Transportation Changes Policy

It is our goal to ensure that all Nickajack students are transported safely to their afternoon destination. To achieve this goal, any change to your child's afternoon transportation must be submitted in writing to our front office staff. We will not accept any verbal requests on the phone or any requests sent via email.

We ask parents to make all transportation changes clear to the student before they leave home in the morning. Parents should send a note with the change information (see below) with the student.

However, there are times when a change is necessary after the instructional day has begun. In these instances the request must be in writing and faxed to the school no later than 1:30 p.m. on the day of the change.

Required Information: Transportation Change Form

Parent's name (printed)

Parent contact information - i.e. cell phone number, email, etc.

2017-2018

Nickajack has added two 1st grade classes to our Dual Language English/Spanish Immersion program! Last year's Kindergartners will move up to 1st grade and we will welcome our second group of Kindergarten students to the program. This unique model provides instruction and support for students in learning both languages. Students will split their day between instruction in Spanish and English.

We will continue to grow this program each year through Grade 5.
We will instill cultural competence and enhance communication among our students and community.
Our vision and mission is to develop and honor the greatness in everyone and help every child to become a leader.
Our Dual Language English/Spanish Immersion program will help students to become bi-lingual and bi-literate in an ever changing world.
