NMS School Improvement Plan Update Presentation to School Committee


Our Students Shine 

On Thursday, December 3, eighth grade students and Mr. Geoghegan presented an update on the 2015-2016 Nichols Middle School School Improvement Plan.

The students, Hannah Stearns, Greta Jacobson, and Chris Cogan are some of the same students who were videotaped back two years ago, when they were in sixth grade, when we presented an update to our 2013-2014 School Improvement Plan for our new 2014-2015 Plan.

On this night, all three students did an excellent job again presenting how we are making scholars out of our students.  Their ability to prepare their thoughts, speak about education, and voice how NMS has prepared them was impressive.

Here is a link to the video from 2014.

Here is the link to the School Committee Meeting from December 3 here with our Student Presentation for you to check out (Our presentation starts at about the 46:20 mark).




This is the Google Slides Presentation.


As I wrote above, our students shined on this night. They are displaying all the attributes we would want in a student in the 21st Century.  They can communicate, collaborate, critically think, and be creative.  This is our major goal as a school, and I feel that this presentation shows that they are gaining the ability to do so.
