Soon Enough … We Will Be Back in Business
Long time, no hear . . . I know.
It has been a busy summer wrapping up the 2015-2016 school year, taking some time off, going to conferences, coaching some baseball, and trying to piece together all the things we need to get done so we are ready for your (and our) children to start of our new school year, beginning on Tuesday, September 6.
Just a short reminder: Please pass on to new 6th Grade Parents how they should register for an email update whenever this blog is updated. Just have them enter their email address to the right, where it says: "Follow by Email." Then Click Submit.

I hope everyone has had an enjoyable, restful, and relaxing summer. There is still time left to enjoy it; though, if you watch TV or made your way to any stores, all the "back to school" ads and goods on sale are in full swing.
But I do need to tell you about some of the news we have to start the school year off right:
Our plan is on Tuesday, August 23, we will be posting Homeroom Assignments on the windows of the school for students in all grades and parents to see which team their child is on. I will send out a Blackboard Connect message to confirm this around the 23rd.
Grade 6 Open House/Orientation will be held at the Nichols Middle School on Tuesday, August 30, 2016, at 6:30 PM. This will be 6th Grade parents' opportunity with your child to see the school and meet his/her teachers. We look forward to seeing you there. At this event, we will be introducing our new assistant principals, our sixth grade teachers, other important personnel, and myself. We will start the evening at 6:30 PM in the Auditorium, and then you will be led to your child’s teacher team for introductions there on the sixth grade floor, to finish in the cafeteria for an ice cream social, sponsored by our NMS PTA. (Our Open House for Grades 7 & 8 will be on Tuesday, September 20, 2016, at 6:30 PM.)
On Tuesday, September 6, 2016, we have our first day of school for all students.
Another reminder, we have our very own Nichols Middle School Twitter account, which I will use to post reminders, announcements, and other short news items, which I can do in 140 characters or less. If you would like to follow the account, it is @JTNicholsMS, which I have a feed provided to the right as well. But if you use Twitter, please click the Follow button to follow us at @JTNicholsMS.
Also to the right. -----------> -------------> ----------->
There will be more to come, but please, again, remind all parents to follow this blog and get the email updates, and also start to follow NMS on Twitter.
Thanks; talk soon; enjoy the rest of the summer.
