Tiger Nation,

I am honored and pleased to welcome you to the 2023-2024 school year! I am extremely proud to serve as the principal of this amazing learning community and continue supporting the Nichols Middle School students. This new school year promises a renewed dedication, focus, and energy to the teaching and learning mission. I want to welcome all returning students, families, and our new families from other cities, states, or countries. We are excited to share all that NMS has to offer with you and believe you will soon feel, as we do, that NMS is a special place for all children. The dedicated staff at NMS has worked tirelessly to finalize classes and schedules, fine-tune our instructional models, engage in professional learning opportunities, and update class routines and expectations to foster academic success. NMS teachers are eager to meet and begin this year's journey with their new students. Our primary goal is to ensure student proficiency in core academic subjects, so we will continue to refine Tier I instruction, analyze data, conduct observations, and review classwork to guide instruction and intervention. We will work together to create a solid foundation for our students to become self-directed learners, collaborative teammates, creative thinkers, and responsible citizens. I look forward to the start of the new school year and continuing our collaboration of providing your children with an effective and engaging educational experience.

Go Tigers!

Best regards,

Russell Evans
