NWMS Weekly Parent Update

Good afternoon,

Welcome back and welcome to 2025! We look forward to seeing all students back in school on Monday, January 6th! Before returning, please take a moment to clean our your bookbag. Make sure you don't have any items in your bag that will cause the scan stations at the front doors to go off. Remove umbrellas, 3-ring binders with metal hooks, metal pencil containers, etc. from your bags. We want to also remind any students who might have gotten a new phone or earphones over break that we do not allow students to have their phones out during the school day. If you bring your cell phone to school it must remain off and in your bookbag the entire school day unless a teacher gives you permission to use it for a classroom lesson/activity.

The deadline for purchasing a Yearbook is getting close. Don't forget to order your copy by Jan. 28th! To order a Yearbook go to the website ybpay.com and enter the NWMS Code 14429725. The cost is $38.00. It is a hard cover book.

Let's make it a great week,

Mrs. Francisco
