Hello NCE families!

Hope you're all doing awesome! Can you believe we're almost at the finish line for this school year? But hey, let's not ease up just yet, there's still some cool stuff in store for us.

Just a heads up, our students still have a handful of projects to take care of, so let's cheer them on and finish strong! Oh, and MAP testing is happening until May 21st, making sure we're all on track.

We've got some super fun activities planned for different grade levels, like picnics, field trips, and field day. Keep an eye on the May calendar for all the events and don't hesitate to stay in touch with your kid's teacher.

Remember, attendance is crucial, so let's make sure our students are present and engaged until the very end!

We're a strong bunch, and together, we've totally got this!

Ms. Syevens

Friendly reminder:

When dropping off your students, you must walk them into the front office. Please find a parking spot, turn off your car, and walk your student to the front office.

You cannot park by the cones or the fire lane. Students cannot walk to the front office by themselves as this is very dangerous!

Thank you for your help with making sure NCE is a safe place!

 

Dear Sparks Families,

Friendly Reminders

• Please ensure your child brings a water bottle to school every day to stay hydrated.
• Please send a spare change of clothes with your child to use in case there is an accident/spill.
• If your child needs any medication during school hours, please reach out to the school nurse for further information.
• Please ensure your child does not have a fever 24 hours prior to coming to school. The student should be fever free for 24 hours, without the use of fever-reducing medications. If you have any questions, please contact the school nurse at the number listed below. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Hi Sparks Families!

 

Students in K-5th grade will be engaged in end-of-year MAP testing. The testing window will be from May 6- May 24.

Please view the schedule below to see specific dates/times your student will be testing.

• It is imperative that students arrive to school by 7:30 AM on the days of MAP testing to ensure they complete the test with their class. Additionally, it is important that students come to school with their laptop, charger, and headphones, as all tests are completed online.

 

• Most importantly, please celebrate your student’s hard work this year and motivate them to give their very best on this test! This test will measure their progress this school year and help them set goals. Remind them to take their time, show their work, and do their best! We know that all our students can be successful in showing what they know! Please take an opportunity to encourage them to do their best and remind them that we all believe in them! 😊

 

• It is imperative that students are present on the days of their MAP tests. We have a requirement by the district for 100% of students to be tested to ensure they receive proper support next year. If a student is not present on their designated testing day, they may be required to complete make up testing during special events such as senior walk, field day, and picnics. Please plan ahead so your student can be present on their day of testing.

If you have any questions or concerns about MAP testing, please feel free to comment below or email Mrs. Ybarra at Jaime.Ybarra@yesprep.org

 

Is your student using the school bus for the 2024-25 school year?

If so, please log into your Skyward account and complete the transportation registration form by June 14.

PS: If you forgot your Skyward login information, please message Ms. Bustamante.
