High School Happenings

Students will follow an alternate schedule so our 10th and 11th graders can take the PSAT's. Ninth graders will engage in alternate activities and seniors will not be in school that day.

There is no 9th and 10th grade NMTCC on 10/29.

Full time NMTCC students will follow their usual schedule.

Please know that October 31 is a regular day of school. If students want to dress up, they may. However, any costumes worn to school must be appropriate for school. Nothing can cover your child's face and there should not be replicas of weapons. There should be nothing gory about the costume and it should be comfortable enough to wear all day long. Parents will be called if a child's costume is not appropriate for school.
