NMES focuses on an educational agenda.Invitations for private activities will not be distributed at school. A class Contact List can be distributed to all parents within each classroom (with individual parental permission) including student name, phone number and/or email address. Parents/students can use this list to contact friends privately (not at school) for personal invitations.Non-essential items will not be permitted at school. These include all items that are not required for regular school activities such as all toys, games, playthings (such as cards) or other valuables. If special activities are scheduled, that may include such items, students will be advised by their teachers.
