Our students have been spud-tacular with their attendance! 🎉

🌟 Daily Perfect Attendance = POTATO HEAD PIECE

🌟 COMPLETED POTATO HEAD = POTATO CHIPS

These classes showed up, stayed committed, and helped their class build the whole Potato Head! 🙌

We’re so proud of our students for being present, persistent, and ready to learn.

NSES families,
Due to the extreme heat advisories for Friday, we will not have our Family Day event. Families are always welcome to come eat lunch with their child throughout the school year.

We know there will not be enough room in the classrooms to accommodate everyone.

A message will be sent via parent square later today.

We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming family nights! More info to come.

Our annual family day at NSES is this Friday- September 4th! This invitation was in Mrs. Williams' weekly update through parent square as well. Kona Ice and a food truck will be on campus. You can purchase lunch in the cafeteria (menu is on the flier) or, bring in your own lunch. It is sure to be a great day!

It's Book Fair Time at NSES!!
eWallet setup starts this Thursday August 27th
https://www.scholastic.com/bf/normansmithelementaryschool

Fair Dates: 9/17/26 → 9/25/26

This is a great opportunity to build your child’s home library with new books that will get them excited about reading, while also earning funds for our school. The easiest way to let your child shop the Fair independently is by creating a Book Fair eWallet through our school homepage. It’s easy to set up and easy for family and friends to add funds. With eWallet, you’ll also have the chance to contribute to Share the Fair™—the giving program that supports students at our school who need help buying books. Consider participating so that no child leaves the Fair empty-handed!

Visit our school's homepage to get the latest Book Fair news, shop our Online Fair, and more!
