Nashville Elementary School

In 4 out of 5 school shootings, at least one other person had knowledge of the attacker’s plan but failed to report it. People who hurt themselves or others often show warning signs before they carry out an act of violence. #SaySomethingWeek #SaySomethingSavesLives #NCPSchools

I promise to be an #Upstander and ”Say Something” when I see someone at-risk of hurting themselves or others. #SaySomethingWeek #SaySomethingSavesLives #NCPSchools

Good afternoon, Parents/Guardians: Nash County Public Schools (NCPS) will conduct an important Mass Communication Test on Friday, February 9, 2024. This test aims to verify the effectiveness and efficiency of our communication systems, ensuring that we can reach all members of our school community promptly in critical situations. This test will involve each school in our district. For parents and guardians with contact information linked to their child's school records, please anticipate receiving notifications via text messages, voice calls, and emails. This initiative is crucial for confirming that our lines of communication are fully operational and that you are kept informed about your child's safety and school events. If your email or phone number fails during our test, please be advised that your child's school will attempt to contact you through alternative means. This may include sending a letter home with your child or employing another communication method over the following four weeks. We also want to remind you of the importance of keeping your contact information current in our system. You can review and update your child's details anytime through the PowerSchool Parent Portal, or contact your child's school. It is not uncommon for contact information to be incorrect by just a single digit, yet accurate details are crucial for ensuring that we can reach all parents and guardians effectively. Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to the well-being of our students and the broader school community. Thank you, Nash County Public Schools Click the following link for more info. https://nashdistrictupdates.edurooms.com/engage/ncps-communication-planning-engagement-department/newsletters/ncps-mass-communication-test-advisory

Good Evening Cardinal Parents, This is a 4 day work week for our students as this Friday February 9th is a teacher workday. Next Monday February 12 is a teacher workday as well so there is no school for students on the 9th or the 12th. We are working our way through the third nine weeks and will be closing in on the end of the school year before we know it. Please be sure to stay connected with your child's teacher regarding their progress in class. This summer there will only be a summer school opportunity for 2nd and 3rd grade students so we want to be sure all our students are making the most of their time in class now in order to meet the NCPS promotion standards. Our 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students will be taking their next round of NC Checkins assessments next week February 13th-16th. These tests are closely aligned with the EOG tests the students will take at the end of the school year so they are a good measure for us to see how our students are performing. We have a competition between grade levels to see who will win the trophy for the highest scores on the checkins. Our 5th graders hold the trophy after the fall assessments so we look forward to see if they will hold on to the trophy or if 3rd or 4th grade will make it happen this time around. We look forward to a great week at school and thank you for all you do to help us help our students. Good night.

This event is still happening tonight! See you there!

Good Evening Cardinal Parents, We were honored today to have Governor Roy Cooper return home to Nashville Elementary School where he went as a young child. He visited a few classrooms and spoke to our amazing students and saw our impressive robotics team in action. The message he was passing along about public schools was important and there were other speakers with great messages as well including our Superintendent Dr. Ellis, and NCHS Teacher Mrs. Hale. However, the highlight of this event in my opinion was the introduction of our Governor by our 5th grade student Elijah. He got a standing ovation from the crowd of over 160 people in attendance and it was so well deserved. We are proud of all our students, staff and families for the effort and work put in to make education important for our community. Have a great evening.
