Good Afternoon, NEMS Families,
NEMS Extended Learning Afterschool Programs are ready to have you register. We will begin staying the week of September 29th (next week). Just make sure to only stay if you have received a confirmation email from me, Denette Mannen., and discussing staying with your student.
Transportation at this time is Car Rider pickup by 4:30 p.m. on the day or days your student stays or students stay. If you are umab;e unable to provide Car Rider pickup for any one day, please let your student know to go home at the normal 2:10 dismissal time on those days. He or she will still be considered a participant and will not be dropped from the programs unless you and I have communicated the change in scheduling.
Students and parents will receive a confirmation email from denette.mannen@cmcss.net.
Parents and Guardians, BUS TRANSPORTATION WILL Not BE OFFERED, at this time,
Your child will need car rider transportation by 4:20ish p.m. at the Car Rider line in the back of the building. If you park up front, you will be asked to drive around to the back of the building. It is easier to connect to the Car Rider line by driving into the NE campus off Merriweather Road and take the Car Rider access road by Northeast Elementary School. You may proceed into the teacher parking lot in the two lanes for your child to walk to the vehicle once instructed to load. Please pull up to the very end of the sidewalk so we are able to load cars quickly and safely.
This is two lines running through the staff parking lot-- please be mindful not to block in cars that are still parked, our teachers may be trying to leave around 4:30 pm.
DO NOT PARK IN A PARKING PLACE; YOUR CHILD WILL BE INSTRUCTED TO STAY ON THE SIDEWALK UNTIL his or her RIDE IS IN ONE OF THE TWO LANES. REMEMBER, WE WANT EVERYONE SAFE GETTING TO THE CARS.
Please see descriptions of all the NEMS Extended Learning Programs to determine which ones work for you and your student(s).
If you are interested in having your child participate in this opportunity to utilize our NEMS SOAR EXPECTATIONS, to have a GROWTH MINDSET, and to encourage your student to take responsibility for his or her learning. Please register as soon as possible; spaces are limited and will fill up quickly. If available, your student may be involved on multiple nights for different programs.
Your child will not be allowed to stay until you have received and accepted my confirmation email.
NEMS Soaring to New Heights Extended Learning Afterschool Programs mirror the NEMS SOAR Expectations during the school day.
Stand with integrity
Own your growth,
be Accountable and Responsible, and as always,
Represent Quality
Please understand that if your student is involved in the Extended Learning AFSP he or she will have the privilege to get support on studying, completing, and understanding the content or skills needed to be successful in his or her classes.
He or she will also have the opportunity to ask for assistance and to determine what part of the concept he or she is making mistakes on -- sometimes, it just needs to be said or explained by a peer or another adult to have difficult math, science, social studies, or ELA concept or skill make sense.
Some of the students just need a little extra time to complete the work. It takes to "train your brain" to remember the content, and to have a school environment that is less distracting.
Our SOAR EXPECTATIONS will be incorporated into the Extended Learning Programs and students will be able to earn additional Eagle Bucks for their determination; self-reflection; mistake-making; mind-opening, overcoming challenges, knowing that you just have to say: "I will try another way," and knowing, "I just can't do it yet, but I will improve through hard work and effort." I will stretch my brain beyond my comfort zone.
