My apologies. The dates in the "What is happening at Nease" were all wrong. This is what happens when I rush, so I can leave on time to have dinner with my family. Enjoy the weekend!

Happy Friday!
Congratulations to all of our seniors who graduated last night at TIAA Bank Field. The ceremony was wonderful and we did not let a little rain stop us from celebrating the Class of 2021. We wish all of the graduates the best in their next adventure!
MORE THAN 50 GRADUATES HAVE NOT PICKED UP THEIR YEARBOOKS! There are also about 75 underclassmen and distance learners who need to pick them up. Yearbooks are available for pick up in the front office with ID during regular hours.
If your child missed a final exam and needs to make it up this summer, please use the link below to selct the testing day the week of June 21st.
If your child missed the Algebra, Geometry, Biology or US History State EOC, they can take this summer during the summer administration. Please use the link below to sign-up.
Sports physicals are this Wednesday, June 9th from 5:00pm to 6:30pm on campus in the media center for $20 cash or check payable to Nease Athletics. The physicals will be done with the help of Southeast Orthopedic Specialists and Atlas Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine. All proceeds go to the Athletic Training Department which helps dramatically in our ability to purchase supplies (ice bags, tape, first aid supplies, coolers, etc.) each year for our student athletes. Students can attend without a parent if they already have page 1 of the physical (EL2) filled out and signed by a guardian. The form is located on our website at https://neaseathletics.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/PhysicalForm-EL2.pdf
MEDIA CENTER & TEXTBOOK RETURNS-PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
-
Textbooks & consumable workbooks were inadvertently marked as lost at the district level. Please disregard these charges. Students can still return all textbooks and have those fines deleted as soon as the books are checked in. PLEASE DO NOT RETURN ANY ITEM MARKED “CONSUMABLE”. These are workbooks that students can keep at home for personal use or to recycle. Those fines WILL BE deleted during this summer.
- PLEASE REMIND YOUR STUDENTS TO CLEAN OUT THEIR LOCKERS (if they have one) ASAP. They should not wait until the last day of school.
-
Students can still return textbooks and library books next week, however, the media center will be CLOSED due to small group testing for final exams. Students will need to return library books and/or textbooks in the hallway behind the media center by entering through the hallway door next to room 138 (next to the media center main entrance). Signs will be posted. We will be available there every day beginning at 8:45 a.m. until all buses leave each day. Distance Learners can return textbooks/library books to the media center after school during the following times:
- Monday and Tuesday between 1:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.,
- Wednesday from 3 p.m. – 4 p.m.
- Thursday from 12 p.m. – 3 p.m.
ALL STUDENTS MUST RETURN ALL LIBRARY BOOKS, TEXTBOOKS, LAPTOPS, HOTSPOTS, ETC. BY THURSDAY BEFORE HEADING OUT FOR THE SUMMER. Students WILL NOT be able to return items during the summer because no library staff will be available to verify returns. If materials are not returned, students will not be able to check out materials for the new year.
ALL students can personally check their library accounts by clicking on the Destiny link and logging in with their username and password.
MEDIA CENTER Fees/Fines:
If students have any mc fees/fines on their media account (lost/damaged textbook, library book, or duplicate student ID’s) they can be paid directly to the media center with cash or check. They can also be paid online via SchoolPay by clicking on the link below:
This link is ONLY for NEASE HS materials and fines. PLEASE do not pay for any charges from other schools or items that belong to Hildreth (Dual Enrollment books). Once you have made your payment, please email me a screenshot of your receipt so that I can clear the student account on my end. If any materials are not returned or fines not paid, you will not be checked out any materials for the next school year until all discrepancies are reconciled. If you pay for a book and it found & returned, you WILL receive a refund.
From District Transportation Department
Transportation has received several inquiries from parents and schools about provisional transportation waivers for the 21-22 school year. The revised policy is attached for use. The policy is also available on the district’s website under Quick Links and Transportation.
Key points:
- All current provisional transportation waivers expire on June 10, 2021.
- Transportation is accepting provisional transportation waiver requests for the 21-22 SY now via the link online.
- Transportation will not process provisional waiver requests for the 21-22 SY until after student rollover on/about July 15, 2021.
- Parents/families should make alternative arrangements until when/if provisional transportation waiver requests are approved.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY NEWS!
Advisers: Carolyn Milian, School Librarian Media Specialist & Mrs. Robbins, Math teacher
SOPHOMORE & JUNIOR STUDENTS & PARENTS!
Is your student interested in being invited to join National Honor Society next school year? Well, here are some important details to keep in mind, so your child can start working on his/her “resume”. These are the requirements for students to be considered as candidates for the Nease chapter of National Honor Society:
Eligibility for National Honor Society:
o NHS is open only to Juniors and Seniors
o 3.80 SHARP WEIGHTED GPA (no rounding)
o Juniors – minimum of 40 documented service hours documented by end of August of Junior year. Seniors – minimum of 50 documented hours by end of August
o Enrolled in at least 2 Honors, AP, or DE courses (or a combo of any of these) for the school year 2021-22.
Eligible Juniors and Seniors who have the required GPA at the start of the school year, will receive an invitation for an “Informational Meeting” in September to discuss the requirements and expectations of all members in National Honor Society. At that point they will receive a “Selection/Resume” packet that must be completed and submitted by deadline date.
Eligibility does not guarantee admission. Other factors that will determine candidacy are leadership, school involvement in clubs, events, and activities, outside leadership and club involvement (ie: Scouts, church, community groups, work, etc.). The Faculty Council (8 anonymous faculty members) review all the resumes and make the final decisions regarding invitation to become a member or does not meet needed requirements. Juniors that did not meet requirements have the opportunity to become eligible at the start of Senior year. All confirmed candidates will be inducted into the club in a ceremony that will take place sometime in October. Confirmation letters will be sent out during the last week of September.
