At NLMS, we use various means to ensure that every student receives instruction designed for his or her individual needs. We continuously analyze test data, assessment surveys, and other student data to determine strengths and weaknesses of the instructional program. Weakness areas are targeted through consolidated planning and differentiated strategies are implemented and monitored for success. Professional development is provided for all staff in the targeted areas. The staff at NLMS is dedicated to helping every student be a successful life-long learner.
Technology enables teachers to enhance and broaden student learning.
Students are also encouraged to research and to create products for classroom presentation using the latest technological applications. With three computer labs and at least two computers in each classroom, access is available daily. Teachers model global learning through multimedia presentations, interactive distance learning applications and creation of databases and spreadsheets. Technology incorporated at NLMS is helping students develop life skills that will enhance their ability to live and work in our increasingly diverse society. While it cannot tell everything about our performance, the report card is a good starting point for discussions with our teachers, administrators, school council members, and school board members.
