Final report cards will be emailed to parents the week of June 5th. Paper copies of report cards will be

Yearbooks will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis.

End of Year Activities for Eighth Grade Students

Eighth grade students with outstanding performance in academics, athletics, or student activities will be
invited by the NEMS faculty to be recognized during an awards program on Thursday, May 30th at 7:00
pm in our gymnasium. Families of the students being recognized will receive invitations.
Our PTO will be providing a picnic lunch with fun activities for the entire eighth grade class on Friday,

Student Information Update

Parents of students currently enrolled with Noblesville Schools are asked each year to verify that the
school has current contact information, to update any changes in a child's medical history, and to agree
to technology usage permissions. Verification and updates are made through the Demographic Update
icon link in the PowerSchool Parent Portal. Once signed in to the portal, click on the Demographic
Update icon, view the information on file with the school under each tab, and confirm by using the submit
button. You must be logged in as a parent in order to see the demographic link. Please note that a
change of address requires submission of a new proof of residency document. Further information will be
sent notifying parents of the time frame all changes can be made.
If your child will not be attending Noblesville Schools next school year, please contact our
Registrar at 317-773-0782 to complete and sign the withdrawal/transfer form. Students withdrawing will
need to turn in their school issued iPad and iPad charging brick. There will be a $15 replacement fee if
the charging brick is not returned. Student records will be forwarded to the new school after all the steps
in the withdrawal process have been completed.

Student Schedules for the 2019-20 School Year

We will be emailing student schedules for the 2019-20 school year to parents in late July. The schedule
will include the student's classes, teachers, and team assignment. We will also provide directions for
where students are to report on the first day of school.
