Nashville Elementary School

Good Evening Cardinal Parents, Report cards will be sent electronically tomorrow afternoon to your child's email account. Please be sure to log in with them to see how your child is progressing this first nine weeks. We will send academic trouble letters home this week as well to let any parents know if their child is not on track for meeting the NCPS promotion standards. Next week we will have our first ever NES veterans day parade and breakfast at school. We invite any of our parents or grandparents who are veterans and would like to be in our parade. Please let your child's teacher know if you or one of your family members will participate so we can have the breakfast prepared. Thursday November 9th is an early release day and Friday November 10th is the Veterans Day holiday so there is no school. Our running club did an outstanding job at the race in Nashville this weekend and we look forward to them running again in December in Rocky Mount. Remember to put names on hoodies and sweatshirts so we don't accumulate too many in lost and found. Thank you for all your support. Good Night.

Good Evening Cardinal Parents, We are ready to kick off the month of October and have a great first week of the new month. Please continue to have your child arrive at school before 8am so they can be in class by the 8:00 tardy bell. If you bring your child to school and plan for them to eat breakfast then they need to be at school before 7:55. Bus students who arrive at school after 8 are able to get breakfast and are not marked tardy. Mrs. Denton and Mrs. Gill continue to work to get our students on buses and to have them running on schedule. We have just a few more weeks in this grading period so please pay close attention to your child's progress and help them study at home to best prepare them for meeting their grade level expectations in the core content areas. Please join us on October 17th at NCHS from 5-7pm for the CTE Business and Industry Roundup. There will be all sorts of fun activities for students and families to learn about careers in the workforce. There will also be lots of food trucks out so your family can get dinner while you have a hands on experience with many careers. Thank you for your continued support of the students and staff at NES. Good night.

Nash County Public Schools CTE BUSINESS & INDUSTRY ROUNDUP This event is designed to guide students through a progressive journey of exploration and growth. • High School - Our program encourages students to engage their horizons by delving into available internships, and job opportunities, equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed in the professional world. • Middle School - As students progress to this stage, they explore various industries - gaining insights into what different businesses entail, how they operate, and the path to get into those positions, helping them envision their future paths. • Elementary School - expose young minds to the world of business - offering hands-on experiences that ignite their curiosity about potential careers. Stepping stones for growth. #NashCountyPublicSchool #NCPS #CTE #ncpschools
