State law requires that all public schools in Maryland survey students about school climate. The purpose of the survey is to gain valuable information about the quality and character of each school’s learning environment so that schools can promote a climate that supports student learning. Students will take the Maryland School Survey during regular school hours on Friday, February 23, 2024. The survey will ask students about topics such as student engagement, interactions with adults and with other students in the school, the school environment, bullying, and safety. The survey will not ask about a student’s personal experiences, and students will not be asked to provide any information that might violate their privacy. The survey is confidential and school personnel will not have access to the responses of specific students. The responses your child provides will be combined with the responses from other students in the school, and results will be reported for each school and district. We are eager to receive this very important information about your student’s school and about schools across the state. If you have any questions about this survey, please contact Assistant Principal Adam Wilson at ext 1604.

Thank you to all the amazing staff, vendors, students and families that attended our NDMS Family Fun Night. We had over 450 people attend to learn more about our School's rating and initiatives. If you were unable to make it, please be on the look out for your child's folder that contains valuable information on their academic levels. NDMS highly encourages every student to complete 30 minutes of Iready and Lexia, each night. Stay tuned for more exciting events.

On February 12th, approximately 130 8th graders from NDMS travelled to the wonderful Dorchester Career and Technology Center, in Cambridge . Students were able to interact with all CTE programs and begin thinking about career pathways. Student presenters at DCTC were professional and very excited to share their trade. Thank you DCTC for hosting this great event and NDMS looks forward to seeing our students building a future in CTE at DCTC!
