NWMS Weekly Parent Update

Happy Friday!

The 1st week of school has been fantastic!

On Friday all students received their Chromebook/Student Laptop Device. They should be able to log-in and begin using their device. Please get into the habit of finding a secure place to charge the device each night so that it comes to school fully charged. The charger should remain at home.

Please remember that Monday the school is closed for the Labor Day holiday. We look forward to seeing students on Tuesday, Sept. 3rd.

For those attending the home football game tonight at Northwest High School please remember that if a student will not be accompanied by a parent during the game they will need to bring the Permission Form with them to the game and give it to the staff member at the entrance gate. See the Northwest High Website or this site for information about purchasing tickets to the home game/events. A separate message was sent earlier this week with more information about this permission form.

Enjoy the long weekend,

Mrs. Francisco
