 Check out the incredibly FULL lost and found!  We find it hard to believe no one is missing these items, many of which have been sitting here for WEEKS! There are many found items that have been gathered from the gym, cafeteria, classrooms, and other places around the school.  

👉 Any items that are in good repair will be donated if not collected by December 20, so don't delay in checking it!

Inclement weather, snow / ice delays and cancellations will be sent by the district when decisions about school have been made and you will receive automated calls and texts. Please be sure your most updated contact information is on file with the schools. Posts will also be made on the Narragansett Regional School District's Facebook page. Snow days will impact the last day of school, which will be noted in Important Dates & Reminders, below, as well as being listed in the Events section of the NMS website.

✏️ Thanks for weighing in on our most recent survey question, you have one more opportunity! Here's the data so far:

❄️🎶 Another Magical WINTER CONCERT!

Above, Mr. O'Connor's 5th Grade Beginner Band leads the audience through an entertaining retrospective of their journey (some were brand new musicians) from August through the work they've done to prepare for Thursday's show. Students narrated throughout the show, sharing insight to the many steps in the progression which included some comical memories of their first steps toward musicianship. Below top, Mr. O'Connor joins a packed house in applauding the 5th Graders on their performance; below middle, Mr. O'Connor and the 6th and 7th Grade Advanced Band pause while a portion of their journey is shared by a student in preparation for a piece to be played; below bottom, Mr. O'Connor stands back and joins in as the 6th and 7th Graders enjoy a round of applause from the appreciative crowd.

Thank you to all of our student musicians, their families, and Mr. O'Connor for their hard work and support in making all of the NMS bands happen!

Thank you to Mrs. Jennifer Chagnon, 7th Grade ELA teacher, for organizing and accompanying our student participants in Wreaths Across America, as well as all of the parents and guardians who attended and participated! This experience is impossible to duplicate any other way, or solely through a classroom lesson so we appreciate the ability to have our students be involved!

Thank you on behalf of our Student Council Food Drive!

Our awesome Student Council recently sponsored a food drive to support the local community. Thank you to everyone who donated goods toward this worthy cause! Community means everything and our StuCo members want to make a positive impact for our friends and neighbors!
