Home / School Communication

There are a variety of ways that the school regularly maintains communication and provides information to the parent community.

Nixon News

The Nixon News is a monthly newsletter published by the PTA and distributed to the children via their classroom. This newsletter will keep you up to date on all school wide events and activities as well as community events. It is sent home with your youngest child in the Friday folder, please look for it in their backpacks. NOTE: To stay informed this is the major source of communication.

Nixon e-News

Nixon publishes a weekly or as needed email newsletter which supplements the Nixon News. This is an excellent resource for a summary of Nixon events, calendar reminders, and a quick way to get out pertinent information that cannot wait for the Nixon News. NOTE: eNews is not automatic; it is by subscription request only. To be added to the distribution list please email (lindasbaker@hotmail.com).

School Directory - NixonNames

The NixonNames is a school directory which provides classroom lists by grade by student. It is also a directory of students in alphabetical listing to include; phone, email, address, parent names, etc. Inclusion in the directory is with parent consent. The directory is printed only once during the year, usually in October. Copies may be purchased for $6.00.

Friday Folders

The key to staying current with classroom activities and teacher communication is to look for your child’s Friday Folder. Each student gets one and they go home every Friday with information, classroom homework, flyers, field trip notices, room parent request, etc. Help your child keep up with their classroom activities by reading through the Friday Folder with them.

Parent-Teacher Report Cards / Assessments / Conferences

Scheduled conferences are held in the Fall, with an optional one in the Spring. Report cards go out 3 times a year; Fall, Spring and end of year.

Visiting School

Parents are welcome to visit the school. Please remember to sign in at the front office and wear a visit badge. To visit the classroom please make prior arrangements with the teacher so you can find a time that is convenient.

Annual Report to the Community

Each spring we publish a comprehensive “Report to the Community” which describes various aspects of our school program including; mission statement school philosophy, beliefs and values. Copies are available in the office.
