NEST News
October 4th, 2026
Eagles, welcome back to another exciting week in the NEST!
The weather is starting to change and the leaves are beginning to fall. As we enter this fall season, let's continue to push our students toward academic excellence. I truly believe that we can move the needle in student achievement—not just on the SOLs, but with essential life skills.
The Journey to 2030 strategic plan emphasizes student preparation for life beyond K–12 schooling. We are teaching life lessons so our students are ready for the world. The middle school years are critical, and we only have three years to make a lasting impact. With that being said, we will continually need your support to make these pivotal years productive.
October is National Bullying Prevention Month. Elko Middle School does not tolerate any type of bullying. We strictly follow the Code of Student Conduct to investigate, address, and resolve any issues. School should always be a safe place for students to learn and thrive, and we will continue to cultivate this type of environment.
A huge shout-out to all of our parents and community members for supporting our World’s Finest Chocolate fundraiser! Your generosity provides funding to support special events and incentives for both our students and staff.
We appreciate all your support in making Elko one of the best schools in Henrico County Public Schools!
