Quote of the week
From Mr. Wingfield
This week Mrs. Martin is beginning to pull students out by grade in order to talk to them about next year's schedules. 5-8th graders will be making decisions about courses for next year. For those that came to our CTE night, hopefully you have given some thought to your HS plan and what classes you will want to take for your HS CTE pathways. If any students or parents have questions about next years classes, please let us know.
Next week is the last week of the 3rd nine weeks and the last week before Spring Break. All students need to make sure they are turning in any assignments they have missed because of extracurriculars or other absences. All students involved in UIL can lose eligibility after next Friday.
Next Friday are cheerleader tryouts for MS. We also have a MS track meet in Leon next Friday.
Tomorrow we will have a Pre-UIL band concert here at NISD Auditorium. It will include any 7th/8th grade band members performing at the HS Spring UIL competition on March 6th.
Please look at every section below in order to get updates on events and/or any other pertinent information regarding Normangee MS and NISD.
In an effort to continually keep our students and campus safe, all parents will need to physically enter the building in order to check out your child for any reason. We will pull your child out of class when you arrive and have gone through the check-out procedures. Thanks for your cooperation.
If there is any other information you would like to receive through the MS Newsletter, please feel free to email me at jwingfield@normangeeisd.org
As always, if I can help in any way please let me know.

From the Bus Barn-New Bus Management System
The Transportation Department is in the process of changing over a new Bus Management System called Bus Right. This system will enhance student safety, streamline bus communication, and manage routes at the touch of a button. A GPS system will track the bus on it's route and provide real time information to parents, administrators and route drivers. Parents will have peace of mind receiving drop off and pick up information before and after school. The system should be online soon. In the meantime, below is the information needed to download the app. Once you set it up on your phone, the app will automatically start giving you information when the transportation department has it up and running. We will let you know when that happens.
