*School lunch accounts- We have several students who have delinquent lunch accounts. Please contact the school lunch department to settle these accounts as soon as possible (801) 423-2705. If your account becomes delinquent over a long period of time or shows owing a large amount of money we will follow district protocol in receiving these funds through our collection agency. 

*Kindergarten Pre-Registration will no longer be happening in March. Please watch for more information to come your way on how to register your students for Kindergarten this Summer!  

*Stakeholder Surveys: The 2018-19 Stakeholder Survey will come to Nebo parents and students in a link via email on Monday, the 4th of February. If you would like to participate we encourage you to do this through the email address you provide to the school district.
