Breakfast & Lunches: We are concerned that students who might qualify for free or reduced breakfast/lunch have not submitted an application to receive this assistance. We do not want any children who might need this service to have any difficulties in getting their breakfast/lunch. If there is any doubt, please be sure to complete the application. The application can be found on our webpage under parent/student resources and at this LINK.

NHS Tutoring: Is your child in need of academic support? Members of the High School National Honors Society provide tutoring to all Northern Burlington students. Middle School students can attend tutoring after school on Mondays and Wednesdays starting on September 25 in the Greyhound Learning Center. Interested students simply need to sign up during lunch their lunch period.
Winter Sports: Winter sports registration is now open for the 2023-24 season. This would be for basketball, wrestling, and cheerleading.
If you currently have an athletic registration account, please log in with your username and password. Do not create a new one. If you need assistance, please feel free to contact the Athletic Office at 609-298-3900, ext. 2093.
For the basketball team, in particular, there are tryouts. In order for a student to participate in tryouts, they must be medically cleared. So it is important to start the process now rather than waiting and risk not being cleared to participate in a timely fashion.
Middle School Students and Home Football Games: NBC home football games ARE NOT a drop-off event. Anyone in the Middle School or Elementary Schools attending a Northern Burlington home football game must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Northern FFA Fall Plant Sales: The Northern FFA Chapter will be holding 3 Fall Plant Sales during the month of September & October. Please see the flier for sale dates & times.
