NLMS Weekly Updates and Reminders 9-27-2020
This is Mrs. Dagenhart calling with this week's message.
Parent Conference: Parent-Teacher conferences are scheduled for Wednesday, September 30th. These will be virtual as much as possible, and teachers have been reaching out to schedule a conference with those they need to meet with. However, if you would like to request a conference for your child, please reach out to your child's teacher to make a request. Face to Face conferences will only be scheduled on a case by case basis. If you have received a request for conference from your child's teacher, please respond to this request.
School Calls: Lincoln County Schools has migrated our phone service from one carrier to another. As a result, a call to you from school will show up as a 666 number. Please know that it's not the devil calling. It's someone from North Lincoln Middle. If you've called and believe you haven't received a call back, it may be that you may have missed a call from a number that you didn't recognize.
Spirit Wear Order: Monday is the last day to turn-in school spirit wear orders. We will do one more order before Christmas.
