As always, if you have any questions, please contact your child's teacher, school counselor, grade level principal, or me.  Regardless of environment, I know that our entire NRMS family will work hard to inspire great this year!

On Tuesday, September 22, students who are staying in the remote setting will begin this transition process.  Please know that you will be receiving an email from Ms. Calabrese today regarding the Remote Learning Team. You will also receive communication from the Remote Learning Team teachers.

Schedule  

• Please access the schedule in Progress Book to make sure your son or daughter knows where to report next week on his or her first day of in person learning.  Students will not have the 20 minute homeroom period that was scheduled during remote learning.  All students will report to their first period class.

• Wearing a mask is required at all times unless there is a teacher/staff directed student mask break.  Students are allowed to lower their masks to drink from their own water bottles.  Please note that the water fountains are disable, but the water bottle fillers are accessible.  Additionally, students are allowed to lower their masks to eat during their teacher directed snack time, breakfast, and/or lunch.  Gaiters can be worn providing they cover the student's nose and chin.  Please keep an extra mask in your book bag.

• Students who arriving to school by car will use Entrance 1 on Ridge Road closest to Royalton Road.  Those students will exit their cars near the Athletic Entrance.  Please exit the campus by using the exit on Royalton Road next to the Board Office.  
• Students will be dismissed from the bus starting at 7:45 AM.  3 to 5 buses will be dismissed at a time.  Students should maintain maximum social distancing while walking to their first period class.  Students are permitted to get breakfast prior to going to their first period class.  Breakfast must be eaten in the cafeteria or taken directly to the student's first period class.  If students are not eating in the cafe, they can only eat once they are seated in their assigned seat in their first period class.  Students can stop in the Media Center for Chromebook issues.  

• Both the cafeteria and the media center will be utilized for lunch.  Students will sit in designated seats and designated tables (signs will be on tables).  Students will have two weeks, which equates to three days of school and then that will be their assigned seat.  We will note where students sit during the first two weeks as well.  One team in each grade will eat in the Media Center:
• Grade 5 - Maverick
• Grade 6 - All Stars
• Grade 7 - Fire
• Grade 8 - Gold

• All student lockers will be unavailable until further notice.  

• The students' teachers will communicate what supplies are needed as we start the transition to in person learning.

• There is no recess until further notice.

• Students will be dismissed by class and walked to the exits by their last period teacher.

Please know that there will be a service dog in our school assisting one of our students.  This service dog is a trained support for the student and is able to assist him or her in many of the daily routines while learning at school.  This certified service dog is highly trained and recognized by an accredited training facility.  The student's right to have a certified service dog is protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act; therefore, the handler/student will have the dog in all educational environments throughout the school day.  Staff and students will be informed as to proper procedures around the animal because the animal is not a pet, but a certified working service dog while at school.  We look forward to this new addition to our school community.
