have a wonderful, magical, and memorable evening!
Seniors, don’t forget to order your caps and gowns for graduation. Time is running out!
ACPS has partnered with Hazel Health, meaning your student can get high-quality telehealth care at no cost to your family. Students can get teletherapy at school or at home on any smartphone, tablet, or computer. All Hazel Health visits are safe and confidential. Visit https://getstarted.hazel.co/district/alachua for more information.
Students, please remember that the NHS campus buildings are closed everyday at 3:10 pm, and students may not remain in any of the NHS buildings after 3:10 pm. Only students under the direct supervision of an NHS faculty or staff member while participating in a club meeting or athletic event may remain indoors. If you have any questions, please speak with an NHS administrator.
We are committed to the success of ALL our students! Panthers, please 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:
Dress Code: Make sure your school attire is appropriate and not distracting. You may not wear baggy/saggy pants and bottoms will not be shorter than “mid thigh”. Tops must cover the midriff, back, and sides of the body at all times. You may not wear bedroom slippers or shoes with wheels. Head coverings of any kind are not permitted to be worn inside. Failure to follow the dress code guidelines may result in lunch detention.
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!”
