Winter Spirit Week!

Cold Weather Gear

With the colder temperatures, we ask that students come to school prepared with cold weather gear. Students will go outside each day unless the actual temperature or real-feel temperature is below zero.

Aspiring Teachers Club- Attention Grade 3-6 Students

Coming this January, 3rd through 6th grade students will be given the opportunity to join the Aspiring Teachers Club. In this club, Miss Hill and Miss Amaro are looking to inspire future educators. Students will learn about the role of an educator by participating in various activities such as how to create a positive learning environment and how to plan thoughtful and engaging lessons. Permission slips will be sent home the week of December 2nd and are due December 20th. If you have any questions, please reach out to Miss Hill or Miss Amaro.

Lost and Found

Please remind your child to visit our Nerge Lost and Found throughout the next several weeks as it is full of personal items in search of their owners!  We invite you to look through the Lost and Found during upcoming events.  Unclaimed items will be donated in the new year.  

Dress for Winter Weather

As we orbit into the winter weather, please remember to send your child(ren) dressed for the winter weather.  We do go outside for recess daily unless conditions are below zero.  We encourage you to label your child’s hats, scarves, gloves, snow pants, and boots to ensure they stay within your child’s possession all winter season!

Nerge Families, Broadcasting Club Needs your Help! 

We would like to get Nerge families involved with the Nerge News broadcast. We know we have so many incredible Nerge Knights who shine in and outside of school. We would like to use Nerge News as a platform to acknowledge and celebrate all the amazing things Nerge Knights are doing both in and out of school.  If you would like to share a recent accomplishment or exciting event happening in your child’s life, please fill out the form attached here.  Then, we will feature the student(s) on our Nerge News broadcast! Some examples might be a student’s participation in a spelling bee, a student winning the championship with their soccer team, or a Nerge family’s celebration of a special holiday. Thank you for helping us celebrate all the wonderful things our students are doing outside of school.   

– Mr. Waldau and Miss Lettecci
