We will continue to utilize ParentSquare for all school-to-home communications again this school year. ParentSquare is designed to keep parents and guardians informed and encourage greater engagement and connection with our district and schools. It provides a safe way for district administrators, school principals, teachers, staff, and parents to send and receive school and class information, share pictures and files, see calendar items, sign-up to volunteer, and schedule parent-teacher conferences all in one centralized place. For even more convenience, please download the ParentSquare app (available for free for iOS and Android devices).

We can't wait to see our Tigers in their new home.  One Tiger Family. Together We ROAR. 

We are less than two weeks away from the first day of school.  The construction team is trying to wrap up the final phases of the building project.  The teachers are working to unpack boxes and set up their classrooms.  The custodians are busily cleaning areas, moving furniture, and learning the ins and outs of the new building. The office staff is preparing and planning for everything else we need to start the year.  Below are some things that parents and students can do to get ready for the first day.

• Start adjusting your student's sleep routine.  Students are tardy if they are not in their homerooms by 8:10 A.M.  Students are allowed into the building at 7:45 A.M.  If your child is used to sleeping past 7:00 A.M., getting up earlier will take some adjustment.  
• If you do not already do so, start limiting screen time.  In order to follow CT and BOE guidelines, we will be requiring all students to put their cellphones in their lockers or hand them to their homeroom teachers to lock away.  They will not be allowed to carry them around with them during the school day.  Start now trying to ease any dependency students may have with their devices.  
• Have a plan for breakfast and lunch.  All NEMS students receive a free breakfast and lunch every day and we encourage all students to take advantage of the program.  We share the lunch menu on the website and in the monthly newsletter so you can plan ahead in case your student wants to bring their own lunch.  
• Have an arrival and dismissal plan.  If your student is fortunate enough to get a bus, please take advantage of that to ease the congestion in the parking lot.  If they are walkers, plan the route they will take.  No cars or pedestrians will be able to enter off of Felice Road.  All cars need to enter and exit using Stevens Street.  Walkers can enter using Stevens Street or the walkway that goes down to Illinois Avenue.  If you are driving your child to school, prepare for congestion, follow the directions of staff members on duty, and be patient and safe.  You may want to set up a spot in one of the surrounding neighborhoods where you can pick your child up without having to enter the NEMS parking lot.  
• Hopefully your child has been reading all summer.  If not, get them back into the habit and have them read for 30 minutes or more every day.  It is also a great time to practice their Math facts and do some Math activities that were provided by their previous teachers or are on a site like Khan Academy.  

We look forward to ​starting the year and getting to know all the students coming to ​the new NEMS.
