Updates!

28/6 Please welcome our three new second-grade teachers to the staff of NSoD: Ms. Meka, Ms. Zmeea, and Ms. Louhcy. For the next 2 weeks, NSoD will not be having classes. Instead, we will be holding a Holiday Fashion Show, hosted by Puzzle. Details will follow in the next week. Also, please note that the UC school is seeking applications from any interested teachers, and we hope to have it up and running again by the end of the fashion show!

30/5 We've had an eventful week here at NSoD! Ms. Zarova and Mr. Grooviy will no longer be teaching with us, which means that the fifth grade system has undergone a few changes. Council will still exist between Mr. Moz and Ms. Komodors, but students must now receive an 18/20 to graduate, and the 10/10 rule is still in affect. You can read more about the updated council system in the "School System" section! Happily, we also have a new teacher. Ms. Jaune has taken over class 3C! Everyone do your best to make her feel welcome, and have a good week customising!

5/28 Teachers, please start submitting your rates for the week. Students, your rates should be posted by tomorrow afternoon. Hope you all enjoyed your first week back!

5/19 Howdy students! Classes will officially resume next week with a few changes. Ms. Sel will no longer be teaching with us. I hope you've all had a nice break and are ready to get back to customising (and for the AC))!

5/16 We are now under new management. The former admin, Mr. Neb, has been promoted to headmaster for various reasons (none of which are a hostile takeover, we assure you). This position may very well be temporary. We will make sure to keep you posted! Classes will continue as normal this week, and the new classes page may be found here!

8/3 School will be suspended for the next three weeks due to the impending absence of your Headmaster for some real life issues. In the mean time, some fun activities have been planned! The first of which will be hosted by Mr. Moz of fifth grade. For more information you can go here. After this springy contest, there will be a "rate your teacher" activity hosted by Ms. Una of second grade. Don't be too harsh, they're not too fond of revenge!

28/2 We've had quite a few changes this week!Fifth grade will now be taught in a council consisting of Mr. Moz, Mr. Grooviy, and Ms. Komodors. More information on how this will affect you can be found in the updated Info section.
Also, a new page has been added in memory of our founder, Draigar145. Teachers, if you have a memorial that is not acknowledged on there or have any suggestions, please neomail Vovinam290!

14/2 Since we've had a 2nd grade teacher who hasn't updated her notes this week, all of her students are going to be passed on to 3rd grade. We're really sorry for the inconvenience for you all, but we hope that this will make up for it. Happy Valentines Day!

31/1 Last day of the month and rates are already posted! Make sure to check them out and get ready for classes next week!

28/1 The week is almost at an end! Teachers should begin to send their rates in now. Most of you have done a great job this week. Keep it up, and don't forget, your teachers, admin, and Puzzle are all happy to help you!

17/1 Classes will continue through next week, so be sure to use this extra time wisely and work to impress your teachers, students!

14/1 It's almost the end of our first week back, so teachers, please start sending in your rates! We'd also like to welcome Mr. Meggan and Mr. Olioro to the teaching staff as teachers of 4A and 2D respectively. Have a great weekend and remember to put the finishing touches on your outfits, students!

13/1 Welcome back to NSoD, and a special welcome to our new first grade students! Thank you to Lucy (alt1981black), June (vovinam290), and Game (gameboy42690) for hosting some of the new NSoD pages.

Also, Student and Staff apps are now CLOSED. Student apps will reopen on week 15.

Now that its the month of celebrating, NSOD will have a two week Winter break from 21/12-3/1. Don't worry though, there will be activities coming up!

6/12 The week starting 7th December will be a double week, meaning week 11&12 will be counted as 1 school week. Rates are only due at the end of week 12. Make good use of this extra time to make your pets look even better! Stay tuned to the boards for more activities.

1/12 Yay! Its December!

17/11 There will be a break this week. Yes, that means this week will be an off-week at NSOD. Because I'm sick and can't update the pages.

Make good use of this time students. Check the board for activities/ guides/ chatting/ etc...

16/11 NSOD has won an award! Check out the trophy cabinet link :)

6/11 The school will be updating with a new look! And also more link back buttons coming soon.

27/10Couple of changes are as follows:

2) 5th grade classes will officially last 1 week, just like the other grades.

24/10 Teachers, please send me your rates for week 5 :D

19/10 5th week has started, so teachers get your notes ready :D

I'd also like to congratulate Sartyl, Una and Celeb for being NSOD's first graduates! A new link, Roll of Honour, has been added to the navigation bar. That's for the graduates. You should check it out =D

11/9 Alright everyone, you should really check this page: http://www.neopets.com/~Mozgalom

Yes, its NSoD's Halloween Mini Fashion Show!

8/9 Some of you might know this already, but for those of you who don't, your dear Headmaster will be away from this Saturday to next Tuesday. That means, this week will be extended to two.

So, we're going to have a HALLOWEEN MINI FASHION SHOW! Yay. Hosted by Game, teachers will be helping out. More information will be posted later :D

5/9 Week 4 has started! Keep the chatting on the boards going and keep improving those pets =) Teachers, you can post your notes as soon as they're done.

4/9 Rates for week 3 are up! Keep working hard, students =)

Oh, and another change of the school rules:

Those who fail 1st or 2nd grade will be kicked out within 2 weeks now instead of 3. However, you still have 3 weeks to pass 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade.

2/9 Alright everyone listen up! MAJOR CHANGES TO THE SCHOOL are as follows:

1) The school will be shortened by half. That means it'll only have 5 grades now
2) Of course, now it'll take double the usual score for promotion i.e. 2/10 for 1st grade, 4/10 for 2nd grade, 6/10 for 3rd grade, 10/10 to graduate fifth grade.
3) I realised that its too easy for students to skip second grade, so from now on, to skip second grade, you must receive at least an 8/10 for first grade. To skip third grade, 9/10 in second grade.
4) Weekly intake will be reduced to 15 instead of 20.

Oh, and teachers please be prepared to send in your rates for this week.

On that note, we are still recruiting teachers =)

26/9 Alright students, RATES ARE UP! Head on over to your classrooms now to find out if you passed =)

Also, we'll have a couple of staff changes which will be updated tomorrow.

25/9 Teachers, time to send in your rates! Try to do so by today so that I can update the pages.

24/9 Greetings students! Have you been listening to your teacher's advice? Quickly check out what your teachers have to say on the boards. Also, if your teacher hasn't posted yet, do neomail me to let me know.

As usual, Ratings will be done on Friday. Also, apps for third batch first graders will continue till Saturday.

School System

Each person may enroll one pet as a student at a time due to the limited amount of space. Teachers will not be able to enter their other pets as students unless they leave their position. However, teachers may teach more than one class using different pets, as long as they are prepared to rate multiple classes on a weekly basis.

There will be a maximum of four classes in each grade. Each class will have one teacher. The teacher will be the one to rate your pets, but all results will go through the headmaster.

Due to the limited number of spaces available, not all pets who apply will get into the school. Spaces will go to students on a first-come-first-serve basis Any extra students will be signed up for the following week of school.

A new school week starts every Monday. This is when new students are added to the classes and old students are promoted if they pass their classes from the previous week. Each school week ends on Friday, and teachers should submit their rates by Saturday. Rates will be displayed on the Classes page on Sunday.

Every Neopet starts school from first grade. In order to pass the first grade, your pet must obtain a rate of 2/10 or more. Second grade requires a rate of 4/10 or more to pass, third grade requires 6/10 or more, and fourth grade requires 8/10 or more. To graduate from the school, your pet needs to obtain an 18/20 the fifth grade council, each of whom will rate your pet individually, collaborating their scores together at the end. You must also obtain a 10/10 from at least one of these teachers. Should you pass, your pet will then be awarded with a certificate.

If the pet does not meet the requirements for promotion, he or she will be retained in the same grade for another week. However, if he or she is unable to improve and be promoted within the next week (for 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade), or next two weeks (for 4th, and 5th grades), your pet would be kicked out of the school.

Pets would be rated according to their colour coordination, use of items, creativity and theme. In short, to achieve a 10/10, your pet must have a unique theme, creative use of items and the overall look must match and flow.

Absenteeism

If a pet is not able to attend school at any point it must be for a legitimate reason, although specifics are not necessary. A pet is not allowed to miss more class time than it would take for them to fail a class (2 weeks for 1st-3rd grade and 3 weeks for 4th-5th grade). The pet will remain in the class they are assigned to during their absence and still be subject to grading. If a pet passes a class while absent they will be promoted. A pet who does not pass the class they are assigned to during their absence will not have it count against them. If your pet is going to be absent, please neomail sn8kougra, preferably two days in advance.

Skipping grades

If your neopet possesses outstanding qualities, he or she might be able to skip a grade. To skip the second grade, you pet would need a score of at least 8/10 in the first grade i.e. your pet can move straight to the third grade if he or she is rated 8+/10 in first grade. Only the second grade can be skipped.

Now that you've understood how the school runs, are you ready to enter?
