NDLE Parents,
Reminder that Kindergarten Cap and Gown Pictures are Thursday, March 30, 2023. Please see flyer for more information.

NDLE's Extended School Day Program will conclude on Thursday, March 23, 2023.
Thursday, March 23, 2023 will be the last day for students to attend.
NDLE Students may wear green and jeans tomorrow! 💚

NDLE Extended Day Parents,
Due to the possibility of severe weather, our Extended Day Program has been cancelled for today. All students will need to be picked up at the carpool line or ride the bus home at the normal time.
Reminder that Kindergarten Cap and Gown Pictures will be Thursday, March 30, 2023, at NDLE. Please make sure your Kindergarten child is at school so they do not miss out on this special memory. You do not need to provide anything for the pictures to be taken. These make great keepsakes, with a portion of the proceeds going to NDLE to help fund student activities.

Awesome job NDLE Parents with helping us reach our Attendance Goal last week! Let's start and finish this 9 weeks off strong with everyone being at school everyday.
Students who attend school regularly have been shown to achieve at higher levels than students who do not have regular attendance. This relationship between attendance and achievement may appear early in a child's school career. A recent study looking at young children found that absenteeism in kindergarten was associated with negative first grade outcomes such as greater absenteeism in subsequent years and lower achievement in reading, math, and general knowledge.
