NMS Family Weekly Newsletter

The first three days of the school year are in the books! Students made strides this week learning their schedules and mastering their locker combinations. It was good to have everyone back.

Parents, please have your child sign out of the office before leaving school grounds for an appointment. We are making a concerted effort to know the whereabouts of our students throughout the day and need your help with this procedure.

As part of this effort, we will be sending home notifications for students that have been marked absent from class. Please bare with us as we work to implement this notification process.

Questions? The Middle School Staff directory can be found here

Sincerely,

Mr. Creason

• A good suggestion for kids is to take a screenshot of the app and route numbers to make it easier to find the information after school on the first day.

Students are expected to dress appropriately for school. We will discuss the specifics of the dress code during class meetings at the beginning of the school year. Hats and hoods are to be removed as soon as a student enters the building.

Before School: Doors will open at the back entrance of the school at 7:00 a.m. for all students. Students must report to the supervised areas when entering the building.

After School: Students who are not scheduled to meet with a teacher, club, activity, or athletic practice must exit the building by 3:00 p.m. Students should not be in unsupervised areas.
