NRMS Bear Families,
The start of our school year is in sight! Our office and counseling teams have been working tirelessly to get schedules finalized for both our current and new students. Staff members have been in this week preparing their spaces. Fall sports are off and running. WEB leaders are in the midst of training and will be ready to greet our incoming 5th graders next week. Overall, it’s a very exciting time.
We are back to our original school start time of 8:00 AM. All of our student drop-off and pick-up procedures will remain the same; students are to be dropped off and picked up in the rear of our building. Enter Driveway 1 off of Ridge Rd, and exit onto Rt 82. Students will not be permitted into the building until 7:30 AM, unless they are part of a scheduled activity.
There are lots of other pieces of information that are important at the start of the school year, and it can feel overwhelming. The good news is that our district created a Back to School Online Family Reference Guide. It includes information on:
School Day times and bell schedules
Free & Reduced Meal Applications
Student Handbooks
The Academic Calendar
As we prepare for the 2024-2025 school year, please keep the following pieces of information in mind:
