New Mark's Robotics Team
New Mark’s FTC Robotics Team, Hurricane 5, had their 2nd Meet and won 2 of their 6 challenges at Park Hill HS on Saturday, December 14th. They consistently put up 30 plus points for their alliance team. They did a fantastic job competing against mostly high school teams.

Reminder: Wired Headphones
Students should NOT have wireless headphones at school. Please remind your child to keep wireless headphones at home. We know they aren't cheap and we would hate for students to lose them or for them to be damaged. We have wired headphones for students that may need them. Thank you for your help.
Inclement Weather for NKC Schools
As Dr. Daniels and Amanda Bearden shared last week, our inclement weather plans for this year have been updated to account for changes in state law.
8th Grade Encore Pathway Activities in Connections
Enrollment activities for the 2025-2026 school year will begin this month as 8th graders begin to explore Staley Pathways. All 8th grade Connections classes will participate in pathway learning activities during the week of January 13-17th.
8th Grade Pathway Information night-January 15th at Staley
New Mark families are invited to attend a parent information session on Wednesday, January 15th in Staley’s Special Events Center (SEC), from 6:00 to 7:00 PM. This session is designed for all families of incoming freshmen and will provide detailed information about our pathways. If you're unable to attend in person, Staley will provide this information in a recorded presentation prior to your student choosing a pathway. Please see the attached flyer from Dr. Smith with additional information.
Note: This meeting will be identical to the pathway meeting that was held in December.
