TEACHERS AND PRINCIPALS TALK ABOUT THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

Students aren't the only ones who look with anticipation on the first day of school. Teachers and principals alike are excited to get back into the classrooms.
Amy Quigley, a teacher at Englewood Elementary school said, "The first day of school is always so exciting!! I love getting back in the classroom, laying the foundation for the relationships I will build with my students, and facilitating rigorous and relevant instruction! The possibilities for this school year are endless thanks to NRMS providing our students with one to one technology! I look forward to having technology at our finger tips and opening my students' realizations of new and broader horizons in learning." Quigley's thoughts are echoed by many in NRMPS.
Shelia Wallace, Principal at Hubbard Elementary, spoke to overcoming challenges and the school system's iConnect digital learning intiative, "As Hubbard's staff embark on a new school year we are committed to the district's motto, 'No limits...possibilities 2.0'. In lieu of the budgetary reductions, our staff is dedicated to our school's vision and ensuring that ALL of our students will receive a rigorous and relevant education. The opening day for the staff began with team building activities aligned to the strategic plans for NRMS. I am most excited about the technology initiatives and the endless opportunities it will provide for our 21st Century learners. Hubbard Hornets are prepared to accept the unforeseen challenges that this year may bring as an undivided force. WE=POWER!!!"
For the teachers and principals of NRMPS no challenge is to great and this will be the best year yet!
