Panthers' Clawset
Did you know that NES has a closet for gently used clothing, jackets, and shoes? Please contact the office if you are in need of items for students in grades 1-4. Our office staff can also assist you in finding clothing for preschoolers and students in grades 5-12.
We received many new items (with tags) and even have "Easter Dresses".

Brand new items, shoes, dresses, coats, ... all in the Panthers' Clawset!
Check out this 'vision board'. Kids create the vision of a healthy classroom using PAX.
Spring Testing
As spring approaches, students will begin the next series of testing. Students in first and second grade will be taking MAP testing mid-April. Due to state testing, students in third and fourth grade will take the MAP tests in early May. We believe that pushing the MAP assessments until May will help prevent test fatigue for our students who participate in high stakes testing.
Ohio State Testing
Students in 3rd grade will be taking the Ohio State Test (OST) in reading on March 30-31. This 2-day test measures students ability in reading and writing. Our fourth graders will be testing on April 1-2. OST math assessments will be held for third graders on April 27-28 and fourth graders on April 29-30. Please make every attempt to have students at school on testing dates.
When Should I Keep My Child Home From School
Attendance is a major factor in a child's progress in school. We appreciate the great efforts parents/caregivers are making to bring your child to school daily. Here is a note from our nurse to help you decide if your child should remain at home for the day due to illness. Unsure? Borderline? Call the office or send your child to school and we will call home if your child isn't feeling well. Thank you for making attendance a priority!
Keep child at home if he/she has:
Fever of 100 degrees or higher within last 24 hours*
Vomiting within the last 24 hours*
Diarrhea within the last 24 hours*
Severe cough/cold
Sore-throat/difficulty swallowing
Red, watery, burning, itching eyes
Undetermined rash
Lice in hair
*Children must be symptom free and fever free (without the use of fever reducing medication) for 24 hours before returning to school.
