Welcome, Class of 2016!
We are excited to have you as our newest Rockets! Below is a checklist of tasks and helpful information as you prepare for your first days at a Rocket.
1. Review the schedule and details for Rocket Welcome Week.
2. Create your cafeteria account
Derringer Company
will again be taking care of the foodservice needs for the students and faculty
at McNicholas High School beginning August 21 in the "Refreshme Marketplace
& Grill."
The marketplace has a variety of fresh
salads, wraps, sandwiches, snacks, and grill items with an emphasis on "Healthy
Options!" and employs a state-of-the-art self-checkout kiosk and an upscale
convenience store / grill format. Students pay for food items via
pre-funded accounts (no cash will be taken). To establish a new account, please see Derringer's welcome letter for the 2012-2013 school year.
3. Complete your medical form
All new students must return the completed Certificate of Medical Examination to school on or before the first day. This green form was included in the information you received when you registered, and is also available by clicking the above link.
4. Read the student handbook
Familiarity with school practices, policies, rules, and regulations helps create a cohesive school environment and fosters an atmosphere of respect and cooperation within the school community. Please familiarize yourself with these practices and policies by reading the 2012-2013 Student Handbook. Also take some time to look over these frequently asked questions.
5. Finish your required Summer Reading
Students are required to read two books this summer, one for English and one for science. Students will be tested in English class on their selected book on Friday, August 24 and will complete a project on the required science book due Friday, August 24. Refer to the 2012 Summer Reading List for details on the books and assignments.
