Dear NES Families,

Each year, the $35 Chromebook fee helps cover the cost of one free repair and provides essential monitoring software that helps keep your students safe online.

If you haven’t paid yet, there are several convenient options:
💻 Pay online via School Cash Online

💵 Send in cash or a check (payable to NES) with your student
🧾 Need to pay in parts? We’re happy to work with you!

The payment due date is September 30th.

A fee waiver and household income form were sent home at the start of the school year. If you need additional support with school fees, please don’t hesitate to use those resources.

⚠️ Important Reminder: As we head into winter, students who have not paid their Chromebook fees will not be able to take their devices home in the event of inclement weather or NTI (Non-Traditional Instruction) days.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to:
📧 kelly.owen@bullitt.kyschools.us

📧 beth.blissett@bullitt.kyschools.us

Thank you for your continued support!

In accordance with Kentucky law, we are writing to provide our annual notification regarding school safety. Kentucky Revised Statute (KRS) 158.1559 requires that all school principals provide written notice to students, parents, and guardians about the state law concerning terroristic threatening (KRS 508.078) and its significant penalties. Please see the attached images for the complete Memo!

NES families, let's talk Chromebooks! Each year the $35 chromebook fee helps pay for the first free repair and monitoring software needed to keep your students safe. If you have not paid yet, you can pay online via School Cash Online. Please visit bullitt.schoolcashonline.com to pay directly. Students can bring in cash or check (payable to NES.) We can also accept payments in parts if need be! The payment due date is September 30th.
A fee waiver and household income form went home at the beginning of the year if you need further assistance with school fees.

Winter will be here before we know it, and any student who has not turned in their chromebook fees will not be able to take their chromebooks home in case of inclement weather.
