NSMS – 2014 First Day Instructions
We are hoping that we have a resolution to the teacher bargaining and that we can start school on Tuesday September 2, 2014. Please see Dr. Elder's message that is posted on our school and district sites for more details.
Regardless of the first day of school we will have the same routine for start up. If you are a grade six student, please arrive at the school by 8:50 a.m. and gather outside the school entrance by the Hawksnest (playscape). Your name will be posted with your division number beside it. Beginning at 9:00 a.m. grade six students will be called into the gym and asked to sit behind a cone with their division number on it. At that time you will meet your advisory teacher and head to class. At 9:20 Grade 7 and 8 students division will be posted. Grade 7 and 8's will be called to the gym at 9:30 AM to meet their advisory teacher.
Please leave your supplies at home on the first day of school. All you need is a pen, pencil and a snack. When you have been assigned a locker then you can bring the rest of your school supplies.
