A Reminder that the 6-8th grade Band concert will be on Tuesday, May 19th at Montague HS auditorium . We will start this concert at 7:30 (rather than the usual 7:00 time slot, due to golf and sports practices). Please communicate with the coaches of this event. This is a graded event and students are expected to be there! We only have a few performances each year and they have been working really hard to get ready for this performance.

All students will need to be at the Montague High School Band room at 7:15 pm for warm up. Students are expected to stay for the entire concert and to listen to all 3 of the bands.

Concert Attire is : All black on bottom (shoes - socks - pants - skirts - leggings) ALL skirts MUST BE BELOW THE KNEE. If they are not, they need to be wearing some sort of leggings underneath!! White Dress Shirts on top( - no tank tops - hoodies - tshirts with writing on them). If this is an issue for anyone, please reach out because I do have access to extra clothing.

NBC will once again host Camp Wildcat, a free summer program for our 6th-8th grade students. The camp-like experience will take place at NBC led by MAPS instructors! This will be a great way to give your child an opportunity to interact with friends, get outside and away from screens.

Camp Wildcat was created by our MAPS teachers to be a project based/integrated experience that will feel more like summer camp than school, even though there will be plenty of learning too! Students will be working on projects while learning necessary academic skills.

Camp Wildcat is 6 weeks long and meets Mondays through Thursdays from 8:00 am - 12:00 pm.

Session dates:

• 6/8 - 6/11

• 6/15 - 6/18

• 6/22 - 6/25

• 6/29 - 7/2

• 7/7 - 7/9

• 7/13 - 7/16

Transportation to and from camp, breakfast and lunch are provided each day.

If you would like your child to attend Camp Wildcat please click the link below and fill out the short enrollment form. We will take the first 40 participants who sign up on a first come first served basis.

If you have any additional questions please contact Jim Perreault.

We now have a new student item drop off table located in the office. It you have an item that you would like to drop off for your child, please fill out a slip including the child's full name, attach it to the item and leave it on the table for your student to pick up.

As a reminder, all beverages must be in a bottle with a closable lid and only water is allowed in hallways, lockers and classrooms. Medications must still be checked in with the office.

We thank you for limiting the use of this system to help encourage student responsibility, minimize classroom disruptions, and increase school safety.

A friendly reminder from the NBC office staff

If you plan on picking your student up early for some reason and know ahead of time, please send your student with a note that morning and we will get them a pass to leave class and meet you at the entrance of the school for their pick up time. This decreases wait time and class interruptions.

PLEASE if your student is not going to be in school or is sick, call the office and let us know why they will not be in school. This way we can mark them with an excused absence instead of an unexcused absence. According to the NBC Middle School Handbook, parents must provide an explanation for their child's absence by no later than 10:00 am on the day of the absence or by the following day.

If we DO NOT answer the phone as we are busy with students or on another line, PLEASE leave a message for us, we will get it taken care of and/or call you back if need be as soon as we are available.

Thank you parents,

-Mrs. Halverson & Mrs. Kraus

Take a look at some pictures of what our students are up to this month!

8th graders in Mr. Long’s science class took part in their own version of the Kentucky Derby last Friday! As part of their genetics unit, students have been learning about inherited traits by selectively “breeding” racehorses with the goal of producing the fastest competitor.

Through this hands-on activity, students explored how traits are passed from one generation to the next and how selective breeding can influence outcomes. The project brought science to life in a fun and engaging way, allowing students to apply their knowledge in a real-world context.

It was an exciting day of learning, competition, and creativity in the classroom!

We are excited to celebrate our students who achieved perfect attendance for the month of
April! These students showed outstanding commitment by being present every day. Attendance plays a big role in student success, and we’re so proud of their dedication and responsibility. Students with Perfect Attendance for the Month of April were recognized this week with an award and a reward of extra recess time.

Thank you to our families for helping make good attendance a priority! Together, we’re building strong habits that lead to success.
