The Friday Memo heading

What's New This Week!

 🥳  Intramural Wiffle ball/Kickball Information was distributed this week!  Students should see Mr. Deacon in the gym if they need a permissions slip or stop by the office before school, between classes, or at lunch.  What you need to know:

  • Intramurals will start on Thursday, May 4th and will run through Thursday, June 8th 

  • They will be on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.  All those signed up are welcome to come all three days  

  • The deadline to return your slip is Tuesday, May 2nd, so get your permission slips back ASAP

  • Those taking the late bus will be given a pass from the teacher, and the bus departs from the back of the Middle School at 3:00. Your student should know what stop to tell the teacher they will be getting off at.  Please refer to the district bus routes to check this information ahead of time

  • Any other questions? Email Mrs. Caouette (lcaouette@nrsd.org; HS PE teacher) or Mr. Deacon (tdeacon@nrsd.org; MS PE teacher)


⚛️  Please note that next week only, Science / STEM Club  will be held on TUESDAY, May 2,  instead of MONDAY!


All NMS Art students took part in our annual Music Concert & Art Show Logo Contest as part of an advertising assignment. The administration and music department judges had a difficult time choosing among the awesome designs that were submitted. Our First Place Winner : 6th grader Jack Melvin. Honorable Mentions went to Ellison Ambrogi 6th grade, Brianna Beauregard 6th grade and 5th grader Maddison Bassett. Congratulations to these talented designers! 




In Case You Missed It, Here's The Recap!

💦Beginning on April 24, any water bottle that students carry must seal tightly with a cap or lid to prevent spills, damage from water, or unsafe walking conditions due to leaks.  This is a safety issue.  Students should also prepare by filling their water bottle before school, during transitions, or during lunch.  There are ample bubblers and a water filling station accessible.


 💻 MCAS testing will continue off and on through mid-May.  Please be especially mindful of unnecessary absences  during this six-week time, as the windows assigned by the state are limited in what make up time we have.  Arriving on time on MCAS days is imperative, as we cannot disturb testing sessions by admitting late students.  All test dates have been finalized and can be found on the calendar below.  Any changes will be  updated.   



🚫 Please remember that students are not permitted to use their cell phone at school.  If you need to contact your student in an emergency, please contact the main office and we will relay the message.  Students who are using their devices will receive a tech violation write up, and depending on how many they have accrued, may be subject to disciplinary action.
