Nash News

Dear Families and Nash Community members,

As we approach the much-anticipated Spring Break, I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for your continued support and dedication to our school community. We have accomplished so much together this academic year, and I am proud of the way our students have grown and thrived in the face of unprecedented challenges.

Spring Break is a time for rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation, and I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to spend quality time with your loved ones. Whether you plan to travel or stay close to home, I hope you find joy in the simple pleasures of life and cherish the moments you share with family and friends.

I wish you all a wonderful Spring Break filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable memories. Thank you for your continued partnership and support, and we look forward to seeing you all when classes resume on April 24th.

Warmest Regards,

Ms. Schuhwerk

Student attendance is essential for academic growth and social-emotional development. We value the time spent with family, however, we urge you to take vacations when school is not in session. If you are having difficulty getting your student to school, please reach out to me, the classroom teacher, or our school nurse. We are all here to support you and our students. Please make sure your student has a full night's rest and a good breakfast to maximize their learning potential.
