NHES Newsletter

In our first two weeks of school so far, we are collectively working to greet students when they enter campus & the classrooms, recognizing their accomplishments & efforts in and out of the classroom through Shark PRIDE slips & Shark of the Week awards, offering a helping hand or solution-oriented idea from academic needs to playground situations to friendships, and so much more!

We know that when students feel welcomed, known & supported, they are more confident, more engaged & better prepared to thrive academically and socially.

• Thank you to our teachers for presenting a JAWSome Back-to-School Night last Thursday!
• To all our specialists for a successful first week of Shark Tank, Science, PE, Music & Dance.
