Nokomis Regional Middle School

Due to today's unexpected day off in RSU 19, there will be a calendar change for next Friday, May 22. Instead of a full day workshop day for teachers, it will now be a 1/2 day for students in the morning and full day for teachers. Thank you!

Tomorrow, our NRMS 5th grade students will be participating in the Maine State Science Assessments. Please encourage your child to get a good night’s rest, eat a healthy breakfast, take their time, and do their best on these tests. We appreciate your support in helping your child feel prepared and confident.

Next week, NRMS will be participating in the Maine State Assessments. Please encourage your child to get a good night’s rest, eat a healthy breakfast, take their time, and do their best on these tests.

These assessments are important in many ways—they help demonstrate individual student growth, inform our instructional practices, and guide us in identifying both individual and schoolwide student needs. We appreciate your support in helping your child feel prepared and confident.

Starting Monday students should no longer be allowed to receive Door Dash deliveries to the school between the hours of 7:45 to 2:15. Students have access to free school lunch as well as daily snacks and snacks here in our food closet. If students prefer, they can pack a lunch and snacks from home.

Tomorrow the 8th Grade will be hosting their annual Maine Sampler, from 8:30 to 11, a fundraiser to help pay for their end of the year activities. We ask that anyone coming to support our students please park in bus parking in front of the school. To avoid bus traffic, please don't arrive before 8:30 and leave by 11:30. Thank you!

We're listening! The NRMS Leadership Team is seeking parent and caregiver input to help shape our school improvement plans. Please share your voice through this ANONYMOUS survey: https://forms.gle/mWEtmLWiwAH1hQh49
Email addresses are not being collected. Thank you for your input!

The 8th grade will be hosting the Maine Sampler from 12/17 at 8:30 - 11:00. Parents and family are welcome to come.

For those of you unaware of what the Maine Sampler is, it's a fundraiser the 8th grade puts on every year to raise money for their class. Students make products that have a connection to Maine (occasionally they are a stretch) and sell them.

We also have a website the students have put together:

Good Morning! Presently we have 3 tables full of nice jackets, sweatshirts, lunch boxes, boots, water bottles, glasses and assorted other items in our Lost and Found here at NRMS. Please remind your child to swing by and retrieve any of their missing items as everything will be delivered for donation during Winter Break. Thank you!

RSU 19 has recently been notified by the Maine Department of Transportation and Newport PD we are no longer able to have any cars pulled over on the side of the Williams Road waiting to pick students up. Therefore, starting Monday, 11/3, we are asking that the line of cars in the pick-up lane beside the middle school pull forward all the way to the stop sign in that lane. You may still park in the turn-off lane by the entrance but no longer beyond that lane on the grass. If there is no room after the turn-off lane, there is a parking lot across the street where pick-ups can park until dismissal and then make their way over at 2:15. Thank you all for your flexibility and understanding as we try to find a solution for this new stipulation.

This is a reminder that tomorrow, October 24, there will be no school for students as it is a District Wide workshop day for teachers. Thank you and enjoy the weekend!

Good news! We're adding a bonus day for our Book Fair on Monday. This will be one last opportunity for students to shop and purchase any books they may have missed earlier in the week. If we can get $300 more in sales, we can earn some cash rewards for Nokomis Regional Middle School's library.

Thank you for your continued support of our school library and for helping to inspire a love of reading in our students!
