Order School Supplies Today!

Eliminate the hassle of back-to-school shopping by purchasing your child’s supplies online. Visit

https://www.educationalproducts.com/ShopPacks/ and enter school code: NER001 to purchase. Orders will be taken until June 25. After that date, there is a late charge for orders through July.  For questions, email nerge.pta@nullgmail.com .

Report Cards Online June 5

Nerge School parents/guardians will be able to view their report cards online this semester on June 5, more than a week before the hard copy report cards are mailed on June 14. District 54 is piloting the online report card in an effort to share information in a timelier manner and to become more environmentally friendly by not printing report cards for parents who prefer the online version.

I want to ensure that all of our parents have access to this early viewing of the report card, so I highly encourage you to sign up for the District 54 Infinite Campus Parent/Student Portal before June 5. The portal is a website and app where parents and guardians can view their children’s grades, assignments, immunizations, test scores, demographic information and now report cards.

If you have not previously logged on to the portal, contact our front office for instructions on how to obtain a secure Campus Portal Activation Key.

If you have already created an account, to view the report card on June 5 you must first log in to the account from a computer (the report card will not be accessible in the app).

Click on the Report Card link on the left side of your screen. This link will take you to another page, where you will be asked to log in again for security reasons. After logging in, you will see the report card files for all of your children. Click on any of the report cards to download the pdf file.

This year, on June 14, we plan to mail a report card to each home. Next year, we will only be making hard copies available for families who are unable to access the report cards online.

•          Residency needs to be proven each year now.  You can upload your paperwork through the portal or you can send it to the office.  Things needed are your current property tax bill, mortgage bill if it shows property taxes paid, or current lease if you rent.  Also, 2 additional items such as water bill, driver’s license, electric bill, gas bill, voters card or car insurance.

•          The consumable fee is $50.00, which can be paid through the portal or a check, made out to School District 54, can be sent to the office.  To avoid a late fee please pay before November 15, 2017.
