This year, our theme is "Nance Knights Have HEART!" As we celebrate good character and our students' commitment to doing the right thing, Nance Knights will be focused on showing HEART- honesty, empathy, accountability, respect, and tenacity this year! 

Here are a few reminders for families as we approach the start of the school year:

• In accordance with district policy, students are not allowed to have cell phones visible or in use during the day. Phones must be stored in bookbags in classroom lockers each morning. In case of emergency, please contact the main office to reach your child.
  
  
• Don't forget, Nance is a uniform school. All students should wear a blue, white, green, or navy polo shirt and tan, black, khaki, or navy pants each day. Jeans are only allowed on Fridays.
  
  
• School hours are 8:05 AM-3:02 PM daily. Door 6 opens at 7:50 AM each day for student arrival. Students who are picked up will be released from the gym beginning at 3 PM. Parents are asked to remain in their vehicles when dropping off and picking up students.

Dear Parents and Families,

I hope everyone has enjoyed the start of the school year! For 2023-2024, our theme is "Nance Knights Have HEART!" We are encouraging everyone-- students, staff, families and our community- to get excited about our new school core values of Honesty, Empathy, Accountability, Respect and Tenacity. As a school community we have defined our core values as follows:

• Honesty- To speak or act truthfully, no matter the outcome
  
  
• Empathy- To understand the feelings of others
  
  
• Accountability- To demonstrate the power to own your actions
  
  
• Respect- To treat yourself and others with kindness
  
  
• Tenacity- To keep going even when things get tough

Students have been engaged in culture-building and team-building activities during the opening days of school to learn about their classmates and teachers and create a positive community of learners, as well as helping to understand the core values and what it means to demonstrate them at all times. 

Here are a few additional reminders for families for the first full month of the school year:

• In accordance with district policy, students are not allowed to have cell phones visible or in use during the day. Phones must be stored in bookbags in classroom lockers each morning. In case of emergency, please contact the main office to reach your child.
  
  
• Don't forget, Nance is a uniform school. All students should wear a blue, white, green, or navy polo shirt and tan, black, khaki, or navy pants each day. Jeans are only allowed on Fridays.
  
  
• School hours are 8:05 AM-3:02 PM daily. Door 2 (parking lot) opens at 7:50 AM each day for student arrival/drop-off. Students who are picked up will be released from the gym beginning at 3 PM. Parents are asked to remain in their vehicles when dropping off and picking up students.

Thank you for your support with getting the 2023-2024 school year off to a great start!

In partnership,

Dr. Archer
