This year, the meal will be a potluck dinner. The Boosters will provide the main course - hamburgers and hot dogs and the rest will be potluck that the different sections to bring. We’d like the dinner to begin at 6pm so please have your dish there about 5:45. It will be held in the NHS Cafeteria. We will have dinner first (6-7pm) and then go watch the Band perform some of the “Escape from Alcatraz” show (7-7:30).

The polos are available to all Raider Band Boosters and are required for those who plan to chaperone any event. Please follow this link to order your's today!
![]() Arguably, one of the best improvements we've made with the band's communications over the past two years is the implementation of the Remind group texting service. Remind has allowed us to reach more parents and members in a timely manner than ever before. Starting now, we are going to migrate everyone over to Class Messenger. Read full announcement and sign up here. ![]() This is a reminder that the band hall will be closed June 27th., - July 5th. The staff and I would like to wish each of you a very happy Independence Day. We hope that you all enjoy a very relaxing, safe and "band free" holiday week! A special thank you to all of you moms and dads, both now and in the past, who help keep America Free. Thank You! ![]() I can't tell you how many times I've been asked this question and I want to take a moment to let you know what happens when you make a Fair Share or any other type of payment to the NHS Band. As you know, we only take Checks and Money Orders. The primary reason is due to the School District's rules about handling money. That includes cash and checks. When you bring in your check, or send it in with your student, it should be placed in the "black box". It may stay in there for several days, depending on the time of year. We make an attempt to turn in checks to the bookkeeper every other day. Sometimes it's more often, sometimes is a bit longer. Usually, at least twice a week though. Checks are retrieved from the black box and notated on a deposit slip which is then turned in to the school's bookkeeper. The bookkeeper assigns a deposit number to our form and then deposits the checks in the school's bank account. I receive a copy of the deposit slip in my teacher's mail box. This process can take a few days. When the deposit slip is returned, I then take the information and credit your student's charms account. I'm going to admit, I'm not perfect and mistakes have been made in the past. That is why I have asked Mrs. Naselius to help with me administrative duties this year. I'm hoping that an extra set of eyes can help accuracy. As you can see, it may take up to ten business days for your payment to be reflected in your student's Charms account. Lastly, it is important that you, as parent, stay proactive. Make sure you log in to your student's account often. If you see a discrepancy, please don't hesitate to contact either Karen or myself to let us know. We want to make sure that we are practicing good financial over site and that Charms reflects accurate and up to date information about your student's account. Both Karen and I are willing to work with you to answer any questions you may have. Sincerely, db- |
