Dear Panther Families,
Please be advised that New River Intermediate's car rider lane will close at 8:45 AM each morning beginning Monday, December 1, 2025. This change is being made due to the high volume of cars using the lane and safety concerns expressed by the teachers at New River Intermediate.
The gate will reopen at 2:00 PM each afternoon.
Thank you for your cooperation and support in keeping our campus safe.
Sincerely,
Oak Hill Campus Administration Team

Hello Panther families! I have two messages
First if you have candy bars, please return them by 9:00 AM tomorrow Wednesday, November 19, 2025, as we need to close out this fundraiser. Second, our school is holding a Food Drive this week. Please consider sending in non-perishable items like canned goods, pasta, rice, or cereal. Donations can be sent with your child to be turned in to their teacher. Thank you for supporting our community and helping teach our students the importance of caring for others.
Thank you for your support!

Please remember that adult lunches are $5, and children’s lunches (for those who do not attend NRP) are $3.
Parents, please plan to arrive between 10:15 and 10:30 a.m. to allow time for check-in.
Be sure to bring your photo ID and have it ready when you arrive to help us check you in quickly.
For everyone’s safety, please leave all weapons at home — including knives, firearms, tasers, or similar items.

Happy Halloween Eve. If your student is a car rider and you need to drop off items for their Halloween Party on Friday, October 31, 2025, you can do this when you drop your student off in car rider on Friday, October 31, 2025. If you can have your student's name and teacher on the items that would be great. If not, we will have sticky notes available for the staff in the car rider to place on your items prior to placing them on the cart.
Halloween Parade
New River Intermediate is coming to our school starting at 9:15/9:30 am. After they leave our building NRP will be coming out and up the hill toward the HS. You can park in the upper gravel lot. We will be walking past FIT on the sidewalk then curving in front of NRI and around back to our school.
Since there is a lot going on we are only do a student Halloween Party.
If it rains the parade will be canceled.
Sincerely,
NRP Staff

Dear Teachers and Instructional Aides currently working with substitute teachers:
I have placed all report cards that are ready for distribution in your mailboxes. You will also find a grade verification sheet included. Please note:
• If a grade is missing from the verification sheet, it will not appear on the report card. You will need to update Schoology accordingly.

• All teachers must review their verification sheets, make any necessary corrections, in Schoology and on the verification sheet and return them to me.
o If no corrections are needed, simply write “Correct as is”.
o All sheets must be signed and dated. please remember to copy the work habits on the back of each report card and send the report cards home on Tuesday, October 21, 2025. Also remember this is parent teacher conference day.
