Dear Parents, Students, and Friends of NCES: St. Mark,
I hope you had a wonderful Spring Break and a Blessed Easter. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful Sunday to celebrate the risen Christ. Also what a welcome site it is to have the snow gone and the grass starting to green up. The days are growing longer and there Spring is in the air, what a good feeling that is.
I can’t believe how fast the school year has gone by. In just a blink of an eye our last day of school will be here and before you know it we will be opening the doors to the students for a new school year.
If you haven’t had a chance to register for next year, please do so very soon. We have had a number of new families touring the school, looking at enrolling their children in preschool, 4K, and K-5 programs. We still have some openings at all levels, but it is important for you to register as soon possible.
If you have questions regarding registration, financial aid or WPCP for the upcoming school year, please contact the school office. If you know of anyone interested in enrolling in the Newman system, please refer them to either our NCS Central Office or directly to our school.
Tina Meyer

The deadline for applying or renewing for the Wisconsin Parental Choice Program is April 15th 2021. Upcoming Emergency Practice Drills
Throughout the school year we regularly conduct safety drills. This spring we will participate in tornado, security, and fire drills. Our emphasis for drills, is to keep the students safe and to instill in them the importance of following directions.
Fire Drill: When the alarm sounds the teachers and students evacuate the building; childcare, 3P, 4K, and K-2 go to the West parking lot, grades 3-5 go to the parking lot just East of the playground. Designated school personnel check the bathrooms on their way out of the building.
Tornado Drill: The Wisconsin sponsored Tornado and Severe Weather Awareness Drill will be on Thursday, April 15. At 1:00 pm, a test Tornado Watch will be issued and at 1:45 pm, a test Tornado Warning will be broadcast. At that time, the students will evacuate the classrooms and proceed to the basement. Once there, they will assume the correct tornado safety position, kneeling, tucked into a ball, with hands over their head.
Security Drill: In May we will conduct our second “Lockdown” or “Shelter in Place” drill with the students. Prior to this drill, the 3P, 4K, and K-5 teachers will talk with the students about the importance of the Look, Listen, and Follow expectations (looking at your teacher, listening to your teacher, and following directions given by your teacher). If you have questions, you are welcome to contact the school office.
