Principal Letter
Dear NRE Community,
We are pleased to announce that the CMAS testing has concluded, with only a few make-up tests remaining. We extend our gratitude to all of you for ensuring that our students arrived at school well-rested and prepared for their assessments. A special thank you goes out to Ashley Casanova for her outstanding dedication in organizing all the test codes, rooms, accommodations, and staff - a truly monumental task!
As we look ahead, we want to remind you that we have two consecutive 4-day weeks back-to-back so next week is also a 4-day week.. We hope that this extra time will provide you with the opportunity to relax and spend time with your loved ones. Please note that all staff were off Friday, but we have professional development scheduled for next week. Superintendent Kane will be meeting with each feeder to deliver presentations to our staff, ensuring continuous growth and learning within our school community.
With just under 5 weeks left in the school year, we encourage you to remind your child(ren) to stay focused, finish strong, make wise choices, and, above all, demonstrate kindness towards one another. Let's work together to make these final weeks of the academic year a success for all.
Lastly, we wish you all a cozy and enjoyable extra day off. Stay warm and cherish the time spent with your family and friends. Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to our school community.
Stay Warm!
Katie
