Cut Time Instructions
Wondering what Cut Time is and how to use it? Check out the Cut Time Instructions page on our website. Most student financial accounts have been updated, and the rest should be finished in the next few days. Parents of new students will receive a text to gain access to their account. Parents of returning students can access their accounts by following the instructions at the link above. Thanks to Laura Moore for her hard work inputting all of the data!
Chaperones & Nurses Needed!
As we prepare for the upcoming season, we are looking for parent volunteers to serve as chaperones for football games and competitions, as well as nurses to assist at events.
A SignUpGenius will be shared in August for those interested in volunteering. Please note that all volunteers must have their district clearances submitted and approved before signing up. When submitting your clearances, be sure to indicate that they are for NPMK. See the NPSD Volunteers page for details.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me through the Band App. Thank you for supporting our students!
