NDMS Families,

Welcome back from Spring Break, and Happy Easter! We hope your family had a wonderful, restful break filled with time to recharge and enjoy one another. We are excited to have our Griffins back on campus and ready to take on this important final stretch of the school year.

As we enter the last part of the year, this is truly a time of growth and celebration for our students. They will continue to develop not only academically, but also through their daily actions that reflect our core values of learning, leadership, and service. We look forward to celebrating and rewarding students who consistently demonstrate these values in meaningful ways.

Before Spring Break, we had the honor of recognizing our Portrait of a Graduate students for the 25–26 school year. These students represent the very best of NDMS, and we are incredibly proud of each of them. We are especially excited to share that AJ Rogers was added to this outstanding group, exemplifying what it means to be a resilient and responsible leader. These six students make NDMS proud and serve as strong role models for our entire Griffin community.

Additionally, our students are actively tracking their personal progress in academics, behavior, and attendance as part of our Spring “Griffins on a Mission” incentive. We are excited to take the students off-campus for a bowling trip as the highest reward. We are excited to celebrate their hard work and dedication in these areas. Ask your child about their goals and progress—we know they will be proud to share how they are growing and striving to finish the year strong!

Thank you for your support. Let’s make these final weeks meaningful, focused, and full of Griffin pride!

Let's make it a great week,
~Mrs. Rhoads

Shout out to March 16h's NDMS High Flyers! These students demonstrate hard work and follow school rules. They make good decisions, manage priorities, are kind to others, and exemplify what it means to be a true Griffin! Way to go, Griffins! March's Griffins have the quality of being empathic;  they show the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. Representing 6th grade are Janiyah and David. 7th grade representatives are Avery and Levi while 8th grade is being represented by Jassidy and Collin. Congratulations to each of you! You are proof we are #winningtogether!
