7th Grade Quabbin Field Trip!

Students in Grade 7 participated in a weeks-long study of the environment this fall, and the culminating activity was today's Quabbin Reservoir Field Trip! Students and staff (and parent / guardian chaperones, thank you!!!) traveled to the Pioneer Valley and spent a glorious day learning about the ecosystem that is Quabbin Reservoir. Thank you to the volunteer chaperones and the 7th Grade team, especially Mrs. Sarah Clark, for all the work in planning for and preparing the students for the cool eco-experience! Below, a bulletin board near Mrs. Clark's classroom which shows some information students got to see first hand today! Far below, the 7th Grade onsite at the Quabbin on a beautiful Friday!

🗓 Important Information for Any Student Staying After School & Late Bus Details!

Students who remain after school must be with a school-related activity (club or sports), or meeting with a teacher. Students are not permitted to loiter on school grounds after dismissal. The district offers a late bus to students on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday which departs from the rear parking lot at 2:55 p.m. sharp. Any student looking to utilize the late bus must be aware of two important details:

• The late bus does NOT follow routes of the morning or afternoon buses that bring students to and from school. Check HERE for the list of stops the late bus follows; and

• ALL students riding the late bus must obtain a pass from the teacher with whom they stayed after school. Students will not be permitted on the late bus without a valid pass from the teacher the student was with after school.

😃 Get involved! Join a Club or Activity!

NMS offers several ways for students to get involved beyond the school day. Students should listen for morning announcements, read The Friday Memo, and watch the lobby whiteboard and monitor for announcements regarding club start dates, directions for joining, and when the club runs. Clubs meet right after school until the late bus
