-Northdale Middle School Renaissance Program-

 

What is Renaissance?

Renaissance is an approach to education that encourages students to excel in academics, demonstrate positive behavior and achieve their goals. It recognizes educators as valued professionals and increases involvement of parents and businesses.

Renaissance not only recognizes those who do well and those who improve, but also those who need encouragement. Everyone needs to be recognized.

A Message from the Principal

 

As we embark upon the new school year, students, parents and faculty experience a time to set expectations and goals. This experience allows us to undergo a renaissance - a rebirth, renewal and reawakening. I challenge our students, staff and learning community to join together to support NMS's Renaissance goals. I hope you will consider joining our team to help our students be the best they can be!!
