Dear NHS Community-- May 1, 2020
Our Teacher Car Parade will be Tuesday, May 5 in staggered starts beginning at 1:00 PM. Please note the time change and route change below. It is Teacher Appreciation Week, so we are hoping that students can make signs and also some noise as we pass by!
Student Government: Sidewalk Chalk
Our Student Government Group is sponsoring a Sidewalk Chalk competition and the theme next week is…...Teacher Appreciation! They thought that some children may need sidewalk chalk, so they have purchased in bulk and are willing to deliver to your home. Please see information and Google Form from Student Government:
Student Government: Legos
Our Student Government team also wanted to be sure our youngest students had legos during the school closure. They are sponsoring a drive to collect legos from families who no longer use them, sanitize them, and distribute to families who need them. Here is their timeline:
~ Forms go out on Friday
~ Pickups take place Monday-Friday (5/4-5/8)
~ Legos will be disinfected overnight on the 8th
~ Distribution 5/9 & 5/10
If more Legos come in the following week, we will plan to do the same thing.
The two links for each of the forms are below.
For those looking to DONATE legos:

Next year
Many parents have expressed concern that their child may not be ready for the next grade when school starts in the fall. I’d like to reassure you that we will be ready for all of our students and know that they have had a different experience during this last trimester of 2020. It is our job to be ready for students and to adjust our instruction to meet their needs right where they are when they come back to school. I will be sending a separate letter on Monday with more information about how we plan to create classes for next year. There will be an optional form for your input if you would like to complete it.
Thank You
We’d like to thank you for your support. Our teachers are working hard to provide a meaningful educational experience for your children. We couldn’t do it without YOU! And, we know you didn’t sign up to be a teacher, but here you are! We also know that there are times when schoolwork needs to take a back seat to family schedules.
