I-MTSS LAUNCH AT NBMS:
Week Seven Parent Focus - What Parents Can Expect from iMTSS
As part of NBMS iMTSS, students will be enrolled in a tiered support course during 3rd and/or 8th period at the beginning of each marking period based on their individual needs, with opportunities ranging from targeted interventions to enrichment. For Marking Period 2, supports will focus on math, reading, writing, behavior, attendance, and social-emotional learning, with additional supports added throughout the year as student data and needs are identified. Tier placements will be reviewed each marking period; however, students who continue to benefit from the same support may remain in that tier or course for an extended period. Parents are encouraged to log into Home Access Center (HAC) each quarter to view their child's assigned iMTSS support and may contact a building administrator by email with questions about the specific support their child is receiving.
NBMS STAFF SPOTLIGHT for October:
The Lincoln Center is now in Room 1! (near the Gym)
NBMS is excited to welcome The Lincoln Center for Family and Youth (TLC) as a new program within our school, providing a small, supportive learning environment focused on the whole student. Through personalized academic support, social-emotional wellness, leadership and life-readiness development, and an emphasis on connection and belonging, TLC will provide participating students with additional opportunities to grow academically, socially, and personally. We are excited about this partnership and the additional layer of support it brings to our NBMS school community.
