Dear NES Families,


Thank you to our parents that attended the PTO meeting on Thursday. We greatly value your feedback and have already started working on how we can involve families even more as we move into next school year.


Remember, the end of year assessments have already started for students in kindergarten through 2nd grade. Third through fifth grades will begin testing in small groups Thursday, May 1st. Please make sure your students are at school on time each day and have had a good night's sleep each night.


Students had a great time with their PBIS mini bash celebrations and the 5th grade kickball game this week! We are looking forward to our end of year PBIS events and celebrating student performance on their end of year assessments.


We hope everyone has a fabulous week!


GOOOOO TIGERS!!!


Warm regards,

Mrs. Jessica Lowe, Principal

Mrs. Heather Briney, Assistant Principal
