Welcome to Week 21!

Welcome to another short but busy week!

There is no school on Monday, January 15, in honor of Martin Luther King Day. We cannot wait to see everyone again on Tuesday!

Report Card Day

January 16 is the 2nd 9 Weeks Report Card Day. Awards for grades 3-5 are held on Tuesday (invites sent to the families whose child/children are getting an award). 

  • Third grade                        8:30 AM
  • Fourth grade                      9:10 AM
  • Fifth Grade                        9:50 AM

After School Tutoring

Tutoring sessions start this week for students who were invited and signed up for our after school tutorial program. Tutoring is on Tuesdays and Thursdays unless your invite specifically indicates one or the other. Tutorial ends at 4:30 PM, and students are picked up at the parent pickup circle as usual. Please bring your pickup cards! 

Individual APTT Meetings

Classroom teachers will be reaching out to families to schedule the individual Academic Parent Teacher Team meetings during the month of January. These meetings are held to review your child’s progress in class. It is also a great opportunity to meet the teacher if you are new to NES! Don’t forget that the state assessment results are available to parents in the parent portal, accessed through Skyward.
