Greetings NEC Families, 

I hope you all had a restful break! We're so glad to have you back at NEC for the final stretch of the 2025-26 school year.

Next week, we are going to be on a stripe schedule for testing. Please read the testing schedule carefully - details are below. As always, be sure to arrive on time for testing and do your best to get a good night's sleep the night before. You've got this! 

With gratitude,
