Welcome back to Nichols Middle School!
It is a sincere pleasure to have students back at school. During the summer break, our teachers participated in curriculum projects, professional development, and instructional planning for our new school year. Our custodial staff worked diligently to clean and prepare classrooms and we welcomed two new Administrators, Lashonda Catchings, and Michael Ellis to our school. To begin the year, our teachers are engaging students in teambuilding activities that help to create strong and caring classroom communities. These communities are the foundation upon which learning is fostered and enriched. Each student is unique and is an important part of our learning community. Through activities, dialogue, articulation and assessments, we will learn more about your child as an individual student and young person. Knowing your child well helps us meet, extend, and enrich their individual academic needs.
School begins each day promptly at 7:55 A.M. Breakfast is served beginning at 7:15 A.M. Because supervision of students does not begin until 7:10 A.M., please do not drop off or allow students to arrive at school before that time. School dismisses daily at 3:00 P.M.
Your partnership is essential to your child’s academic success and we look forward to working closely with you throughout the school year. We invite you to stay in close communication with your child’s teacher.
Safety and security of all students is a top priority. We ask that all parents and visitors stop in the office to check in with our office staff as soon as you arrive at Nichols. In order to ensure student safety, it is critical that we know who is in our school building each school day. If someone other than yourself, a sibling or a person listed on your child’s Emergency Information Card will be picking your child up from school, you must notify us ahead of time so that we can help you plan.
Thank you for working together with us to provide your child with the best possible education and experience. Your input and ideas are important to us. Please feel free to contact us.
Remember working together works.
Respectfully,
Roosevelt Greenwood- Principal
Lashonda Catchings- Assistant Principal
Michael Ellis- Assistant Principal
