First Day of School Reminders
Welcome Back Everyone

bus

We hope you all had an AMAZING summer.  Are you ready for first day of school?!   

 

We wanted to let you know what to expect the morning when you arrive.   

 

Please Ride the Bus: 

To alleviate the congestion in the parking lot, we encourage you to take advantage of the bus service.  However, if you are planning to drop of your children(s) expect traffic and delays so please plan accordingly.   

 

Car Riders: 

Please be sure to drop your child to the back of the school where they will be greeted by school staff and escorted safely into the school.   

 

Park and Walk in: 

For their safety, students may not be dropped off in the front of the school.  If you plan to walk your child in you can park in the lot at the front entrance (back lot are for teachers and staff - do not park there).  You may also park up in the comet trail parking lot and along the side the road next to the sidewalk (do not park on the dirt, you will block traffic).  Please do not park in the bus parking lot for the safety of our children.   

 

We understand it can be quite frustrating but please use good judgment and be courtesy to our fellow parents.

 

School starts at 7:50 am.

 

New to Nickajack?

Coffee and Kleenex for new parents will be held at 7:50 am in the Cafeteria.   Please join us for "comfort and coffee."  Veteran NES parents will be on hand to answer questions.  

 

 

Still Need to Join PTA? 

PTA  Membership still available for $5.00.  Look for us at the front entrance.
