We are excited to have you and your student as part of our Kidder Nation. All of the staff have been working very hard to prepare for the return of our Kind, Motivated and Successful (KMS) students and we look forward to meeting our new sixth grade students!

 We would also like to welcome and introduce all of our new staff that have joined our team in the past year.  Greg Zimmerman - 8th Grade Language Arts, Mike Knapp - Minecraft, Amber Keathley - 6th Grade Language Arts, Jenna Deblecourt - Family Consumer Science, Terri McEldowney - 6th Grade Language Arts, Evan Denney - 6th Grade Social Studies, Kristen Teal - Math, Jennifer Ludwig - 7th Grade Math, Rebecca Kelly - 8th Grade Science, and Marshall Hesslau - Counselor.  We are excited to have all of these new staff members working with us and our students.

  For those of you that are new to our building, we look forward to getting to know you.  We are thrilled that you will be part of our Northwest Middle School family and will contribute to our excellent academic, athletic and fine arts programs.  Also, please make sure that you check our school website or follow us on Facebook so that we can send you updates on all the great things happening at the middle school and upcoming events that you will not want to miss. 

  Student academic success is the main goal of our entire staff.  We have set high expectations, and are working diligently to ensure that all of our students will reach their highest potential and offer assistance to those that need it.  However, students and staff cannot do it alone, we need and welcome parents’ positive commitment to their child’s education.

  I encourage you to get involved with your child’s school activities this year.  Visit our school, attend a concert or athletic performance, call or email your child’s teacher, or attend parent conferences, are all ways you can be involved.  We encourage you to let us know how to better serve your children.  I can be reached at (517) 817-4703 or by email at Daniel.Brooks@nwschools.org.  We are looking forward to a terrific school year!
