Gators, As the school year comes to a close, I want to thank our students and families for being part of such a vibrant and supportive school community. Middle school is a time of growth, exploration, and discovery, and it is our privilege to partner with families during these important years.

If you are considering enrolling your student, we invite you to join our high-performing school within Collier County Public Schools, an A-rated district recognized for its commitment to student achievement. Please visit collierschools.com/enroll.

One of the many benefits of enrolling in our school is the wide variety of courses, programs, and opportunities available to students. We encourage you to visit our website at CollierSchools.com/ENM to learn more about everything ENM has to offer and discover what makes our school such a special place to learn and grow.

The first day of school is Tuesday, August 11, 2026. Our school day begins at 9:05 a.m. and dismissal is at 3:50 p.m.

To our returning families, thank you for your continued trust. We are looking forward to welcoming students back to campus. As you prepare for the months ahead, we encourage students to stay engaged by reading regularly and exploring the 2026 Summer CCPS Classics Reading List.

We hope all students take time to recharge while continuing to grow as learners. We are proud to be a school you can trust and a choice you can feel confident making for your child’s future.

Mrs. Gallegos,
Principal, East Naples Middle
