NMS Family Weekly Newsletter

Thank you to everyone this week for your patience. The snow days have thrown everyone off but our teachers and administrative assistants are working hard to finalize grades to get them posted. Also a big THANK YOU to our custodial staff for having the parking lots and sidewalks cleared for students and faculty despite pretty harsh conditions. We appreciate all of their hard work.

8th grade parents, information regarding end of the year dates can be found HERE.

As technology gifts may be high on our children's wish lists this season, we're thrilled to introduce our partnership with SmartSocial.com. This platform provides many resources to help safely navigate the digital world.

As the plethora of resources may seem overwhelming at a glance, we recommend starting small and perhaps delving into one of the following topics:

• Social Media Agreement Templates for Families

• Top 5 Kids Cell Phone Safety Tips for Parents

• Avoiding Strangers, Drugs, and Dangerous Situations Online

• Combat Online Bullying

• Pros and Cons to Video Games

NSD2 is giving district parents/guardians free access to all of the SmartSocial tools. Just use this link to register: https://smartsocial.com/members?org=nippersinkrichmondburton

This free access is for our students' families only and valid until July 31, 2024. Please do not share the link with non-district families.

Let's make this holiday season not only joyful, but also a time for learning and growing in the digital age!
