NAMS Gardening Class is working to raise money to purchase tools to use in their garden. These students need basic gardening tools (rakes, pruners, hoes and shovels) to clear, prepare and care for the school garden.  We are using   DonorChoose.org as an online charity that makes it easy to help classrooms in need.  Please visit the donor site and help us purchase our equipment for the TITAN GARDEN.  We will post pictures of our progress.

Mr. Sol Joye, one of NAMS social study teachers, received the Oregon Department of Education's "History Teacher of the Year."  On Thursday, October 25th, all the students at NAMS gathered in our gym to honor Mr. Joye.

Dr. Samuel Henry, Professor and Member of the State Board of Education awarded Mr. Joye with a $1000.00 check and his certificate, honoring him as the "History Teacher of the Year." 

We are SO PROUD OF YOU MR. JOYE!

Dear parents and students:

We appreciate your patience as we tackle the issues within our schedule.  Please know that we are working around the clock to fix all the problems we found when we switched our student information system.  While I believe Synergy will be a fine system for our staff, students and parents to use, the change-over produced some significant difficulties in our students' schedules.

We are working to meet as many requests as possible and will continue to work to have all schedules in order by Tuesday afternoon.  Many parents and students are making requests to be in our Honors program classes; while this is excellent, we are overfilled in most sections and are not able to meet all requests in this area. We will work to resolve this issue in our second semester.

It has been a great start to the school year despite our schedule challenges. This has been, in large part, due to the attitudes our students have brought to school: positive and flexible.  Beyond that our staff, as usual, has been focused on building relationships with our students and have minimized the impact.

We are looking forward to a great school year and expect to be on track by Wednesday morning.

Thanks.
Brandon Hundley
