Quote of the week
"I can't keep calm because my vacation is coming soon." — Every Middle School Student Ever
From Mr. Wingfield
I hope everyone has a restful Spring Break! If you are planning on traveling, I will pray for a safe return and look forward to seeing all of our kiddos back here on March 18th. We have one more nine weeks and are gonna work hard for a strong finish to the school year!
Tomorrow we will have cheerleader tryouts for MS. We also have a MS track meet in Leon, weather permitting.
Tonight at 7:00 we will have a Pre-UIL band concert here at NISD Auditorium. It will include all 7th grade band members.
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.

Capturing Kids Hearts March Lessons
In March we will focus on Courage. Sometimes it is difficult for students and adults to step out of their comfort zone. Our Monday character talks are now being led by some of our students in 6-8 grade. They are showing courage while speaking and also leading with courage. They are doing a great job!
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.
