How is faith integrated into the school day and how often do students attend Mass?

Nouvel welcomes students from all faith-filled backgrounds. Our students participate in weekly Mass and come together to celebrate as a school community. Mass is held in the Performing Arts Center each Wednesday. Theology class is a part of our curriculum and content varies by grade level, including discussion on world religions and time for personal reflection. We integrate virtues, good decisions and behaviors, and service to others in all we do, while celebrating everyone’s unique talents, gifts and beliefs.

Is Catholic education worthwhile?

A Catholic education is a worthwhile investment. We find that our students are offered opportunities and scholarships that they may not be afforded in a larger school. With an outstanding graduation success rate and post-secondary opportunities, students are prepared to succeed every step of the way. There is tuition assistance available at Nouvel Catholic Central, as well as various scholarships, for eligible students, plus flexible payment options for all families. Our Admissions team will work with you to share all opportunities available for your family. Visit our Tuition Assistance page to learn more about our opportunities.

Are students required to wear uniforms?

A Nouvel Catholic Central student’s manner of dress and good grooming is indicative of pride in oneself and school. Nouvel has an established dress code with several opportunities for students to still express their own creativity. Information can be found on the website and within the Parent/Student Handbook.

May students leave for lunch? 

For the safety and security of our students, Nouvel has a closed campus.  The school offers a full-service cafeteria.  Students may bring a lunch from home, however, delivery of outside food is not permitted.  

How do parents contact teachers? 

Teachers may be contacted by note, phone message or email. A listing can be found on our NCCHS/JH Faculty page.

How often are report cards issued? 

Report cards are issued each quarter through our Skyward system. Grades can be monitored by parents and students, at any time, via the Skyward system.

What if a student will be absent all day?

Parents are expected to call the attendance voicemail at 989-399-2465 or email by 9 a.m. on the day of an absence.  This ensures the school knows the student is safe and accounted for.  

What if a student has an appointment and needs to leave school?

The parent or guardian should send a written, signed note to the main office before the start of school on the day of the appointment or can email.  The student will be given a permission form to be released from class.  The student will sign out in the main office, indicating the time he or she is leaving the building.  If a student comes back the same day, he or she should sign back in.

Parents can pick their student up and drop them off at the sidewalk leading to the athletic office, located in the rear of the school building across from the athletic complex ticket booth, or the main entrance.

Transcripts can be requested through Parchment. Parchment can be accessed here: Transcript Request.  Legacy school records are maintained at the Diocese of Saginaw and can be requested through the Office of Education by calling 989-797-6651.
