School Registration

It's hard to believe that in two weeks we will be holding school registration.  It will take place on August 2nd and 3rd in the Elementary/Middle School Cafeteria.  Look for information in next week's New Hampton Tribune and also look for something in the mail.  It's important that everyone register during these times so that we can make sure we are prepared for all students on the first day of school by having adequate supplies and staff members.  If there is someone new to the community who may not see or receive registration information, please share this information with them as well or let us know about them at the school and we will contact them to make sure they know about this process.

With registration coming that also means that fall sports will be starting shortly.  Please make sure your child has a physical before the first day of practice and you have adequate insurance coverage for anything that may occur.  The school does have insurance available for purchase if you need it.  In order for your child to have the best experience possible, it's important that he or she is ready to go on the first day by having the physical complete and all paperwork completed and turned in.  If you have any questions about this, please send me an email (jjurrens@new-hampton.k12.ia.us) or contact the superintendent's office at (641) 394-2134.  A quick word about athletics/activities, students who participate in some extra-curricular activity in school tend to do better in school and they find they enjoy school more.  If your child is at an age where extra-curricular activities are available, please take time to visit with him or her about participating in something.  New Hampton students are fortunate to have such a wide variety of activities available to them.  I'm confident there is something that everyone can find that he/she enjoys.  

Finally, when you come to registration please take time to stop by and introduce yourself and your child to me.  I plan to be at registration most of the time on both days as I want to take the opportunity to meet everyone I can.  I continue to learn more about the school and community every day and I have to say I can really see why it's Great to be a Chickasaw!!  

Thanks for stopping by, please feel free to contact me at any time if you have any questions or concerns about the New Hampton District.
