Nexton had some visitors today from Cane Bay High School. The Varsity Cheerleaders and Football Players stood out front to encourage and High "5" our students. The athletes waited for students to get off the bus, out of a car, or walk to school.
This is COBRA COUNTRY and we are very excited to see what this athletic season has for all of the athletes.

Hello Explorers,
We have had many members of the Nexton Community reach out about being a volunteer. On Monday, September 8th at 9:00am, we are going to host an informational meeting for members wanting to volunteer. We know there will be future volunteers that can not attend, that is okay. We will get more information out at a later date. We will see you then.

As a reminder, this FRIDAY AUGUST 29th IS AN EARLY DISMISSAL for students. Students will dismiss at 10:50am. There will not be any NES Extended Care for students on Friday. As a result of Early Dismissal, please make sure your student’s teacher is made aware of any changes to transportation for your student for Friday. Please send in a hand-written note with your student. If you were planning to make any changes for students to ride the bus on Friday, the Bus Transportation office requires 72 business hours for any new requests and/or any changes to the bus stop drop off location. Since we are outside of the 72 hour window, those requests would not be honored for this Friday’s Early Dismissal.
Spanish:
Buenas tardes, padres y tutores:
Les recordamos que este viernes 29 de agosto los estudiantes saldrán temprano. Saldrán a las 10:50. No habrá servicio de cuidado extendido de NES ese viernes. Debido a la salida temprana, por favor, asegúrense de informar al maestro de su hijo sobre cualquier cambio en el transporte para el viernes. Por favor, envíen una nota escrita a mano con su hijo. Si planeaban hacer algún cambio para que los estudiantes viajen en autobús el viernes, la oficina de Transporte de Autobús requiere 72 horas hábiles para cualquier nueva solicitud o cambio en la parada de autobús. Dado que estamos fuera del plazo de 72 horas, no se atenderán esas solicitudes para la salida temprana de este viernes.

Now that the school year has started we have received information on students with food allergies. Our school is committed to protecting our students with food allergies, the picture is a letter explaining how we are following through.

Good Friday Explorers, There is a lot of information in this email.
If you are in Kindergarten or new to Nexton, you should have received a postcard in the mail. If you are a returning student, you should be able to see your homeroom teacher on the PowerSchool App by tonight at 5pm. Multiple factors are always taking into consideration and we try to uphold as many requests as possible, but sometimes it can not happen. Just know that our school continues to rank as one of the top elementary schools and that is because ALL of our teaching staff is amazing and any child would be lucky to have them.
Meet The Teacher is on Monday. Parent Orientation for CERDEP (4K) will be in the Media Center from 3:00-4:00 (Parents Only). Then 3K-5th grade (All Students) will have their Meet The Teacher from 5:00-7:00pm. You may enter the building from the front or back of the school. Please know that we have over 1000 students and parking is limited. You may bring your school supplies this day too. It is important on Meet The Teacher that every parent inform the homeroom teacher on how your child/children get home. Our Primary Goal is to get all children home safely and efficiently.
If you have not fully completed your registration, please know that your student does not have a homeroom teacher. If you visit Nexton on Meet The Teacher and are not completed, there will be no homeroom to visit. The front office will be closed during this time and we will not be giving out any car tags or assisting with registration. The office will be open from 7:30am-3:00pm on Monday, August 11th...if you need anything.
Our supply lists per grade level were sent out on our school website, Facebook, and through email to all students and staff. If you still need a list, please let us know or see your homeroom teacher on Monday
Attached is the Car Loop Maps, as well. Please know that we have two car loops and each one has its own way to enter. If you attempt to enter from another direction, you will be unsuccessful. Also, know that we will allow parents to walk students to their classes for the first three (3) days of schools (Aug 13, 14, 15).
If you bring your child/children to school by car....IT WILL BE CRAZY on the first couple days of school... please prepare for it, do not let it trick you or get the best of you!!! Please have patience... we will make sure that all parents get to have the "First Days Of School" moments. Administration will be assessing each day when to start marking students tardy on the first days of school. If traffic is backed up until 7:30am or later on the first days of school...then we will give and delay marking tardies. Just know that we will get to a point to where we will mark tardies after 7:20am. On normal days, our car loops will close at 7:18am to help get students to class on-time and also get our staff into their classrooms on time. On this day, you will not be able to enter the school building at the back/bus loop because of safety...unless are buses are cleared and off campus. Please go through the front
We truly want to THANK all of you and we are excited for this year. Please know that since 2015, we have been able to find a solution to every problem we have faced. If there is a concern or issue, please know we will help you. Our front office clerks (THE FAB 5) have been and will be working very hard to help, please stay positive. Lets continue to be the example for our children in difficult moments. Be Positive, Uplifting, and Encouraging in every situation.
See Everyone Monday!!!!



Please stop by at the times below:
Tuesday-Thursday (Aug. 5-Aug. 7) from 1:00pm-3:00pm
Friday, August 8th-7:00am-3:00pm
Monday-Tuesday (Aug 11-12) from 7:00am-3:00pm
You must be fully completed with your registration and a parent/guardian must have their ID to pick up a tag. We will not distribute any car tags during Meet The Teacher (5:00pm-7:00pm) on Monday August 11th.
If you haven't signed up yet, here is the link on the flyer

For our 3K (Pre-School), 4K(CERDEP) and K5 (Kindergartners) we will have a Play and Meet at the Great Lawn Playground at 105 Greeting House Road on August 9th from 9:30am-11:00am.
This will be a great time to see future classmates and build relationships with other families.
If you have a chance, please come by and see your wonder PTA.
Lastly, our PTA is such a strong part of our school. We are able to provide resources to our staff and students because of these wonderful people!!!!

We have had several families reach out to us about daycares and afterschool programs. These are all of the programs available for our students. If anyone decides to choose one of these programs, please let us know so we can change it in Powerschool.
Lastly, Thank You to all of our families, we have had 120 families complete registration so we are only 150 students away, which is THE BEST we have ever had. Keep 'em coming!!!!

You can still continue to fill out the google form or scan the QR code: https://forms.gle/brMsE7FWHk7ddDZG8

Please be aware that if 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade has an odd number of teachers like seven (7)...then one (1) teacher will keep their class for the entire day and provide all subject areas. As we get closer, we will send our a message of which teachers are teaming and who is not.
We are excited for this change because we fully believe our amazing teachers will be able to cut their preparation in half, which will allow them twice the amount of time to master their primary subject area for your child. Nexton always "sets the bar", but now we will be able to raise the bar even higher. See Everyone Soon!!!!

Please remember that if you are not fully registered, if you are missing one or more documents, your student will not be on a class roster. Whether you are new or returning, you must be completely registered. If you are missing any information or documents...make sure you have them turned in asap. Please remember, we are trying to do our best to eliminate the stress a parent will feel if their child is not on a class roster by send out multiple reminders to complete registration.

We are excited to see everyone on August 11th.
