Southern Nash Middle School

Good evening Cobra Families! Here are the weekly announcements: https://ncps.edurooms.com/engage/snms-weekly-principal-update-from-ms-horton/newsletters/weekly-announcements

On Thursday, January 18, at 6 p.m., the executive director of the Career and Technical Education (CTE) program, Chad Thompson, will discuss everything related to the CTE pathway and Career and College Promise Pathway at our Connect Inform Engage event at the Central office. 930 Eastern Ave, Nashville, N.C. 27856. So, why is this important for you to learn about now? Because your child is in middle school and can take CTE courses at the middle school level and when they get to high school. Your child can take classes that will count for college credits in high school. The future of your child's 'adult planning' starts now! CTE is a game-changer in your child's education and career path. Over 60% of students in CTE are targeting careers in fields like I.T., robotics, health science, and business, to name a few. Not only does CTE prepare students for the workforce with industry-relevant skills, but it also includes the Career College Promise, enabling students to graduate high school with significant college credits. The Career and College Promise - offered as a Junior and Senior only through the CTE pathway, is a cost-effective choice that reduces college expenses and provides a path to advanced college entry. This competitive edge often results in higher college admissions. It's an excellent opportunity for your child to stand out academically and professionally.

The most recent federal data show that in the 2020-21 school year, at least 14.7 million students nationwide were chronically absent. This means that chronic absence has almost doubled from the more than 8 million students, pre-Covid-19, who were missing so many days of school that they were academically at risk. Chronic absence — missing 10 percent or more of school days due to absence for any reason—excused, unexcused absences, and suspensions—can translate into students having difficulty learning to read by the third grade, achieving in middle school, and graduating from high school.
