Nickajack PTA is thrilled to welcome back the various vendors and clubs that make us such a wonderful school!  Some new guidelines have been put into place to ensure the children's safety and liability protection for the school. 

All parents who plan to have their child participate in an after school club or program must adhere to the following:

1. All children must be enrolled in Nickajack/Cobb County ASP to participate in a club, even if they do not plan to attend. This requires parents to only pay the $10 fee to become registered in the system. Forms are available in the NES school lobby.  You DO NOT have to SEND YOUR CHILD to ASP. They simply must be enrolled in the system.  This is a safety net for you, your child, and NES should you not be able to pick up your child on time.

2. All children enrolled enrichment and who also attend ASP must be current on ASP fees. If you have an outstanding balance with the county ASP, your child CANNOT attend a club. This will be monitored and reported to ensure compliance.

To REGISTER for ASP in order to participate in the Enrichment programs:

Step 1)  Fill out the appropriate form or register online (if applicable) for the Vendor (payment goes in ORANGE envelope)

Step 2)  Fill out ASP form and include the $10 registration fee (GOLD Envelope)

Envelopes located outside the office door.  Please COMPLETE information needed.  Drop in BLACK BOX located out side office.

Playing chess has proven to help students enhance their creativity, improve their power of concentration, develop and expand critical thinking skills, boost memory and retention, and achieve superior academic performance. Additionally, chess has been shown to augment problem-solving capabilities, provide cultural enrichment, advance intellectual maturity, and enhance self-esteem... qualities that we all desire for our children.

 

Registration Now Open for Nickajack's Kindness and Compassion Club!

We had a fantastic kick-off to kindness at Nickajack with our Power of One Walk on Wednesday, August 22nd, Georgia's official "Random Acts of Kindness Day."  The Griffin Middle School K2O Club joined some of our fifth grade KC Club members to "spread" kindness by displaying positive messages throughout the Nickajack campus.  We will continue to emphasize the significance of random acts of kindness by continuing our challenge to build the longest kindness chain possible.  All students are encouraged to add a link to the chain whenever they commit an act of kindness or when they observe others doing so. 

For the past three years, we have offered students the opportunity to participate in the Rachel's Challenge Kindness and Compassion Club after school.  Students in our KC Club represent leaders in the effort to promote kindness and compassion on the school campus.  They learn about the importance of kindness and giving and about numerous ways that they can make a difference in the lives of others.  KC Club students will participate in school, community, and even global service projects.
