Real Talk with Rhoads..

Dear NDMS Families,

It’s hard to believe, but the first nine weeks of school have already flown by! Over these past weeks, we’ve truly enjoyed watching our students learn, grow, and take steps toward becoming the leaders they are meant to be. Their energy, curiosity, and effort continue to inspire us each day.

As we wrap up this first quarter, we want to wish all of our families a restful and enjoyable Fall Break.. Take this time to recharge, spend time together, and celebrate the progress made so far this school year. We look forward to welcoming everyone back, refreshed and ready to go, on Monday, October 13th.

The start of a new nine-week period is the perfect opportunity for a fresh start. We encourage our students to set new goals and embrace the challenge to Lead, Learn, and Serve in all they do. We know that the second quarter can be even stronger than the first.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We are proud to serve our NDMS community and can’t wait to see the great things our students will accomplish in the weeks ahead.
