Team Lafayette (6th) (Twitter @NMSLafayette Team Leader Mrs. Hackman)   See our welcome letter on the NMS Website!  Congratulations to our Pride of the Lions winners for the month: Caleb Hutchinson, Naomi Pomales, and Samuel Williams.  Many of our items and supplies have started to deplete.  Please work to restock coloring supplies, scissors, and glue sticks as needed.  We have gotten much better with work completion, and charging of our computers, but we still have a few students struggling with both of those issues.  Please check in with your students regarding their progress.  There has been a change to the school schedule for 11/22 and 11/23, please be aware of the students’ half-days being turned to days at home.

Team Lehigh (6th) (Twitter @NMSTeamLehigh/ Facebook @NitschmannTeamLehigh Team Leader Mrs. Oliver) See our welcome letter on the NMS Website!   1st quarter report cards are on their way in the next day or two. Take this opportunity to review your child’s progress with them. Discuss things that went well and things that they may need to work on. Set goals for the coming marking period.  Come up with a plan to achieve these goals.  Remember the school is open from 7:30 to 4:00. If they need to make a regular schedule of coming in early or staying after (either in one of our rooms or the library) let’s make that happen.  Remember, the idea of school is to grow. Let’s all work together to ensure that is happening.
