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.


-Brandon Creason

Principal, NMS

Safety for our students and staff is something we take very seriously here at NMS. Please talk to your children about the seriousness of making threatening comments regarding students, staff, or the school. No comments will be handled as a joke here at Nippersink Middle School and law enforcement will be contacted if comments are made or shared on social media.
