Real Talk with Rhoads..

Welcome to December!

Happy December, NDMS families! As we step into the holiday season, our campus is buzzing with excitement and momentum. This time of year brings so many opportunities to learn, celebrate, and grow together, and we are grateful to partner with you in making it a strong finish to the semester.

As we move through these next few weeks, attendance is more important than ever. Each day will be full of meaningful instruction, review, and preparation for upcoming assessments. Please help us ensure students are present, on time, and ready to give their best effort. Every day counts, and we appreciate your support in keeping our students on track.

Proficiency Exams begin this Wednesday, and our students have been working hard toward their goals. These assessments are an important measure of mastery, and we are confident our Griffins are ready to shine. Meeting these goals also leads to something extra special. Students who meet their proficiency targets will be invited to participate in our Frosty Fest celebration on December 18th! We can’t wait to reward their hard work from the fall. 

Thank you, families, for all you do to support our school, our staff, and most importantly, your children. Let’s make this December a month of strong attendance, focused effort, and holiday joy at NDMS!
