North Platte High School
Announcements
NPHS faculty and staff would like to welcome you to the
2025-2026 school year.
School starts for freshmen on the 13th of August at 8:00 a.m and is an early release day. Students will be done at 2:20 p.m.
All 9-12 students will report on Thursday, Aug. 14th from 8:00 a.m. to 3:25 p.m.
Student ID Info for 2025-2026
If your child had their photo taken during our summer picture sessions (July 31, August 4, or August 5), they’ll receive their new Student ID on the first day of school. If they miss those dates, we’ll give them a temporary ID without a photo and ask them to sit for a picture on our retake days.
Freshmen retakes: August 13
Sophomore–Senior retakes: August 14
8:00 - 8:45 (Sophomores)
8:45 - 9:30 (Juniors)
9:30 - 10:15 (Seniors)
10:15 - 11:00 (Any remaining students)
Once new cards with photos are printed, they’ll receive an updated ID.
This year, the Student ID also doubles as the activity ticket. So, no more carrying two separate cards or paying at the door for regular season home games. It’s one card for everything.
For safety, building access, and lunch purchases, students must wear their physical ID every day. If a student isn’t wearing it, we’ll ask them to put it on. If they’ve lost it, they’ll need a replacement card, which will cost $5 and show up as a fine in Infinite Campus.
Applications for OJT, Honor Period, Student Aide, and Career Internships will be ready for students to pick up in the Counselor’s office and be accepted during the windows of time listed below:
Term 1 | Term 2 | Term 3 | Term 4 | |
Window Opens | August 13th | October 6th | December 15th | March 2th |
Window Closes | August 15th | October 10th | December 19th | March 6th |
Remember that there are expectations for attendance, behaviors, and academic achievement that need to be met in order to qualify for these opportunities and not all students will be eligible.
Please review the flyers below. They outline the expectations, rationale, and benefits of being personal electronic device free during the school day.
FCCLA Members and Potential Members!
Our Kick-Off Meeting will be held on Monday, August 19! We will meet in 2403, Design Lab at 3:30 sharp. We’ll go over important information, including STAR Events, leadership opportunities, and how to letter in FCCLA. We’ll also be baking two types of cookies, so bring a friend or two and come ready to mix things up and have fun!
Dungeons and Dragons
Hey Adventurers! With the 2025–2026 school year about to begin, so is another exciting journey for the Dungeons & Dragons Club at NPHS!
As of now, we have 2 students who have filled out the interest survey and are ready to embark on a new campaign. If you're one of them—awesome! If you're still thinking about it, consider this your invitation to join the party.
Our first club meeting will be held on Monday, August 19th at 3:45 PM in Room 1204.
Whether you're a seasoned player or a curious beginner, this is a great time to jump in and help shape what this year's club will look like. In the meantime, talk to your fellow adventurers from last year and invite your friends who might be interested in exploring magical realms, solving mysteries, or battling dragons. The more players, the better the campaign! I look forward to seeing you all on the 19th in Room 1204—let’s roll into a great year together!
Checkmate Your Calendar!
The first Chess Club meeting of the year is happening on August 26th at 3:30 PM in Mrs. Welte’s room (Room 1204) — and YOU’RE invited! Whether you're a grandmaster in the making or still learning how the knight moves, there’s a spot for you at the board. Come for the strategy, stay for the fun, and meet fellow players of all skill levels! Let’s kick off the year with some brainpower and good vibes. All levels welcome!
See you there!
FBLA
We’re excited to announce the reconstruction of FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) at NPHS!
As of now, we have five students interested, which meets the minimum requirement to be an active club—but we’d love to grow! Consider this to be your invitation for those interested in business, leadership, or career exploration to join us.
Our first meeting will be held on Wednesday, August 21st at 4:00 PM in Room 1204.
At this meeting, we’ll be voting on our leadership team for this inaugural year, so if you're interested in helping shape the direction of FBLA at NPHS, be sure to attend.
If you want to be a part of FBLA but can’t attend the first meeting due to a school activity or scheduling conflict, please let me know as soon as possible—either by replying to this email or stopping by Room 1204.
We’re excited for a fresh start and hope to build a strong and active chapter with your help!
