Working Hard Until Break
Our winter break is just around the corner. We have school until Friday, December 21 and will return on Thursday, January 3. Winter break is a great opportunity for families to take a break from their normal schedule and enjoy some time together. I hope that you all have a nice break!
Teachers and students have begun and will continue to work very hard to complete middle of year testing. All of our students in grades K-5 are taking NWEA tests, iReady math, and also testing to determine their current reading level. Wow! That's a lot of tests. The purpose of so much testing is to best determine what students need for the rest of the school year. We will take these tests again in the spring.
To see what's happening in our school, be sure to check us out on Twitter (@enssprincipal) and Facebook (South Side Trailblazers).
Have a great winter break!
Sincerely,
Jeff Harper, Principal

Santa's Workshop
The South Side PTO is working hard to bring our students this opportunity again this year. Santa's Workshop will be held Tuesday, 12/11 through Thursday, 12/13. Each class will be given time to shop Santa's Workshop during the school day to buy Christmas gifts for friends and family members. There is a wide variety of gifts ranging from 25 cents to $5. Volunteers will be available to assist the students. An envelope will be coming home soon. Please have your child bring their money to school in the budgeting envelope to help with the purchasing process.
