End of Quarter 1/ Competency Recovery time

Quarter 1 ends this Thursday. For students who are passing their competencies in all of their classes, they will have the opportunity to participate in enrichment and fun activities from 12:40-2:40.For students who need additional academic support, they will have this time to work with their teachers to bring their grades up to passing.

If you haven't yet had a chance to check your child's grade, you can get directions for signing up for access Infinite Campus using this link.

I want to thank out PTCO for helping to run our end-of-quarter celebration. We are looking at turning this into a quarterly celebration and academic support time.

Welcome from our new music teacher!

Thanks to the NASD School Board, we have hired Ms. Logan Cormier as our second music teacher. Ms. Cormier wants to introduce herself to our community with her letter below.

Hello Newfound families!

My name is Ms. Logan Cormier and I am thrilled to join the NMMS community as the new Chorus teacher! I will be assisting Mrs. Staub with Band and General Music, teaching Chorus starting in Quarter 3, and will transition to teaching Select Choir shortly.

I graduated from Plymouth State University with a Bachelor's degree in Music Education (K-12) and a minor in Psychology, and have prior experience teaching high school band, chorus, and various music electives, as well as experience performing in musical ensembles.

It has already been a joy getting to know everyone, and I am looking forward to a wonderful year! Please feel free to email me at  lcormier1@sau4.org if you have any questions, concerns, or ways I can best support your student at school.

Sincerely, 

Logan Cormier
