First Day
I want to thank our students, teachers, and staff for their hard work and effort leading up to our first day of school tomorrow.  I appreciate the amount of students who participated in the Remote Soft Opening last week.  It was evident that our kids are excited for the start of the school year and to interact with their teachers and each other.  I hope everyone has a great first day!

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

Thanks,
Jeff
Important Notes:

Progress Book
Starting today, when you login into Progress Book, the schedule you will see is your son or daughter's schedule for when the district transitions from remote to in person learning.  We turned on this feature so you could view grades.  Please know that while we are in the remote setting, students will follow their HR schedule that was communicated last week.

Attendance
A critical component of remote learning is a consistent and high level of participation from the student. Unlike last spring, where every child was considered in attendance, that is not the case for the 2020-2021 school year. Under ODE guidance for Participation in Remote Learning, attendance is mandatory and must be taken by your child's class/school. In addition, under Ohio law, the District is required to contact you within 2 hours of the start of the school day if your child is not in attendance. This procedure will continue during remote learning. Attendance will be documented and the rules regarding absences and truancy remain in place and the District will follow the processes for these regulations.  Our first attendance check will be during the HR period starting at either 8:00 AM or 8:20 AM depending on your son or daughter's HR schedule.  If your student will not be attending classes, please contact the main office as you have always done in the past.
