Note from the NSES Admin Team:

Believe it or not, we are just a few days from the end of the quarter and already prepping for colder weather and the holiday season. Please note all of the upcoming school closings and early release days as we amp up student learning and dive deeper into the curriculum. With so many closures and breaks on the horizon, please make sure to minimize any additional absences for your student(S). We want to work with your children as much as possible and appreciate your partnership in their academic and social growth.

This week alone, we have a 3-hour Early Release on Wednesday, October 29th and a 2-hour Early Release on Friday, October 31st! Even with the shortened schedule, we will still be covering content and providing rich instruction. Please remember that partial days are just as critical as full days of instruction.

As we approach the end of the 1st quarter, we would like to express our deep appreciation for the community for your support and volunteerism. We have had a large influx of family volunteers and our students love seeing you in and around the building.

This year, we are planning on hosting interested families for Thanksgiving lunch on November 20th. Please RSVP through the google form (located in the flyer below) by November 13th, so that we can order enough meals.

As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions, comments, or concerns.

Warm regards,

The NSES Admin Team
