NMS Nurse Notes
🌟Attention 6th Grade Parents 🌟
All students entering 7th grade must show proof of having the Tdap and Meningococcal vaccines or a Certificate of Immunization Exemption on file before the first day of school . Currently, the state of Iowa does not offer any grace/extension period for the implementation of this requirement.
Now is a great time to schedule an appointment for your 6th grader. Your student will not be allowed to attend school if we do not receive this documentation. If your student has already received these vaccines, please ask your doctor’s office to fax the immunization record to the school at 712-277-5941.
NMS Librarian Letters
Friendly library reminder that student laptops need to be restarted at school daily. This will allow the laptop to get the district updates, which will allow it to run much better. If a student is having a laptop issue in the classroom (blank screen, no curser, admin password, etc.) please have them restart the laptop. The majority of the laptop issues coming down today just need a restart.
Tech Smart Tips:
1.) Review Technology (Student Handbook)
2.) Charge Your Laptop Nightly
3.) Bring your laptop and charger to school each day.
4.) Restart your device every morning.

No Outside Food/Fast Food at the School
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Many students are having people deliver outside food/fast food to them at school.
This is not an option.
If food is delivered to students; they will get a pass to come down after school to pick up to take home with them.
