Service Projects
All 8th grade students will be asked to complete a service project consisting of 15 hours of work designed to improve the community or world with which we live in. By the end of the project, students will be able to say with confidence, "I make a difference!" because they will have found a way to serve our community or world in a positive way.

Chrome Books
Nesbit Middle School Students will be issued a Chromebook for use both at school and at home. Once assigned to a child, the Chromebook will become the responsibility of that child through 8th grade. Children will take their Chromebooks home daily and are expected to bring their Chromebook to school every day fully charged and ready for use. Children are expected to use the Chromebook in accordance with BRSSD's Technology Use Agreement as well as Nesbit's Technology Use Agreement. Broken and lost Chromebooks will not be replaced. Therefore, children are highly encouraged to take the utmost of care with these Chromebooks. Should a Chromebook become unusable, the responsible child will no longer have access to a Chromebook at home. However, they will still have access to a Chromebook while at school. Upon graduation from 8th grade, the Chromebook will be returned to Nesbit School.

Students are not asked to make elective choices from a menu, rather, they are provided enriching elective rotations.
