Nash Sunday Smores

May 3, 2026
Hello Nash Families,
We had a fantastic week back after the April vacation, with students jumping back into their work. Our incredible RISE students showcased their talents at the Unified Games, representing our school with enthusiasm. Additionally, the Watershed Association visited to engage our 5th graders with some exciting science experiments. Looking ahead, May promises to be filled with wonderful activities. Just a reminder that our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders will be taking the math MCAS soon, and the 5th grade will wrap up the month with their science MCAS. Be sure to check the Nash Parent Council link for updates on end-of-year events!

The Playground is open.
Please read this important note regarding the playground:
Consistency is so important for our students that we find it important to share with you our playground expectations that we provide to the students during the school day.
We hope this carries over to after school and beyond:
Everyone plays – Every game is open to whoever wants to play as long as those playing are being safe, respectful and responsible during the game. Including others are expected behaviors.
Play safe – Students must play so that they and others are not physically or emotionally hurt. Students must avoid rough play, unsafe play, and name-calling. Examples of unsafe play include jumping from the top of the play structure or sliding into someone still on or near the end of the slide
Be Respectful- Students will listen and follow directions. They will be kind and provide other students an opportunity to use the play structure. Keep hands and feet to themselves.
Have fun and enjoy!
