Dear Parents,
Are you ready to think about back to school? Our
students may not be ready. (Some of our parents are
definitely ready!) This issue of the e-Trumpet covers
some basic and new information for the new year.
Do you know of a new family that is coming to NCHS?
Forward them this e-mail so they too can be
prepared and informed of the school stuff you already
enjoy!

Bus Service
~ Holy Trinity Catholic School in
Grapevine and St. Andrew's School in Fort Worth
each provide a bus service for NCHS.
Holy Trinity Catholic School:
The bus leaves at 6:45 am daily. There is a charge
for each student that rides the bus. For more
information about this service and/or to reserve a
spot for your son/daughter on the bus, please call
the Holy Trinity School office at 817-421-
8000.
St. Andrew's School:
The bus leaves SAS at 7:10 am from the church
parking lot. The bus departs from NCHS two (2) times
after school; 3:05 pm (arrive at SAS @ 3:30) and

information about this service and/or to reserve a

Volunteers
~ Volunteers are the lifeline of
our school and we appreciate those who volunteer
their services. For your convenience a Volunteer
Opportunity sheet is available online. Please return
this sheet to the Main Office as soon as possible.
Volunteers will be subjected to a background check
and required to attend one of the sessions mentioned
in the feature article before providing services to the
school. We truly depend on your help and thank you!
Visit the Volunteer
page
in the Campus Life section of
the NCHS website for volunteer opportunities,
contact information, and a volunteer Q&A.
New Technology
~ Students that use the
computers at school (library or computer lab) are
urged to use mini portable USB devices instead of
floppy disks to save their work. This will minimize the
problems we have with disks getting stuck in the
floppy drives. These small devices hold 16 - 128 MB.
One would most likely hold all of a student's work for
the entire year. We will have them available to
purchase in the computer lab at a price better than
retail!
August 12-Half Day
for ALL STUDENTS -
12:04 DISMISSAL - "A Day" schedule.
First Full Day
~ Friday, August 13 will be the
first FULL DAY for all classes beginning at 7:45 and

forget to wear your uniform and ID on lanyard.
Report to your first period class. We'll start with "A
Day" schedule.

Kristen played in the "Grand Slam" tournament in
Wichita Falls. She placed 3rd in singles and won
doubles (with the girl who beat her in the singles
semifinals). She also played in the "Pro-Am"
Tournament at TCU in June. It was an "open"
tournament in that it had no age divisions, and
included pros and college players. Kristen, age 14,
won her first match. In her second match she lost to
a 24 year old graduate of the University of
Tennessee ranked at the time #10 in the nation.
Although Kristen lost, she was given a standing
ovation by the fans who were watching.
