WVGSA Testing Update Due to a county-wide unexpected internet outage, WVGSA testing did not take place today. Testing will resume as soon as the issue is resolved. Thank you to our families for getting students here on time this week—we’ve already completed ELA and Writing! Parents can view scores in the WVGSA Parent Portal using the code that will be sent to your child’s school email. Don’t panic if scores aren’t showing just yet—they may take a few days to appear. We appreciate your patience and support!

Our kindergarten students had a fantastic day at Discovery World Museum in Parkersburg! They played, explored, and experimented across three floors of hands-on, STEM-focused exhibits. What a fun and educational adventure!

Please join us in congratulating Mrs. Anita Howell, who has been named Wetzel County’s Teacher of the Year, and Mr. Todd Melott, honored as Wetzel County’s Service Personnel of the Year! These two outstanding individuals embody the very heart of NMS. They give their best every single day — not for recognition, but simply because they love our students and our school. Their selflessness, dedication, and unwavering support lift our entire community. Congratulations, Mrs. Howell and Mr. Melott! This recognition is so well-deserved, and we are beyond grateful to have you both as part of the NMS family. #eaglementality #nmsproud

Mrs. Walton gave our PK students an unforgettable experience this week—a chance to see a baby chick that just recently hatched! Their faces lit up with curiosity as they got an up-close look at the fluffy little visitor. The students were so excited, they even came up with names like Bob, Chrysallus, and Sparkles! Moments like these make learning come to life! #eaglementality🦅💙
