Nancy Young Elementary School is proudly celebrating its 25th anniversary, marking a quarter-century of dedication to fostering well-balanced world citizens. Since its establishment, the school has been committed to providing a nurturing and inclusive environment where students are encouraged to excel academically, socially, and emotionally. Through a rich curriculum that emphasizes awareness, cultural diversity, and community engagement, Nancy Young Elementary has equipped generations of students with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to thrive in an interconnected world. This milestone anniversary not only honors the school's past achievements but also reaffirms its ongoing goal to inspire and prepare young minds for a bright and responsible future.

Currently, we are missing about 15% of our population who we believe are returning to our school, but they have not registered. If you do not register, we cannot assign your child a teacher. If your neighbor or friend need a reminder, please forward them this email.

We want to congratulate Mr. Pape on accepting a position at Granger Middle School. We wish you the BEST of luck on your next adventure. Currently, I am interviewing for the open music teacher. We will announce the lucky person soon!

On August 6th there will be two opportunities for you and your new kindergarten(s) to come into NYE! Please pick one time either 5:00-5:45PM or 6:00-6:45PM and plan to come into Nancy Young Elementary. This is not mandatory; however, we do feel your attendance will benefit you and your child.

During this time, I will have a short presentation in the LMC for the parents and your child will be escorted to a kindergarten room by a friendly staff member. Your child will join some friends, listen to a story and work with a staff memeber.

We hope to see you there!

Please plan to enter the school in the front of the building by the main exit and leave through the recess doors as indicated on the map. Do not worry about navigating the building, we will have staff on hand to direct you and your child (ren) to their respective classrooms.

At 2:55PM we will ask everyone to exit the building. At that time, you will be invited to mingle with fellow community members and have a sweet treat provided by our amazing PTA on the blacktop.

At NYE we embrace the future, but we continue to honor the past. Since I have been named principal, we have hosted a FIRST and LAST recess. What is this!?! All incoming kindergartens are welcome to join us on the playground starting at 5:00PM on Tuesday, August 20th. During this time, I will be present, and we will officially "sign" each child up to join our family. Be sure to bring your camera, because this is a photo opt you will NOT want to miss. After the photo opt all children will enjoy the playground equipment as the adventure begins!

A short 13 years later NYE graduates will be welcomed back for our LAST recess. Bring the Kleenex to both events. :-)
