Dear NES Families,

Red Ribbon Week was so much fun! Thank you families for allowing your students to show their school spirit and celebrate Red Ribbon Week.

Your student should have brought home a Veterans day activity to complete if anyone in the family served in the armed forces. Please feel free to complete with your student and return to add to our wall of honor.

We are beginning to see a decline in attendance and an increase of tardies. Please remember, the gate closes at 8:10AM and this is the tardy bell. Any student dropped off after 8:10AM must be escorted and signed into the front office with an adult.

If you are still having difficulty with the Rooms app, please reach out to the teacher and/or front office so that we may assist you. This is a very important communication tool and we are working to make sure all parents are receiving information in a timely manner.

Thank you for partnering with NES to help your student succeed!

GOOOOO TIGERS!!!

Warm regards,

Mrs. Jessica Lowe, Principal

Mrs. Heather Briney, Assistant Principal
