Some Ideas to Show Appreciation...
- Send an eGift card from a LOCAL business - many local businesses and franchises offer eGift cards - send the gift card directly to the staff member's email address.
- Send a physical gift card (call to request/order) from a LOCAL business - Physical gift cards can be mailed to NPE (be sure to include the teacher’s name), 1118 Old Cherokee Road, Lexington, SC 29072 or you can drop them by... Administration will coordinate delivery to each teacher or staff member
- Send an eGift Card to a Teacher or Staff Member – Big box retailers and other large service providers offer eGift cards as well – think Amazon, Target, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, OfficeMax, Hobby Lobby, etc.
- Teacher Appreciation Photo Collage – have your student collect pictures and use a free template to create a collage to share with your teacher/staff member via email..

Important Attendance Updates - From Mrs. Harrison
Attendance - Every time your child is absent, the attendance office needs to be notified in writing (medical excuse or parent note)
Click here to enter a parent note
Click here to email a medical excuse
While emailing a teacher about your child's absence is greatly appreciated, it is not considered an excuse.
Please be aware that a student is only allowed 10 parent notes per school year. Any other absences will require a medical excuse.
If you have any questions regarding attendance, please email aharrison@lexington1.net or call Mrs. Harrison at 803-821-3304.

Tardy - Too many late students recently - walk your child into the office if they arrive at 7:40 or later
If your child is late due to a medical appointment, please bring a school excuse from the medical office where they were seen.

Principal's Post
From Mr. Candillo
Hello LIONS,
This week, we will celebrate the incredible people that serve our little LIONS every day. Please take a look at the section above with some really neat ideas that our PTA put together. This year has presented some unusual challenges and put a few obstacles in our path. Our team has really come together to move past any barriers and provide the best education for all of our students. I'm incredibly grateful and honored to work with such a devoted and talented team of educators!
We are continuing to improve our playground and outdoor seating and more changes are on the way. We are also currently working on plans to finish strong and gear up for next year. Kindergarten registration is open. If you know a family who lives in our attendance zone and has a child who will be 5 on or before September 1, 2021, PLEASE ask them to go online now and register. Share the PDF flyer (linked above) with them.
The next few weeks will be very busy around NPE! Don't forget to help your child create some balance and take care of emotional needs! Let us know if you need anything or if we can assist in any way. We're always a phone call or an email away.
Thank you for being such an amazing and supportive community!
Sincerely,
Robert Candillo
