Hello Warhawks!
We made it! The last full week of school is here (don't forget 6th and 7th grade have a half day on Monday, 5/24). Although this year has had so many ups and downs with the changes in schedules and plans, we have so much to celebrate! Words cannot describe how proud I am of our school community. The NMS students, staff, and families have worked together to make the best of whatever has been thrown at us, and for that I am very grateful. Thank you for all of your support this year and we look forward to continued growth and positive vibes for next school year.
Here are a few details for the end of the school year and summer:
The last day of school for 8th graders is FRIDAY (5/21) and Monday (5/24) is the last day for our 6th and 7th graders.
Report cards will be mailed home the week of May 24.
The Northwood office will be closed from June 23 - July 16.
Back-to-school information will be sent out in late July when our office opens for the 2021-2022 school year.
Wishing all of the Warhawks an enjoyable, healthy, and GROOVY summer!
