Annual Student Update:
We need your help. To ensure that we have accurate and current information about your student(s) and family, we ask that you log in to your Skyward Family Access account and complete the Annual Student Update Online form there. You will find the Annual Student Update tile under each of your student’s name. Please do this for each student. This is also where you would provide your permissions for sharing (or not sharing) your student’s demographic information to various entities/agencies (such as pictures, name and grade to local media, vendors, higher ed, military, etc.) If you need help with your Skyward login, please contact the school office staff.
Absences/Arriving Late:
If your student is absent from school or arriving late to school, there are 3 ways to communicate why they are absent. You may call the office, 360-966-7561 (outside office hours you may leave a message), a parent/guardian may write a note and send in with your student or send us a Parent Square message. Please keep in mind that if your student is participating in a school sport, we need a note from the Doctor/Dentist/Counselor to keep them eligible to participate in sports practice or games that day. Parent written notes do not keep the student eligible for sports.
Phone Use:
At NVMS our hope for students is that they are able to develop healthy peer-peer relationships both in-person and online along with healthy and productive relationships with technology. In order to do so, consistent campus and classroom expectations around cell phone an ear bud usage will be in place. If a student needs to use their phone for personal use, the expectation is that they check in with a teacher or other staff member to get permission to step into the office or separate space to do so. Students may also use the school phone for school business or emergencies.
Cell phones must remain in students back pack between the times of 7:15-2:15
Violation of Cell Phone Expectation will result in Cell phone getting turned into the office.
1st time– Student will need to pick up cell phone in the office at the end of the day, parent/guardian notified. 2nd time- Parent/Guardian will need to arrange to pick up cell phone, Lunch Detention
3rd time– Pioneer Success Level Drop, parent contact-student not permitted to bring cell phone on campus for remainder of semester.
What’s my bus??!!
