NEMS Extended Learning Programs Overview and Expectations 

Good Afternoon, NEMS Families, 

NEMS  Extended Learning  Programs are ready to have you register for programs.  This year we will have a soft start on Tuesday, Sept 1, 2026. Not all programs will start next week.

 Please know that you will receive a confirmation email from me, Denette Mannen, NEMS ELP Coordinator.   I will need a confirmation email back that you accept the schedule I have sent for your child to participate and I will need an email on days your child is absent or will not be able to stay for ELP.

  Please talk to your child or childrent before the school day to make sure they know if they are staying or not.  I have had some children stay without their parent knowing where they were; which can be fearful.  

Transportation is Car Rider pickup by  4:20 p.m. on the day or days your student stays or students stay.  If your child is in walking distance, I will need an email from you getting permission for him or her to walk or ride a bike, especially across Trenton Road at 4:30 pm.  I will place this request on your confirmation email form also. 

 If you are  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 that  day or 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.  

Please email letting me know your child is not staying so I am aware before the end of the school day.  

Again, parents will receive a confirmation email from denette.mannen@cmcss.net.  Please discuss with your childrent so they know to come to the theater when their grade level is dismissed to buses.  

Parents and Guardians, BUS TRANSPORTATION  WILL Not BE OFFERED, at this time,

Location for Car Rider Lines:  

Your child will need car rider transportation by 4:20  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 past the building entrance doors so we are able to load cars quickly and safely.  

This is two lines running through the staff parking lot, for those of you that are not use to using the area.  

DO NOT PARK IN A PARKING PLACE.  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). 

 I hope your child will be able to participate in this opportunity. We are thankful to have Army Youth Programs in Your Neighborhood (AYPYN) Grant Funding and guidance to develop this Extended Learning Program at NEMS. 

 Please register as soon as possible; spaces are  limited and will fill up quickly.  Your student will  be involved on multiple nights for different programs; you may leave me an comment in the other letting me know if only one or two afternoons work for you.
