Hello NAMS Families,
It is hard to believe that there are only 6 school days remaining in the 2025–2026 school year. While the finish line is in sight, there is still plenty of learning, celebrating, and memory-making ahead.
We encourage all students to finish the year strong by attending school regularly, staying engaged in their learning, and continuing to demonstrate the positive behaviors that make NAMS such a special community.
We are especially excited to celebrate our 8th-grade students as they prepare for promotion and the transition to high school.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support throughout the school year. Let's make these final six days meaningful, memorable, and successful for all students.

Hello NAMS Families,
It is hard to believe that we have just 11 school days remaining in the 2025–2026 school year. As we approach the finish line, our school continues to be filled with learning, celebrations, field trips, performances, and end-of-year activities.
These final days are an important opportunity for students to finish strong academically, demonstrate responsibility, and continue contributing positively to our school community. We encourage families to help students maintain consistent attendance, stay engaged in their learning, and keep up with assignments and expectations through the last day of school.
We also look forward to celebrating many milestones in the coming days, especially with our 8th Graders as they prepare for promotion and the transition to high school.
Thank you for your continued partnership, support, and encouragement throughout the school year. Together, we have accomplished so much, and we look forward to making these final 12 days meaningful, memorable, and successful for all students.

Hello NAMS Families,
It’s hard to believe that we have only a little over three weeks remaining in the 2025-2026 school year. As we head into the final stretch, our school remains filled with energy, excitement, and a great deal of learning and growth.
Over the coming weeks, students will continue engaging in meaningful classroom experiences, end-of-year activities, performances, field trips, and celebrations that help bring closure to a successful year together. While there is certainly excitement about summer ahead, we also want to emphasize the importance of staying focused, maintaining strong attendance, and continuing to demonstrate the positive behaviors and effort that help make NAMS such a special place.
This time of year always serves as an important reminder of how much our students have grown academically, socially, and emotionally since September. We are incredibly proud of their hard work and grateful for the continued partnership and support of our families throughout the school year.
