Looking for a safe & quiet space to complete schoolwork after school at NASH? The NASH Cafeteria will be supervised by a staff member from 2:15 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day after school, beginning this week. It is asked that students be respectful of the opportunity, have something positive and productive to work on, and ensure that they have arranged for transportation to be picked up by 4:00 p.m. This opportunity is meant to be similar to a “study hall” during the school day. Students are not permitted outside the NASH Cafeteria area unless they are under the direct supervision of a staff member. Students are not permitted on the second or third floors of NASH after school hours.
