Good afternoon, NCMS Red Devil family!
We are getting closer to the start of the 2024-2025 school year. Here are a couple of reminders to prepare for the year.
If you have not completed the returning or new student registration documents, please take care of that as soon as possible. This was sent to the parent email address we have on file for your student. Students must complete this to receive a schedule at Open House. Please also know that students will not receive their Chromebook devices or be allowed to participate in sports until this is completed. Please get in touch with the main office should you have any questions.
Our back-to-school Open House is scheduled for August 21. 6th-grade will start at 3 p.m. 7th grade at 4 p.m. and 8th grade at 5 p.m. We look forward to welcoming everyone back.
On August 22, from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., we invite our 6th-grade students to our Kickstart event. This is an optional event for students. During this time, students will familiarize themselves with the school, meet their classmates, and gain information to help them be more confident to start school on August 26.
There will be an optional parent meeting on August 22 from 8 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. for our 6th-grade parents and parents of newly enrolled students who want to learn about some of the key items of Newton-Conover Middle School.

The PowerSchool RETURNING student notification has been sent to your RETURNING student's primary contact email. A hyperlink to complete registration is embedded in the email along with the security snapcode (for InfoSnap). Please look for that email in your inbox. Do not complete the NEW student registration. This is reserved for students who are new to the district.
However, I have received a few messages that families are having difficulty submitting their RETURNING student's information due to a glitch in the Technology Acceptable Use Policy. So, the district has put in a ticket with PowerSchool Infosnap to try to get that fixed this morning. Therefore, I would recommend waiting at least 24 hours before completing your child's InfoSnap (and start on Tuesday, July 23rd). You have until August 9th to complete the registration.
Thank you for your patience!
Student Registration forms for the 2024-2025 school are scheduled to go out on July 19 to all Newton-Conover City School students who attended a school in the district last school year. All parents/guardians must complete the PowerSchool Registration for their child in order for them to start school on August 26. This year's registration form will be sent via email by Newton-Conover City Schools and PowerSchool Registration.
This must be completed prior to August 12 to ensure your child has a schedule for Open House and before we can place them on a school bus route for the year. Registration must also be completed before students receive a Chromebook device and before they can participate in athletics this year.
If you have changed email addresses OR no longer use the email account you used last year to receive the registration email or correspondence from the school, please reach out to let us know of any changes. You may call the school between the school between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. (828) 464-4221.
Please remember that you must provide updated proof of residency if you have moved since the conclusion of the 2023-2024 school year. If you have any questions, please contact Paige Smith, Data Manager at N-CMS. 828-464-4221. Have a great evening.
