Students in grades 5 through 7 will be learning about the scheduling process from our school counselors. After a scheduling overview is presented by our school counselors, they will meet with each student individually throughout the coming months to talk about academics, career exploration, and social/emotional development. Please be on the lookout for more information regarding the scheduling process.
School Fees
Each year, the District assigns a school fee to students based on their grade level/course selections. This is typically provided to you in September. With the change to Powerschool, the fee assessment was delayed until now. This was done to give staff and parents time to become familiar with Power School. These fees have now been assigned to your child. You can view these fees through the app or through your Powerschool account. You can submit payment for the fees through a check or through your PayForIt.net (Payschools) account.
Washington D.C. Extended Field Trip
Prior to winter break, students registered for the 8th grade field trip to Washington D.C. should have picked up a roommate form for their group from Mr. Atkins and Mrs. Pastore in the main office during lunch. All forms were to be turned into the main office by the end of lunch on Dec. 15. Rooms will have a maximum of 4 people. If your student missed this deadline, please contact Mr. Atkins. Note, the second payment is due Friday, Jan. 20.
Winter Tailgate
The Winter Tailgate on Thursday, Jan. 19 is a great way for students to get involved at NRMS. Tickets will go on sale on Jan. 17; please note that we will only sell 300 tickets for this event. The ticket provides students with pizza, water, and chips during the tailgate along with entrance into the 8th grade girls and boys basketball games. We ask that students not leave and come back between the tailgate and the start of the games. Once the first game starts, students can be picked up at any time from the Gold Gym. At the conclusion of the second game around 6:30 p.m., all remaining students should be picked up at the main entrance. We encourage all who attend the tailgate to stay for both basketball games.
Harriet Turk
On Wednesday, Jan. 25, NRMS is excited to welcome Harriet Turk. She’s often described as “that cheerleader woman,” because Harriet believes encouragement and enthusiasm are fuel for living. Her keynote presentations, leadership retreats and workshops combine entertainment with education and encourages everyone to get up and make things happen in their life.
Harriet’s ultimate goal is for everyone who hears her presentations to walk away with a confident sense of self, to embrace their unique abilities, and to move towards developing the skills that will help them become unstoppable.
