North Smithfield Middle School

This summer we developed a new school website which will replace the blog. The new website will have daily announcements, important school information and other newsletter-type items.

You can access the new site through our district website or go to the url directly at: http://nsms.northsmithfieldschools.com/

We hope you find it valuable:)

Dear NSMS Community,

I am writing to inform you that I was recently appointed by the School Committee to serve as the Director of Curriculum and Instruction for North Smithfield Schools. I am excited about my new role and look forward to working in this capacity. With that said, it is difficult for me to leave my post as Assistant Principal as it has been such an amazing two years! It has been an honor and privilege to serve you and your student.

Thank you for all the time, energy, effort and support you have given to make NSMS the remarkable school that it is.

NSMS Rocks!

Sincerely,

Clare Arnold

Dear Parents/Guardians:

Please join us for a Parent/Student Orientation welcoming our 6th Grade students and new students to the district on August 25th @ 6pm. A presentation is planned to help parents and students become acclimated to NSMS. Students will also receive their schedules followed by a building tour. We look forward to serving you and your NSMS student!

Sincerely,

John Lahar, Principal
