NMS Family Update

Dear Families,

Happy March! February has been a roller coaster of ups and downs. Freezing days have been mixed in with days that feel like Spring. While we are sure for many the count down to Spring Break has begun, we would like to keep all our students and families focused on Respect, Responsibility, and Readiness to learn.

The 3rd quarter is quickly coming to a close. We encourage you to speak with your students consistently about their grades and assignments. If you need help accessing PowerSchool please reach out to us. Below are 2 important notes.

Please scroll down to review the March calendar, enjoy student highlights, and read an important safety reminder about traffic flow. Please read about out February focus of "Attendance Matters" as well.

As always, please reach out if you have any questions or need clarification on anything. Our wonderful office staff are always here to help.

Sincerely,

Michael Basinski and Jean Capacetti

NWMS Principals

The teachers and building staff have been working hard this year to implement positive behavior interventions and support for all students. It is important that we receive feedback from families on strengths and needs to continue to make improvements.

Below is a survey that is used nationally to get feedback on our PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) program. For each section there will be a question asking if you think the item is “In Place, Partially in Place, or Not in Place” in our school. The next section will repeat, but will ask how important this is to you. Do you think it is a “High Priority, Medium Priority, or a Low Priority.”

We appreciate your time and support and look forward to using your feedback to continue to improve for our students.

Our special guest readers with our 7th grade for Black History Month was so successful! It was a great opportunity to highlight influential Black Americans, and an opportunity for our students to shine and be recognized school wide. We are going to continue the tradition in March with guest readers for influential women that have positively impacted our world and community. Students from all grade levels will be able to participate and share what they have learned with the school community.
