Nelsen Staff Dinner, Nov. 24

NOTE:  We have only received a few responses!!!  We need as many people as possible to bring dishes for at least 75 or more staff members!

PTSA will be putting together a dinner for the staff on Tuesday, November 24th (in between the Parent-Teacher Conferences).  We would like to provide a nice dinner for them, to let them know we appreciate what they will be doing for our kids.

We will need: main dishes, casseroles, salads (green, pasta, etc.), fruits, appetizers, veggie trays, chips and dips, desserts, or any other yummy items.  Please deliver it to the staff room (by the main office) Nov. 24th, anytime during the morning or afternoon.

If you don’t have time to shop or make anything, we will also accept monetary donations.  Please deliver or mail your checks, made payable to “Nelsen PTSA”, c/o NMS, 2403 Jones Ave. S., Renton, 98055, no later than Nov. 20th, to allow time to shop for the items.

We also need help with the clean-up (approximately 6:00pm).

If you have any questions, or if you can help, please contact Erica Conway, at ericaconway@hotmail.com, or 206-787-0264.  Please also e-mail Erica if you are planning on bringing something, so she can keep a tally of the food.

Thank you for your anticipated help and support!

 Parent Conferences, November 23 & 24

The first quarter has ended and report cards were mailed.   We’d like to discuss your student’s first report card with you, so please plan on attending conferences on Monday, November 23 from 12:00 p.m - 2:30p.m.; or Tuesday, November 24 between 1:30 – 4:00 p.m. or 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.   All Nelsen staff will be gathered in the main gymnasium.   You then walk about the gym and spend about five minutes with each of your student’s six teachers.   General consensus among staff and parents is that the time (though brief) is well spent.

**Please note that we will have early dismissal at 11:00 a.m., Nov. 23, 24 and 25.**
