New to NES 6th Grade?

School Mission Statement: As a school, we will educate and empower independent, creative, problem-solvers who demonstrate exemplary character in a global society.

6th Grade News

This site was last updated 3/8/2010.

The 6th grade does not give '0' grades. The minimum grade a student can receive is a 50%. If you find that your child has received this grade, it most likely means that nothing was handed in for that assignment.

Here is the March lunch menu.

Here is a current version of this week's newsletter!
