Science you can see, touch and taste! 🧪🥤
Eighth-grade students at Hilliard Middle-Senior High School are bringing science to life through hands-on learning in Mrs. Russell’s classroom.
During a Root Beer Float Lab, students explored the three states of matter: solids, liquids and gases. As they created their floats, students observed how each state of matter differs in shape and volume and connected classroom concepts to a familiar, real-world experience.
Hands-on lessons like this give Nassau County School District students opportunities to investigate, observe and apply what they are learning. And sometimes, the experiment comes with a pretty sweet ending!

The Millage Referendum is a ballot renewal that allows local voters to invest directly in the daily operations of Nassau County schools. Because basic funding from the state legislature is inadequate to cover standard operating expenses, local school districts face severe budget constraints. Renewing this existing voter-approved millage fills these critical financial gaps. By securing these local funds, we protect our classrooms from budget shortfalls, allowing the district to keep the focus entirely on student success, providing competitive teacher and staff pay, continuing to improve safety, art teachers in every elementary school, and supporting athletics district-wide.

Missing just 2 days each month can add up to about 10% of the school year. Help your child make every school day count by building strong attendance habits all year long.
When students are in class, on time and ready to learn, they have more opportunities to build skills, connect with teachers and classmates, and stay on track for success.

Nassau County School District held its first Aspiring Principals meeting of the year, bringing together assistant principals from across the district for focused professional learning and leadership development.
This initiative is about investing in the future of Nassau County Schools by preparing today’s assistant principals to become tomorrow’s principals. Through collaboration, mentorship, and intentional leadership development, we are building a strong pipeline of school leaders who are ready to lead with purpose, support great teaching, and keep students at the center of every decision. By continuing the success of our schools, we are helping support strong communities.
When we invest in our people, we invest in the future of our schools, our students, and our community. We are excited to see these aspiring principals continue to learn, grow, and lead.

Friday, August 21 is National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day.
One conversation could save a life.
Fentanyl is one of the most dangerous drugs facing our communities today. It is often hidden in counterfeit pills or mixed into counterfeit prescription medications without a person's knowledge. As this powerful video explains, one mistake can have permanent consequences.
This National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day, we encourage every parent, caregiver, and student to take just a few minutes to watch this important message together and explore the free resources available for Nassau County families.
🎥 Watch the video: https://player.vimeo.com/video/925904443?h=12e0a90225
📚 Access the Family Resources on our website.
The Family Resources include:
• A Fentanyl Fact Sheet
• Parent Conversation Toolkit
• Student Online Learning Opportunity (earn 1.5 community service hours)
• Additional videos and educational resources
After watching the video, ask your child:
• What did you learn?
• Did anything surprise you?
• What would you do if someone offered you a pill that wasn't prescribed to you?
• Who are the trusted adults you can always talk to?
A few minutes of learning today could make a life-changing difference tomorrow.
Know the facts. Start the conversation. Protect your future.

The first few weeks of school are an exciting time, especially for our youngest students and first time bus riders. As drivers, schools, and families help students learn their routes, pickup and drop-off times may take a little longer than usual.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as everyone settles into a safe and successful routine.
Want to know where your child's bus is? Track it in real time using our bus tracking app: https://www.nassau.k12.fl.us/o/ncsd/page/bus-tracking-apps
Thank you for partnering with us to help make the first days of school a great experience for every student.
