Our Mission

Together we read, calculate, investigate, explore, evaluate, compose, create, sing, exercise, communicate ideas and express opinions. 

We bring our minds and our personalities with expectations to be the best we can be. 

We fill an empty building, making it alive and productive. 

As we proceed through the grades, we grow and develop skills for life. 

Together we create an educational environment that fosters learning.


Statement of NonDiscrimination


1.  Attend school daily and be on time for every class.
2.  Complete all assignments and assessments to the best of your ability.
3.  Respect yourself and others.

Three Keys to Success at NDMS   "Home of the Owls"
to possible changes to testing dates, bus as of now we are still scheduled to conduct MSA Reading testing on March 11-12, 2010 and MSA Math testing on March 18-19, 2010.

In anticipation of testing, we are working hard to prepare our students for the upcoming assessments. We would ask that you encourage your child to do his or her best and make a special effort to have perfect attendance, especially during the testing window.
We are planning special activities and incentives for students during testing. If you would like to donate items, please contact me for a list of needed items and of course, we will accept any and all financial contributions.
Below you will find a list of upcoming activities for your convenience. Please continue to contact teachers if you have any concerns or would like to check on the progress of your child academically or behaviorally.
As always, thank you for all that you do to support NDMS. We look forward to your continued support.  On a more personal note, I would like to thank those who sent cards and showed other acts of kindness and concern during my recent medical setback. All were greatly appreciated.
