NSE Family News
Week Oct. 21-25
Help us in the mornings....
Instruction begins at 7:50
Even though students are not counted tardy until 8:00, instruction begins at 7:50. The last few weeks we have had an influx of tardies. When your child arrives after 8:00, they start the day off behind and out of routine and disrupt the learning that is already taking place in class. Please help us by making every effort to have your child here before 7:50. We appreciate your help with this.
Also, a reminder that if you do happen to get caught by that road work or train and arrive after 8:00, you MUST park in parking space and walk your child in to be signed in. Please do NOT park in the fire line as this is against the law.
Thanks!!

Olympic Points
The grade levels are in a year long competition to earn points. There are many, many ways to earn points. Here are just a few:
- Earn the golden award for the week
- Display behavior matrix behaviors in assembly, cafe, hallways, playgrounds
- Receive a student brag from the teachers
- Go above and beyond in showing the character word of the month

Parent Center Activities
We have TONS of activities working on a wide range of skills for students to check out and take home to do with parents or family. Each time an activity is completed, that child's team will earn Olympic points.
If you'd like to check out an activity, simply email your child's teacher and let them know. You can also reach out to Mrs. Morris or Mrs. Voegele at brittany.morris@cps.k12.ar.us or sherry.voegele@cps.k12.ar.us and let them know your child's name, teacher and if you'd like a reading, math, or social skills activity.
