We’re excited to share that several NDMS students will have their artwork featured in the Dorchester Center for the Arts’ Young People’s Art Show! The artist reception will be held on March 14th from 5–7 PM, where student work will be judged for awards and recognized with participation certificates.
Art is all around us — from the mugs we use, to the street signs we read, to the buildings we work in. Creativity shapes our world, and our students are already stepping into the roles of future architects, designers, advertisers, fashion creators, and problem-solvers. We are incredibly proud of their talent and hard work!

Today, our student musicians had an incredible opportunity to attend an open rehearsal with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra! 🎻✨
They were able to see world‑class musicians up close, observe the rehearsal process, and experience what professional music-making looks and sounds like. Such an inspiring day for our future artists!
Huge thank you to our band directors for making this experience possible! 🙌

The official School Bus Driver Appreciation Day is April 28 — but there are also several appreciation days recognized in February. One thing we knew for sure… we didn’t want to miss the opportunity to share some love for our amazing drivers!
Our bus drivers are often the first smile our students see in the morning and the last goodbye in the afternoon. They play a critical role in keeping our students safe while building positive relationships every single day. Rain, cold mornings, busy afternoons — they show up for our kids.
To all of our NDMS bus drivers: THANK YOU for your dedication, patience, and care for our students. We appreciate you more than words can express! 🦉❤️💙
If you see a bus driver this week, take a moment to say thank you!
There is a slight possibility of winter weather this weekend. As a precaution, students are being sent home with their devices and/or paper learning packets tomorrow, Friday, February 20th in the event that school is impacted next week.
Should weather conditions cause a school closure at the start of next week, we will transition to virtual instruction. We hope that the weather will cooperate and that we will see our students in person, bright and early, on Monday.
Thank you for your support and understanding as we prepare for all possibilities.
