Please note that beginning in the 2025-26 school year, Northwest Community Schools will transition from a trimester schedule to a semester schedule. This change is being made to enhance academic continuity and improve financial efficiency while maintaining the integrity of all of our programs.

As always, please contact us at nw.media@nwschools.org, or submit an inquiry HERE with any questions or concerns you may have regarding this change for the 25/26 school year. More information and updates regarding the 25/26 school calendar will be published to the district's website.

Congratulations to Jacob Schinck on this recognition! Northwest is grateful for Jacob's technology support as the Technology Services Coordinator for the Jackson County ISD.

The #WhyYouMatter project aims to empower students by helping them recognize their value and importance. This project was led by NWMS teacher Ms. Annie Nichol, who was inspired to bring the project to NWMS after participating in it during her own high school years.

Photos of all participating students are proudly displayed in the hallway as a reminder of their significance.

Young Poets is the Jackson District's Library annual poetry contest, open to students in grades K-12. All poems submitted will be judged by their panel (comprised primarily of current and retired English teachers/professors). The winning poems will be published in a booklet, which is added to the library collection, and they have an awards ceremony in May to honor their winners.

Michigan Reconnect is your ticket to a tuition-free college degree or certificate! The Reconnect program provides eligible students with a chance to work toward an associate degree or Pell-eligible skills certificate at in-district community colleges, tuition-free.
