Dear NES Families,

Students have worked hard to earn their Dunkin Dough and attend our PBIS event on Friday at the soccer fields. They will be receiving popsicles, enjoying free play time with their friends, and watching our students who are participating in the busking event.

We will be offering our next SAC meeting as a Google Meet to encourage attendance. Please keep a look out for that information in next week's newsletter for the March 13th meeting. We will be voting on officers, how to spend some of our school funding to best support students, and our upcoming parent engagement night in April.

We have had multiple instances lately with emergent needs to contact a parent and not having working phone numbers in Skyward. Please make sure to update your phone numbers with the school as soon as you get a new one in order for us to be able to contact you if there is ever an emergency with your child.

We look forward to continuing to learn and grow at NES! Have a wonderful weekend!

GOOOOO TIGERS!!!

Warm regards,

Mrs. Jessica Lowe, Principal

Mrs. Heather Briney, Assistant Principal
