A Note from Principal, Joel VanderYacht

Welcome to Nooksack Valley Middle School.  We are school which prides itself on high academic goals and high levels of achievement.  Our teachers and staff welcome students into an environment in which students feel safe to be themselves.  We teach our students the academic skills they need to be successful in high school and beyond, and we strive to create a classroom environment in which students develop the ability to think deeply, analyze problems, look for solutions, and work in a collaborative environment with other students.  In addition to creating a school and classroom environment where students work together to solve complex problems, we also have our students spend time providing service to our community through their 8th grade Breakout project.  We, the teachers and staff at Nooksack Valley Middle School, strive to make it a wonderful school for students to grow and learn in their middle school years.
