Diamondback Parent Newsletter

 Have a happy and safe Holidays!

 DIAMONDBACK GEMS

 Diamondback Day: Friday is our 2nd term Diamondback day activity. Please remind your student to turn their permission slips in by Wednesday. All ineligible students and those choosing not to go will be here at the school having a regular class schedule.

 Bad Weather Reminder: As today has shown us, winter is here! We would like to remind you of a few things that will allow us to ensure student safety in the parking lots and on the streets. Please do not pick up and drop off your students in the North parking lot as this is a bus loading and unloading zone only. You are welcome to use both the East and West lots for drop off and pick up. As always, if you need to come in to the school please park in a designated parking area as to keep the lanes clear. Thank you for your help on this matter.

 Parent Conferences: For those parents and students wanting to meet with their student’s teachers we will be holding our second parent conference this Wednesday, December 16th from 3:30-6:00pm. We will follow a format similar to our conferences held in November. Teachers will be available to meet with any parents wanting to discuss their child’s performance in their class. We are attaching a schedule of time slots throughout the entire conference time, or you are welcome to drop in at any time, as teachers will be available before and after each time slot scheduled. Thank you for your support with this format, we look forward to hearing your feedback on it soon. Please follow the link to schedule your conferences: www.SignUpGenius.com/go/30E0E4CAFA723A6F58-parent3

 National Junior Honor Society: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!  Our National Jr. Honor Society thanks all of you who have donated supplies or money to our Emergency Kit project.  Fresh Market donated 10 cases of water and our 4H Service Club has donated supplies, shopped and delivered items for us.  We are still in need of a number of items.  If many people donate a little it will all add up to kits that will sustain our student body for a period of time in an Emergency situation.  Please check the link below to see what we are still in need of.  We update it after every donation.  THANK YOU again!!  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1S-tRjM4CJe_NdHUk09tBB1qQZFm7oWEVJgbTqQ6cN38/edit?ts=5631297d  If you can help us by donating one of more of the items we would greatly appreciate it!  As items are donated the numbers will go down so please keep checking our chart to see how we are doing.

Nebo 4-H Afterschool Clubs: Watch for new clubs, coming soon!
