Good evening, N-CMS Red Devil Family!
Here are your announcements for the week of May 18-22, 2026.
This is the last week of school for the 2025–2026 school year. I want to thank each of you for blessing us with your child and for your continued support of N-CMS. We experienced a great deal of success both inside and outside the classroom this year, and none of it would be possible without your encouragement and partnership. Thank you, Red Devil Family!
Please note that Thursday, May 21, is an early release day. N-CMS will dismiss at 11:00 a.m., and all car riders must be picked up by 11:30 a.m. If you have any questions, please contact the school office.
This week, we will continue End-of-Grade (EOG) testing. Retesting will take place Monday through Wednesday. Students need to get a good night’s rest, eat breakfast, and come to school prepared to do their best. EOG scores are important to our school and teachers and are also used to help place students in appropriate classes for next school year. We strongly encourage any student who did not pass the EOG to participate in retesting. Please contact the school or your child’s teachers if you have any questions.
Students will not be permitted to call home to be picked up after completing their retest. School will dismiss at the normal time of 2:50 p.m.
Attendance remains important through the final days of the school year. It is critical that students continue attending school regularly. Absences on both testing and non-testing days will be recorded on a student’s attendance record and may affect recognition for perfect attendance and fall athletic eligibility at the middle school level. To remain eligible for fall sports at N-CMS next school year, student-athletes must not exceed 13 excused or unexcused absences during this semester.
Thank you again for your continued support of N-CMS, and have a great week!
Bus 463 will not run this morning due to not having a driver available. We apologize for the late notice, as we were just made aware of the situation.
