One exciting piece of news for NSES is that starting the Wednesday after spring break 4/12, we will have a salad bar option at lunch for students and staff.

Hello NSES Families!
Here is a brief video discussing Lexia Core 5, this year’s new supplemental reading program. You may have heard your children share excitement that they’ve met their weekly minutes goal or have earned a certificate for working hard and completing a particular skill level! Lexia uses an adaptive blended learning model to adjust instruction based on each child’s individual Literacy skills and needs. Students have been using Lexia during the Language Arts block or during Chopper time this year. For more resources to use at home, please see these Lexia Family Resources. Don’t hesitate to reach out to our Reading Specialist, Kelly Vega, if you have additional questions.

A safety reminder for Kiss-n-Ride
Do Not Park - Stay in the line, students should absolutely not be crossing the parking lot during dismissal. We have had a couple accidents and close calls because people are parking, this distrupts the entire process.
A reminder that Virginia Law requires that all children age 7 years and younger to be properly secured in a child safety seat or booster seat. There is no height or weight requirement and they should not be in the front seat of the car.
Andrew Gause's Martial Arts
Transported After School Program - Our After School Program (AMP) is the perfect alternative to SACC/Daycare. Your child will get a daily Taekwondo class, snack and quiet/homework time. So a child should have gotten a good workout and their homework done when you pick up so you can enjoy the rest of your evening together.
