PARKING LOT COURTESY
Thank you for being courteous to all drivers (and pedestrians) as we dismiss our 1300 students each day. Please remember that some of our students and parents need to access and use the handicapped parking spaced near the front of the lot. Those drivers need to be able to enter and exit the spaces freely. Please allow them access to freely enter and exit when necessary. Thank you for your awareness and cooperation on this matter.
HOMEWORK CLUB BEGINS OCTOBER 4TH
Niguel Hills Middle School is offering a free after school Homework Club for any interested student. Homework Club is open to any student needing assistance with homework or just a quiet place to study after school. There will be one teacher in attendance to offer their expert help. Homework club will begin Monday, October 4, 2010. It will be held Monday through Thursday each week from 3:30 until 4:30 in the school library. Permission slips to attend Homework Club are available in the front office. Students should return the permission slip with their parent’s signature to the front office. Students may attend one day or everyday depending on their homework needs. Students should bring work they need help with to the club.
We would like to thank the city of Laguna Niguel for generously funding our homework club every year! It is truly appreciated.
