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.
