NMS Schedule Updates for 2020-2021

How exciting is this? Next year ALL students at NMS will have PE ALL year starting 2020-2021! A huge thank you to all the staff for coming together to create a schedule that will allow for this to happen. This is a building initiative to integrate more physical fitness into our students’ days and place an ever greater emphasis on health in our community.

The Encore/Specialist rotation will be as follows:
6th Grade: Students will rotate on a three day (AM) 40 minutes and (PM) 40 minutes schedule alternating PE/PE, Art/Intervention, and Health/Guidance all year. 7th and 8th Grade: Students will have PE/Health every other day all year, and Art and Spanish on the
semester. So exciting!

Experience Day 2020 ROCKED

Thank you to all of our staff and to our Board for helping make our annual Experience Day one to remember! We heard NUMEROUS compliments from the businesses that the students visited about how incredible our Tigers are. Way to represent!
