A Day In The Life of A NDMS Student

 A seventh grader arrives at school at approximately 7:20 a.m. and eats breakfast with her friends. They excitedly discuss the dance they are practicing during after school and today’s math test. The bell rings at 7:55 a.m. and she heads off to her homeroom for a morning reflection and announcements. Another day of learning is about to begin. 

After a full morning of classes including Reading, English, Math and Science, she is grateful for a mental break at lunch.  During recess she talks with her teacher and friends about the photosynthesis experiment she just completed. At the bell she returns to her homeroom to silently read her book for 15 minutes. Then she heads off to her classes in Spanish, Religion, Social Studies, Music or Computers, and Physical Education. 

The 3:30 p.m. bell rings and she returns to her homeroom for further announcements and clean-up.  After a quick snack she meets with one of her teachers to work on her homework for an hour. Then it is off to her basketball practice where she prepares for her game on Saturday. Finally 6:00 p.m. arrives and it is time to head home to finish her homework, relax with her family, and prepare for her next day at Notre Dame Middle School.

The teachers are VERY kind to students at NDMS and they show us a lot of respect. They will kindly help you if you do not understand something.  They will also work with you during study hall...the teachers are always there to help.
