Girls Gather for Computer Science is a summer camp for 7th and 8th grade girls. The camp runs from June 18th through July 13th and the camp is free. Applications are available in the main office at NAMS. The deadline for turning applications in is February 15, 2012.  Only 30 girls are accepted and those girls will be notified by March 16, 2012. Those selected will be expected to attend all classes in the four week camp. Public transportation, food, field trips, and one overnight trip are all included in this camp, held at Pacific University.

February 15, 2012 is "Exclusion Day."  This means that if your student is not up to date on his/her immunizations, they will not be allowed to attend school until we have a copy of that record in the counseling office.  If you have questions, please contact Reva Farmer at 503 359-2465, extension 5006.

Washington County will be mailing out "exclusion" notices to those students who are not compliant with their immunizations. This means that if we do not have a record, a copy of the immunization from the doctor, your student is not allowed to attend school on February 15, 2012 and all days after that, until that record is in our office. 

Boys basketball tryouts will be held on Jan. 19-20.  Practice will begin on Jan. 23.  Tryouts and practices will be held from 2:45pm - 5 p.m. Transportation is not provided. Registration forms are available in the main office at Neil Armstrong, or you can print them from the website under Athletics/Activities.

Neil Armstrong Middle School yearbooks are on sale now. Cost is $15, and checks should be made payable to Neil Armstrong Middle School. Orders will be taken during both lunches, and the yearbooks will be available for pickup at the end of the school year.
