Starting TUESDAY, NMS will host Study Buddy sessions afterschool on Tuesdays (Reading), Wednesdays (Science & Social Studies), and Thursdays (Math) for students to come and get help from teachers at each grade level! If your child stays, please have a ride for them promptly at 4:30pm.

Some teachers may share an invite to encourage your child to attend, but all students are welcome if they need additional help or have missing assignments to make up!

Please join us either in person or virtually this week to discuss NMS as a Title I campus and give your input on the parent advisory committee!

You are welcome to come to NMS during the week of your Blue Jay's birthday and have lunch with them! Be sure to bring your ID and check in at the office first.

We have a few updates regarding birthday lunches:

• Your birthday boy/girl may choose ONE student from their grade level to sit with them on their special day
• Please only bring food for the birthday boy/girl, not other students as we have some dietary restrictions, so students should eat their own lunch
• If you bring store bought cupcakes or sweet treats, please keep it minimal as we don't want to interrupt instructional time in the classroom (these treats cannot be eaten in the cafeteria)
• Please limit the visitors to 4 adults (no small children, please).

4th Grade Lunch: 11:35-12:05

5th Grade Lunch: 12:25-12:55

6th Grade Lunch: 10:45-11:15

Thank you in advance for following these procedures for birthday visits!

To ensure the safety and enjoyment of all students and fans at our home sporting events, we are implementing the following new policies:

• No outside food or drinks will be allowed inside the stadium. This includes Stanley-style tumbler cups.

• Students in 6th grade and under must arrive with an adult and may not be dropped off. These students may walk to the concession stand or restrooms but will be asked to return to their seats and not roam freely in other areas.

• No re-entry will be allowed once you leave the stadium.

These measures are being put in place to support a safe environment for our students and fans and to help our staff better monitor activity inside the stadium.

We appreciate your cooperation as we work to provide the best possible game-day experience for everyone.

Please consider joining PTA and becoming a volunteer at NMS!

Parents, please complete their Medical Service Consent in Skyward ASAP! We would like to be the first campus with a 100% signed!

Any excuses for PE/Pre-athletics: please do not put these in Skyward because they can be missed. We prefer those to be hand delivered to either the nurses office or the front office.

Thank you!

All student IDs that were turned in last year have been returned to current students. New NMS students (all of 4th grade, and new 5th & 6th graders) will get their first ID free. If you need to purchase a new ID or an extra, please visit the REVTRAK store link below. If ordered after 10am, your student might not receive until the next school day.
