From the Principal’s Desk
Dear Parents, Students, and Friends of NCES: St. Mark,I can’t believe how fast the year has flown by. The end of the school year will be here in the blink of an eye and I am always so amazed at how the students have grown in so many wonderful ways in such a short period of time. Parents, you can really be proud of your child(ren). The students have been working hard all year long and I hope you are able to see and enjoy their growth and maturity.
A big thank you goes out to all our families and students. Your support throughout this unprecedented school year has been greatly appreciated. We were all tested in some way or another - wearing masks every day at school, staying in our own little “pods (class)”, learning virtually, figuring out which school door to drop off and pick up at, having a choice of how you met for conferences, and a multitude of other adjustments that were made in order to keep the school open. Thanks for your help… It Looks Like We Did It!
Our final newsletter of the year will include supply lists, updated staffing information, enrollment updates, 2021-2022 calendar information and good-byes to our wonderful fifth grade students.
