Dear Nixon Families,
Happy Friday! I hope everyone is taking time to enjoy the Fall weather! This week we launched our Nixon after school programs. This Fall we are offering more after school options than ever before. Just to name a few, this week our kindergartners and first graders started a ballet class, our 2nd and 3rd graders enjoyed a latin dance class, 4th-6th graders started beginner and advanced band, and our 5th-6th grade girls started their volleyball season. I am excited that we are able to offer so many opportunities to help your students develop new passions, and to build positive self-identity and deeper connections to our community. If your child did not get an opportunity to join a program this Fall, please know that we will have Spring programs as well.
I hope you have a lovely weekend.
Sincerely,
Principal Chavarria

Update 1
As the cold weather arrives, I want to clarify our inclement weather entry procedures. When the temperature drops below 35 degrees, or when it is raining, we open the school doors at 7:30 AM. Please do not send your students before 7:30 AM. We do not have any one available to supervise children before then.
On inclement weather days, for the main building, grades 2nd-6th, all students should enter through the main door on Keeler Avenue. From there, students go to their assigned locations. For supervision reasons, we can't allow students to enter from the parking lot or the Dickens entrance. When we are on inclement weather entry, we will place a cone with a sign at the parking lot and Dickens entrances stating that students should enter through the main door.

Update 2
We have several events scheduled in the next coming weeks, please mark your calendars!
On Tuesday, October 24th, from 4:00-5:00pm, we will have our Family Literacy Night! Join us to learn about how to promote a love for reading at home!
Additionally, on November 1st from 4:00- 5:00pm, we are hosting our first ever Family Cultural Heritage Nights. These events are focused on sharing and learning about different traditions and customs that our families observe. We will have multiple such events this year. Our first event this November is focused on learning about Dia De Los Muertos. Join us to learn about where the tradition comes from, and to enjoy Dia De Los Muertos themed craft activities.
Please see Ms. Lopez or me if you are interested in volunteering for either event.
