HAPPY NEW YEAR!

From our NHMS family to yours, we hope you had a wonderful holiday break. As we begin 2026, we are excited to kick off another semester of innovation and creativity at North Hall Middle School.

This spring, students will once again dive into learning through our Spring STEAM Passion Project, where they will explore areas they are truly passionate about. As we continue our transition into a STEAM Exploratory School, student choice and authentic learning remain at the heart of what we do.

Our fall STEAM projects were a huge success, and we cannot wait to see what our students create this spring. More details will be shared in the coming weeks.

Thank you for your continued partnership.

Below are a few logistical reminders:

*Student IDs are expected to be worn everyday as a part of our safety measures to ensure safety and security of our building.  If students forget their ID the must wear a name sticker, repeat offenders will begin to be charged for these stickers starting this semester.

*Multiple communications have been sent our regarding our new cell phone policy: 

As we work toward complying with new state legislation that will restrict student access to cell phones (Fall 2026), we want to share important expectations. All electronic devices must be turned off and put away before students enter the building. This includes all cell phones, tablets, Apple Watches, and any other smart devices. Additionally, students will no longer need wireless headsets of any kind moving forward.  Wired headsets used with a school issued Chromebook will be the only ones acceptable.  From the hours of 7:30-3:35, no student will be permitted to have or use any device other than their school issued Chromebook.

We are beginning communication now to help families prepare for these changes in January, and prepare for next fall.

Looking ahead to the fall of 2026, state legislation will prohibit students from accessing their devices at all during the school day. As we get closer to next fall, we will develop and share a detailed plan to ensure full compliance with this law.

Thank you for your support in helping keep our school a focused and distraction-free environment.

A medida que trabajamos para cumplir con la nueva legislación estatal que restringirá el acceso de los estudiantes a los teléfonos celulares (otoño de 2026), queremos compartir expectativas importantes para cuando regresemos en enero. Todos los dispositivos electrónicos deben estar apagados y guardados antes de que los estudiantes entren al edificio. Esto incluye todos los teléfonos celulares, tabletas, Apple Watches y cualquier otro dispositivo inteligente. Además, los estudiantes ya no necesitarán audífonos inalámbricos de ningún tipo. Los únicos aceptables serán los audífonos con cable utilizados con una Chromebook proporcionada por la escuela.
Entre las horas de 7:30 a 3:35, no se permitirá que ningún estudiante tenga o use ningún dispositivo que no sea la Chromebook emitida por la escuela.

Estamos comenzando la comunicación ahora para ayudar a las familias a prepararse para estos cambios en enero y para el próximo otoño.
Mirando hacia el otoño de 2026, la legislación estatal prohibirá que los estudiantes accedan a sus dispositivos durante todo el día escolar. A medida que nos acerquemos al próximo otoño, desarrollaremos y compartiremos un plan detallado para garantizar el cumplimiento total de esta ley.

Gracias por su apoyo para ayudar a mantener nuestra escuela enfocada y libre de distracciones.

Feed the Light!
