NAES is rockin' today! Way to surpass our building goal! Great job to the 6th grade for being on top!

North Adams Elementary welcomes student teachers, as they prepare to become classroom teachers! This week, student teacher, Ms. Weakley created a fun and engaging lesson with some of the students. Ms. Weakley read the book, "How to Catch A Turkey" aloud to the students. After the read aloud the students completed a graphic organizer that Ms. Weakley designed explaining the steps it took to catch a turkey. Finally, the students built a turkey trap to catch the turkey out of marshmallows and toothpicks.

Have you been feeling a little cold? Come out to NAES on December 11th to watch our 6th-grade students present, "Melton, the Warm-Hearted Snowman"! We hope to see you there!

NAES Preschool will be having its Christmas Program on December 9th.

🚨 Lockdown Alarm Update – No Threat to Campus 🚨

At approximately 2:22 PM, our lockdown alarm inadvertently dropped during dismissal. This was a false alarm, and our District Technology Department is already working to resolve the issue within the system.

We want to reassure our families that THERE IS NO IMMEDIATE THREAT TO CAMPUS.

Our School Resource Officer and administration quickly responded, cleared the building and outside of our campus, and students and staff resumed normal dismissal routines at 2:27 PM.

As always, we are grateful for the quick actions of our staff and students and appreciate your continued support.

6th grade has come back to lead the board! Another day that the building has met our goal. Keep up the amazing work, NAES students and families!

Mark your calendars now! We will be having our 2nd Family Night on December 4th, from 6:00-7:30. Come enjoy Santa's Workshop and have a night filled with fun activities!

6th grade has fallen behind, while 3rd grade comes out on top today! Our building-wide attendance has also fallen. We hope everyone starts feeling better so we can see you back here at NAES!

6th grade has pulled out in front of the leaderboard today! Overall, we have increased our building attendance today. Keep it up NAES!

Our 5th grade continues to hold the lead for attendance today! We have also met our building-wide goal. Keep up the great work!

5th grade has taken over the lead in attendance on this Fine Friday! As a building, we were just a little shy of meeting our goal.

At 11:22 AM, a lockdown alarm was triggered at North Adams Elementary. Our staff, students, and School Resource Officer responded immediately and appropriately, reporting to their designated safe areas. Students who were at recess were quickly escorted by administration to secure locations, and students in the cafeteria were guided to secure areas by our lunch and grade-level staff.

Administration and our school resource officers monitored both the interior of the building and the outside campus throughout the process. After a thorough investigation, we determined that the alarm was activated inadvertently.

To be clear, there is NO CREDIBLE THREAT to our campus. As of 11:42 AM, we have resumed our normal daily activities.

Our staff and students did a phenomenal job responding calmly and efficiently. Their actions ensured a safe and orderly transition throughout the brief incident.

1st grade has made it back to the top! We fell short of meeting our building-wide goal today. We hope everyone who is sick gets feeling better so we can see you back at school. WE MISS YOU! Let's get back up above 95%!

Today, we had the honor of welcoming 37 veterans to our annual Veterans Day program — and what an incredible morning it was! 💚💛

The program was filled with heartfelt songs performed by our students across grade levels and inspiring individual speeches that reflected deep gratitude and respect for those who have served our country. From the first note to the final salute, our Green Devils made us proud!

A huge thank-you to Sign My Yard for helping us showcase our pride by decorating the front of our campus with a beautiful display honoring our veterans. 🎖️
