The Week Ahead 

Jan 5 – 9 


Welcome Back, Nickle Students & Families! 

We hope everyone enjoyed a restful and joyful Winter Break. As we return to school, we are excited to reconnect, re-establish routines, and jump back into learning together. This is a great time for students to set new goals, support one another, and start back with a positive mindset. 

As a reminder, please ensure students return to school with appropriate clothing for daily PE classes, clean indoor shoes, and are dressed to go outside for the second half of lunch to enjoy a brief break and some fresh air. We look forward to a successful and engaging winter season ahead!
