NES is offering morning Educational Enrichment opportunities.

Beginning at 7:30 am students will have a choice of two activities to choose from.

Coding/Robotics Club!

Students in grades 3-5 will be invited to join Mr. Nelson in the Computer Lab Monday-Friday mornings for technology enrichment with Coding/Robotics.

Reading Lab

Mrs. Fullerton will have a Reading Lab for all grade levels located in the NES Library. Students will be given opportunities to take quizzes, read independently, or listen to another student read. They may also be able to practice on iPads.

Students will be admitted into the building at 7:30 am.

Do not drop your child off earlier. Supervision will not be available.

Double AAces is the after school program that runs Monday-Thursday. For more information and to register your child go to their website: https://newcastle21cclcprograms.weebly.com/21-cclc-registration.html

1) Frigid temperatures are coming! We do go outside for recess (sometimes shortened) if the temperature is above 0 degrees. Students need fresh air and love to play in the snow. It important that they are dressed for the cold. Please make sure to send your child with appropriate winter gear including a warm coat, hat, and gloves. They also need snowpants and boots to play in the snow. If you need assistance, please contact us. PLEASE PUT YOUR CHILD'S NAME ON THEIR GEAR!

2)Students should not be wearing shorts to school. If we had to evacuate the building, they may not have time to grab warmer clothing. Please make sure your child is dressed for winter weather.

Have you ever seen a dog in a bikini?

Jokes are a great way to help build vocabulary.

If your child has a joke to share, have them write it down and bring it to the office. It might get chosen to share on the morning announcements! I NEED NEW JOKES!

Thank you for letting us be a part of your child's educational journey. If you ever have any questions, concerns, or ideas please contact me. I am here to help and value your input.
