Principal's Message
A reminder to parents that each quarter teachers will assign Citizenship grades based on the NMS Noble Knight Code: Respectful, Responsible, and Safe. Students receive a grade each quarter using the following scale:
1 – Below Grade-Level Expectation
2 – Meets Grade-Level Expectation
3 – Exceeds Grade-Level Expectation
These grades reflect how consistently students demonstrate the behaviors and expectations that help create a positive, safe, and respectful learning environment at NMS.
