I want to give a big shout out and big heaping truck full of praise to our student council students who participated in Mayor Rogero's program today at Victor Ashe park. They led the crowd of 800 in saying our Pledge of Allegiance and did a super job, and had the most EXCELLENT behavior while Mayor Rogero gave her speech. Very proud of them representing NMS today!

 Parent Portal
  • Parents may pick up parent portal passwords from the front office.
  • The Parent Portal allows parents to view their child's daily attendance, daily grades, report card grades, schedule, and discipline.
  • We have a computer that can be used by parents in our office.  As you come into the office, you will see the computer in the far right corner.  We want parents to use this computer (if you do not have access to one at home) to visit the parent portal and school website, or attend to business that you may need to on the internet.
 
 
FAQ about Parent Portal
Question: Some parents are wondering if they can attach two children (or more) to one account so they don't have to sign in multiple times to see different children.
Answer: Yes, they can. The parent must click the 'Add Your Student' link they will see near "My Family" on the My Family page. They will search for their student's first and last name, then select the correct student.  The student then must login and they will see a message on their screen where they must accept or reject the parents request.
