REMINDER.... ON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16TH....
ENJOY SOME CHIPOTLE AND RAISE MONEY FOR OUR NMS PBIS PROGRAM AT THE SAME TIME!
Parents of NMS 8th grade students,
If your child participated in the recent Stoller fundraiser (butter braids, etc.), the scheduled delivery date for items sold will be this Thursday, April 3rd. Please make arrangements to pick up your student’s order that day between 2:45-3:45 PM, in the NMS cafeteria. Keep in mind that these products need to be kept frozen, and therefore MUST be picked up at that date and time.
Our 6th grade campers are on their way back to NMS, and will be ready for pickup at 1:15PM!
On March 19, 2025, the 6th and 7th grade students pictured here were the Accelerated Reader prize winners, whose names were drawn from among those who reached or exceeded their AR goals for the 3rd nine week grading period. CONGRATULATIONS! KEEP READING!

FYI for parents
Cy Young Youth League Registration Information
Good afternoon NMS students and parents,
Last night, we experienced mechanical issues with the main air handler serving the new portion of NMS. While our maintenance staff was able to provide heat to all areas, the new side that services the cafeteria, science rooms and library is running at reduced capacity. Supplemental heat has been added to affected areas, ensuring comfortable temperatures in all classrooms. Most rooms were unaffected, but we encourage students to dress in layers, just in case.
We’ll keep you updated if anything changes. Thank you to our maintenance team for resolving this quickly without disrupting academics.

The NMS Girls' Basketball game scheduled for tomorrow (Thursday, December 19th) at TCC has some changes. The 7th grade girls will only be playing 2 quarters. The 8th grade game will be starting earlier as a result, around 5:30-5:45. Just an FYI so parents and fans can plan accordingly. Our apologies for the late notice.
This message is for parents and students planning to attend 8th grade Washington, D.C. trip scheduled for May 27th-29th. Due to a lower-than-expected number of deposits and participants, we’ve made the following adjustments to the trip to maintain its affordability without increasing costs:
Removal of Medieval Times: This experience has been removed to offset the additional costs caused by low participation. We will work to provide a fun, cost-effective alternative.
Removal of Class Shirts: While trip-provided shirts are removed from the cost, we will explore options to provide shirts ourselves.
Removal of Arlington National Cemetery Tram: Although the tram is removed, we will still visit Arlington National Cemetery. This change aligns with how the trip was organized in past years.
We wanted to share these changes promptly to give families time to reconsider participation if necessary. If these adjustments impact your decision, please notify us by Wednesday at 8:00 AM to ensure a refund of your deposit.
Thank you for your understanding as we strive to provide a memorable trip while managing costs. If our confirmed participation increases, we may be able to readjust the itinerary.
NMS WINTER WONDERLAND DANCE
NMS staff and students are invited to participate in "Countdown to Christmas" dress up days on our last week of school before Christmas break. Here is the calendar, which is similar to West School's for that week, hopefully making it easier on parents.
