Dear NHES Families,
In preparation for the 2025-2026 school year, we want to inform you of some changes to the instructional bell schedule.
Our updated school schedule reflects slight changes to daily end times/dismissal, recess, and lunch periods. Please note this schedule update will begin next school year, 2025-2026.
We appreciate your continued partnership as NMUSD works together with us to create the best possible learning experience for every student at Newport Heights Elementary School and in NMUSD.
Here is a copy of the updated school bell schedule: NHES Bell Schedule 2025-2026. It will soon be available on our school webpage.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- NMUSD is working towards standardizing instructional days across the district, this includes standardizing recess and lunch minutes across our elementary schools
- recess = 20 minutes // lunch = 40 minutes
- yearly instructional minutes in the classrooms have remained consistent, no increase or decrease of students' time learning in the classrooms
