Wednesday, May 20th - 5:00


Tomorrow, Friday, May 15th, is "Walk or Bike to School Day" for interested NMS students. IF your child returned the completed permission form by the deadline, he/she can participate. This is an optional event that some students wanted to participate in.
Otherwise, students will walk to or be dropped off at NMS as usual. There will be no PARKING in our back parking lot tomorrow, due to our "PBIS End of Testing Carnival" event, but student drop-off remains the same. Sorry for the confusion on the form.


8th Grade Graduation
Dear Parents,
NMS 8th Grade Graduation will be held on Friday, May 22, 2026.
We ask that families not arrive before 12:45 PM, as we will still be in the middle of lunch for our students. You may park in the Mediwise parking lot or the lot behind the Middle School, but everyone must enter through the main entrance door across from Mediwise (Door #3, which faces River Street).
Graduation will begin promptly at 1 PM. If you need accessible seating, please contact the NMS office so we can reserve seats in the bottom row for you.
8th Grade Grad Dinner and Dance will be from 6-9 PM on Friday, May 22. This event is free and open only to NMS 8th-grade students. Students will enter through the cafeteria doors. Once they arrive, students may not leave before 9 PM unless a parent picks them up at the door and a staff member checks the parental ID. Students are encouraged to dress comfortably, adhere to school-appropriate attire, and are also welcome to follow the "Arabian Nights" theme.

An informational meeting for all adult chaperones for the DC trip will be held next Wednesday, April 29th @ 6:00 PM in the NMS auditorium.
Also, the final payment for the Washington D.C. trip was due Friday, April 17th.
If you have not yet paid that, please do so ASAP. If you do not know your balance,
feel free to call our office at 740.498.8151.
