Happy Friday Citizens of Nellie,
It was a great start to the New Year this week. We appreciate your efforts to help your children get back onto a regular sleep scheduled and arrive at school on time each morning.
School Fees for the 2024-2025 school year are due when assigned. There are currently many outstanding fees for fall field trips and special events. To check for outstanding school fees, please log in to your MyCBE account: Pay Online With MyCBE
The Prize Draw for those who have joined the School Council Facebook will take place in January! Join now to enter: Nellie School Council Facebook Page
Want to Volunteer for a field trip or special event at school? Ensure you have followed the volunteer processes required by CBE to be registered and have the appropriate clearance: Parents and guardians are able to register to volunteer online in the SchoolEngage tab in their MyCBE account. Members of the community without a child in the system can also create a SchoolEngage account.
Once volunteers have created an account, they can complete the Annual Volunteer Registration form and submit to school. Volunteers will receive an email from policesolutions with a link to follow to complete their clearance application form and redeem the voucher for payment. When volunteers have their clearance document (PIC VS), it can also be uploaded and shared directly with the school through the SchoolEngage account. Schools and volunteers can see their application status and if more information is required by the school to complete the process to volunteer.

Why Volunteer?
• The shifts are daytime or evening, approximately 4-8 hours long.
• If you can help with just one shift, you alone raise approximately $1,500!
• It’s a fantastic way to meet others in our school community.
• No experience is needed – training is provided!
• Enjoy a free meal during your shift.
What does “working a casino” mean?
You’ll assist with jobs like counting money, refilling chips at tables, or helping customers cash out. All tasks are computerized, and there’s a paid supervisor to guide you.
Who can volunteer?
Anyone 18+ without a criminal conviction. Friends, grandparents, and adult siblings are welcome!
Join us for fun, connection, and supporting our school’s future!
