Good morning Palomino Families,
Today is the day that Palominos are receiving their Nicolet Middle School ID cards and lanyards. Their ID card and lanyard delivered today are free but replacements will come at cost.
If your student did not receive it today, it is the goal to ensure they have it by tomorrow at the latest. We appreciate your patience in waiting for these to be delivered.
Like last year, these lanyards must be worn and visible at all times while students are on campus. If they take the bus they should also wear their lanyard. The only time a student does not need to wear the lanyard is during PE/sports when they are dressed out and participating.
Please also note that the picture must be visible. Please remind your Palomino that the picture cannot be covered by a sticker or other means. We appreciate your help with this reminder.
PAAC Track 1 stickers are also placed on the ID Lanyards if they qualify. Any questions on PAAC Track eligibility can be inquired with ASB, room 105, during the student's lunch time or after school.
Thank you for your support and if you have any questions please feel free to reach out to the Main Office. Take care and enjoy your day.

Meet Jose Sandoval, Teacher at Banning High School. His feature was submitted by his colleague Svetlana Abdulkarim. She says, " Jose Sandoval is a physics teacher with the Academy of Business. He does a lot of community service that benefits the high school and Banning. I've also seen him cleaning up our campus with 2 students. I enjoy working with him because he cares about our students and is supportive of their connections to the community." 💚💚 #BanningUSD
