Happy Friday to everyone in the NMS Community!
🗓 Make Up MCAS ! We are in the home stretch for MCAS! Students absent for the math or Science (Science given to 5th grade only) MCAS will be taking make up exams throughout the next two weeks until all sessions are complete. Please avoid any unnecessary absences and whenever possible, avoid scheduling appointments during make up testing. Students received or will receive an email sharing the make up date they can expect to take their specific sessions (Monday, May 20 for all remaining math sessions). Also, please be sure students are supported at home by having them charge their Chromebook fully each night and remember their charger each morning as well. Getting a good night's sleep and eating healthy meals will also make this testing period go more smoothly.

❤️🩹 Nurse Notes |
From NMS Nursing:
Friendly reminders from the Health Office…
With cold and flu season in full swing, please remind your students to wash hands FREQUENTLY, bring a water bottle THAT SEALS to school, and to NOT touch their face and mouth.
For ALL medical absences (COVID, flu, strep, etc.) we require doctors notes to make absences excused
Please be mindful of the ill exclusion protocol, which can be found in the handbook. If you have any questions, please reach out to us!
Field trip season is here!!! If your student requires any emergency medications (such as an Epipen, inhaler, etc.), PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE drop them off to the health office at your earliest convenience (if you have not done so already).
We now have a Telehealth Cart in the health office, to rule out acute illnesses such as strep throat, ear infections, contagious illnesses, etc.. If the nursing staff deem your student appropriate for a telehealth visit, with your permission, we will get your student seen by our partnering Nurse Practitioner. ANY questions, please contact me.
