We started the week out celebrating National STEAM Day with our fall family night.  Thank you to everyone that showed up, and we hope that you had a wonderful time.  Thank you to our community partners, WKU Center for Gifted Studies and the Corvette Plant for coming out and hosting some activities for our families.  We would also like to thank The Corvette Museum and the National Science Center in Nashville for donating free passes to give away!  We also celebrated Veteran's Day with our annual student-led assembly to honor our Veterans, and welcomed several district guests at the Nest who came to observe classroom math instruction.            

The district shared their annual STUDER parent/caregiver survey.  Please see the link down below (there is a link and a QR code you can use-whichever is easiest for you).  We appreciate your feedback in helping WCPS and NWES the best place for all of our students.   

In November, we will be focusing on Habit #3: Put first thing's first.  Habit #3 is important because it helps children learn responsibility, manage their time, and make good choices so they can accomplish what matters most before moving on to other activities.

🦅 Habit #3: Put First Things First

Putting First Things First means learning to prioritize what needs to be done before what we want to do. It helps children develop self-discipline, responsibility, and good time-management skills.

🏠 How can you practice at home?

Have your child complete homework before screen time.

Encourage them to take care of their morning or bedtime routine without reminders.

Let them help decide which household chores need to be done first.

Make a simple list of daily responsibilities and check them off as they are completed.

Talk about the difference between something they need to do and something they want to do.

💙 Family Question: Ask your child, “If you have three things to do today, how will you decide what needs to come first?”

Remember, Eagles: Do the important things first, and make time for the fun things later! 🦅

We will be hosting Thanksgiving lunch this year, and we'd love to invite you all to the Nest during your eagle's lunch time.  If you plan to attend (it will be on Tuesday, November 17th), please fill out this Google Form to help us be prepared.  We do ask that each guest pay when you arrive at school with exact change so that it helps speed the line up in the cafeteria, and gives you time to spend with your loved one (we cannot accept checks or debit/credit cards-the cost is $6.50 for 19 years and older).  Classrooms will come to the auditorium to greet their guests and pick them up so that everyone can walk through the lunch line together.  If you have more than one eagle, we will call them down so that everyone can eat together.  Sixth grade will be taking and selling family pictures to help pay for their sixth grade field trip-please see the information below. We are so excited for this opportunity to have you with us at the Nest!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!  Thank you for being an integral part of our school community and your child's education!

Student Attendance

Our goal this year is to have 96% daily student attendance. With that said, teachers and the front office will be reaching out more often to check on your children if they are absent. Official letters will be sent home if a student has three, six, or ten unexcused absences. If a student reaches six or ten unexcused absences, then our truancy officer will be contacted. Parents get five parent notes. If your child misses school, please provide a parent note or doctor's excuse within five school days of the absence.  Also, please take note of our new truancy law for this school year.  You may click here to read more about it.
