WELCOME BACK!!!!!! Here is this week's NEMS Nuggets. Parents we need your help with several components: We need students present every day. Each day they are gaining vital information to prepare for GMAS testing that is 20 days away; we need your help to ensure students are showing up to school in proper dress code and demeanor; and we also need you to push your students to improve their grades to ensure they do not qualify for summer school.
We are in the last 7 weeks of school.....we need to keep pushing towards excellence

Students in Mrs. Nichols’ 7th grade math class are building their understanding of geometry through hands-on learning! 📐 Students are graphing three-dimensional shapes, calculating surface area and volume, and folding two-dimensional nets to create the 3D figures. These interactive activities help students make meaningful connections and deepen understanding in ways traditional instruction alone cannot.
🌸 Spring Break | March 30 – April 3 🌸
All Tift County Schools and district offices will be closed Monday, March 30 through Friday, April 3 for Spring Break.
Students and staff will return, and all schools and offices will reopen on Monday, April 6.
