Congratulations to the 2026 Mustang Homecoming Court.
The interest letter for Jr. Beta Club members to attend the field trip to Charleston must be returned to Mrs. Nobles tomorrow morning. The letters were sent home last Wednesday and Mrs. Nobles spoke to each Jr. Beta Club member. Those interest letters are needed in order to secure the hotel rooms and charter bus. If we do not receive enough letters tomorrow, the trip may be canceled due to low participation. Please send Mrs. Nobles a message or email if you have any questions.
Be Excellent Today!

South Columbus Dixie Youth Baseball Registration will be held in the Nakina Middle School gym this morning from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm.
Monday, February 9, is Parent-Teacher Conference Day for all schools except CCCA. This is a great opportunity to meet with your child’s teacher and discuss how your child is doing in school.
There will be no school for students on this day so that we can focus on these important meetings.
Conferences will be held from 11:30 AM to 7:00 PM. You may choose a time that works best for you and meet in person, by phone, or online—whichever is most convenient.
During the conference, you will learn about your child’s strengths, areas for growth, and ways we can work together to support their success. To schedule your conference, please contact your child’s teacher directly.
Thank you for your continued support of your child’s learning!
