IMPORTANT ACTION NEEDED: Next Year Report Form- As we come to Quarter 4 of the school year, we understand a significant amount of our families may be making preparations to move due to permanent change of station orders. In anticipation of this, and in preparation for the next school year, it is important our administrative staff has the best understanding of the enrollment for next school year.

If you have multiple children, please fill out this survey for each of your Nimitz ES children.

AVID Page Update- Our NES 6th graders are almost elementary school graduates! They have been researching colleges and career pathways as they envision their future past highschool. After careful research and collaboration, they determined career goals for themselves as well as the steps needed to achieve their goals. Finally, they created an avatar version of themselves using Pixton donned in their graduation robes.  See their work on the Nimitz AVID Page. We wish this NES Class of 2024 the best as they move on to bigger and brighter things in middle school and beyond!
