Message from the Principal
Happy New Year!
I hope you had a wonderful time during the holidays. We are ready to begin the third quarter and we are eager to get started. We are going to continue working hard to help your child learn and do his/her best.
You will play a crucial part in our success with your support from home. Your encouragement about school, reading at home, and bedtime routines are crucial to making sure your child is able to do his/her best at school. There are articles below that will help you accomplish these things. Good attendance is also a key to success. Your child being at school every day will provide the learning opportunities needed to meet their goals.We appreciate Your help at home will make all the difference in the world! We are community and that makes us #MustangStrong!
Sincerely,
Lundy Atkins
NSE Principal

Attendance Works: A Community Imperative
Attendance Reminder
PK graduation is determined by attendance. If a PK student misses more than 17 days in the school year he or she will not be able to participate in graduation. All other grades are at risk of retention if 90% attendance is not met. Most of all, each day missed is a missed opportunity to learn. Unless a child is sick, he or she needs to be in school.
Our goal for the year is to reach 97% attendance. Help us reach our goal!
