From the Desk of the Principal
Dear Students and Parents,
Soon we will be approaching the mid point of second-quarter. As midterm grades are sent home with our students, I want to make you aware of concerns. Please check your child’s grades in power school, most of the time when grades are below a “C” it is because students have not turned in assignments or have incomplete work. If you need help accessing power school please contact the main office.
NAM will host PTCN on Thursday, November 29, 2018 from 4 PM to 7 PM. The doors to the PS-K lots and the main office doors (Clinton Springs Avenue) will be The only 2 entrance points to enter the building. Please contact your child’s teacher to schedule an appointment!
Sincerely,
Mr. Lewis

NAM’s First Fall Working Bee
The NAM PTSO will sponsor a yard clean-up at our school on Saturday November 3rd, 9am to 11am, followed by meaty and meatless chili offerings for our busy working bee volunteers. Bring your own tools: weeder, shovel, rake, gloves, brooms etc. We’ll provide the bags for cleanup. (We’ll have some extra gloves for kids and grown ups but please dress for the weather and to get dirty!) This is a great opportunity for students & parents to contribute in a positive way and help clean up our school grounds! No green thumb is needed, but children will need a responsible adult/family member to help them. Grandparents, neighbors and friends of NAM are welcome too. Please help us put the NAMS’ gardens to bed for the winter in preparation for a more beautiful spring!
Every bit counts! Please spread the word and RSVP at:
