Report Cards

Middle and Upper School 1st Marking Period ends on Friday, March 19th and because Parent-Teacher Conferences are scheduled a week early this year, we will not be able to distribute student Report Cards at the conference as last year. We will however post student report card grades on Daedalus as soon as they are available. Also, you will notice that the 1st Marking Period grade is now numerical.

How the Final Course Grade will be Calculated... 
All Upper School students' grades and the grades received on Regents level courses taken by Middle School students will, going forward, be evaluated distinctly for each marking period (every 6 weeks). At the end of all three marking periods, which is also the end of the semester, a Final Grade for the course will be calculated based on the the average of the three marking periods and either the Regents score, if a Regents is given or the Final exam score. This average will constitute 85% of the student's Final Grade and the remaining 15% will come from the score of a Regents or a Final exam.

  • Please note that only the Final Grades and Regents & exam grades are posted on students' official transcripts. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Marking Period grades are give to show student progress.
  • With the exception of the Regents courses, all other courses in Middle School are annualized and will be calculated as previously.

Borough Champion in Shot Put

High School Varsity Indoor Track and Field
NEST+m had many stellar performances at the Manhattan Borough Track and Field Championships on February 14th, 2010. For the first time in NEST+m track and field history, Jasmine Girodani, a sophomore at NEST+m, won the girls shot put, becoming Borough Champion and the #1 female shot put athlete in Manhattan. Jasmine will compete in the City-Wide Track and Field Championship on February 27th at the New Balance Track and Field Armory. Jasmine also made it to the finals of the 55 meter dash finishing in 7th place overall.

On the boys team, everyone on the team improved and two athletes in particular, Robinson Almonte, a junior and Abhilash Kumar, sophomore, both medaled in the varsity shot put event. Robinson received 5th place and Abhilash was 6th in the shot put at the borough championship. This is the highest score NEST+m has ever had at the Manhattan Borough Championships, setting a new record.

The last track meet of the season for the track team is the Freshman/Sophomore Championship on March 7th at the New Balance Track and Field Armory. Girls compete at 9:00am and boys start at 2:00pm. Come check out NEST+m as they wrap up the season running!

Valentine’s Day Bake Sale needs Baked Goods & Volunteers

The PTA Valentine’s Bake Sale will be held on Thursday Feb. 11. At the Halloween Bake Sale, we ran out of baked goods long before the last students had arrived, so we need lots more cupcakes, brownies and cookies for the Bake Sale.In fact, we need at least 2,000 baked goods given the number of students in the building and many students like to buy more than one item. We also need parent volunteers to help sell the goods on Feb. 11, so please contact vpfundraising@nestmail.org if you have an hour or more free on Feb. 11 to help. Thank you!
