We recommend students purchase a combination lock. This is a one time purchase of $6.00, allowing the student to use the same lock for his/her academic career at NHS. These locks are the property of the student and no money will be refunded. The student assigned to the locker is responsible for any damage to the locker as well as all contents of the locker. Lockers may be locked only with locks purchased from the school. Lockers should be locked at all times. Northwest High School will not be held responsible for lost or stolen items, nor investigate items stolen from unlocked lockers. Schedule Changes Note: The schedule given to the student at registration this year will reflect the student’s current grade standing based on the number of credits earned: Seniors 17 Credits Medical Update In accordance with the state law, all students must be up to date on immunizations in order to attend classes. If you have received immunizations recently, please bring proof with you to registration for the nurse to update your school records. No student requiring immunizations will be given a schedule at registration for the 2012-2013 School year. Health history updates, medications and allergies should be noted on student records at this time. Student accident insurance forms will also be available at registration and in each principal’s office. Yearbooks Yearbooks will be on sale for $52.00 during registration.
