Honoring Our VeteransAs Veterans Day approaches, our school community comes together to recognize and thank the brave men and women who have served our country. This special day is an opportunity for our students to learn about courage, sacrifice, and gratitude. Throughout the week, classes will take time to reflect, create projects, and share ways to say “thank you” to veterans in our community. We invite families to join us in showing appreciation—whether by talking with your child about a family member who served or simply expressing thanks to a veteran you know. Together, we honor their service and celebrate the freedoms they help protect. Do you have a photo of a Veteran you'd like to share? We will be having a student assembly on Friday and would love to collect photos from our community. Please complete this form if you do.

A Change of Clothes for Wet WeatherAs the rainy season settles in, we’re seeing more soggy socks and muddy pant legs at school! Please send an extra set of clothes—including socks—for your child to keep in their backpack or cubby. Having dry clothes on hand helps students stay comfortable and ready to learn throughout the day. Our school supply of extra clothing is running low, so we appreciate your help in making sure every student is prepared for the wet weather ahead. Thank you for your support!

Morning Drop-Off: Please remember that student drop-off begins at 9:10 a.m. We do not have adult supervision before that time, unless your student is participating in an approved before-school activity (such as Safety Patrol). Thank you for helping us keep all students safe by arriving no earlier than 9:10. Afternoon & After-School Visits: We’ve noticed an increase in visitors entering classrooms after school hours because a student forgot something. For everyone’s safety, all visitors must check in at the front office—even if it’s just for a quick errand. If your child forgets an item, don’t worry! We’ll make sure they receive it the next day. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our school a safe and secure place for everyone. |

FREE NEURODIVERSITY WEBINARWhy is your bright, capable child so hard on themselves—or so exhausted after school? Why do they seem fine on the outside but melt down at home? Many twice-exceptional (2e) kids feel enormous pressure to “pass” as neurotypical, to meet their potential, and to hide the parts of themselves that feel different. The result? Anxiety, perfectionism, and burnout. In this candid and compassionate talk, therapist and autism coach Rainn Stone and neurodivergent educator Jamie Roberts will unpack the hidden struggles behind masking and perfectionism in 2e children. Drawing from lived experience and years of working with neurodivergent youth and families, Rainn and Jamie will help parents understand what’s really going on beneath the surface—and how to respond with support, not shame. Parents will walk away with:
This session offers both insight and hope for anyone raising a 2e child who’s trying hard to hold it all together. This event will be recorded and emailed to all RSVPs. NEW This event will have live Spanish translation. REGISTER HERE (free, donations accepted) This event is not affiliated with NSD- it is offered by REEL (resilience and engagement for every learner). |

Keeping Learning Consistent During Time OffThe upcoming months include quite a few breaks and special days off from school. The best way to support consistency in learning at home is through reading and practicing fact fluency! Even if your child already knows their addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts, continued practice helps them become faster and more confident. There are lots of fun ways to practice at home:
Even just a few minutes a day helps keep those skills sharp and builds confidence for the classroom! Here is a FREE fact fluency resource as well.
