What Makes NMS Special?

Welcome to Norwell Middle School, where student success is our top priority.  Our mission is to assist all students in developing the skills, attitudes, and values necessary to achieve their potential and realize their personal goals. Our entire staff takes great pride in meeting the needs of our students.

Upon entering Norwell Middle School you will find a variety of activities, classes, and facilities that we use to strive for our mission. Students will experience 21st century classrooms that will include an interactive projector, 60” smartTV, wifi, and wireless connectivity from their iPad. In addition to the technology, students will be able to work at tables and chairs, rather than the small and inflexible desks of the past. Students will now be able to work with peers in collaborative groups much like the workplace. The academic variety is second to none for a school our size. We offer four distinct diplomas, advanced placement and dual credit courses in science, social studies, mathematics, language arts, project lead the way, and career technical education. 

When you combine the academics and extra curricula’s, along with developing a young man or woman to realize their potential, Norwell is a great place for students.

PowerSchool/Learning Management System

The intention of PowerSchool Parent Access is to provide parents, guardians, students, and teachers with a tool to communicate grades, attendance records, assignments, teacher comments, and school announcements. NMS uses Schoology as the student's learning management system. Teachers use this platform to present curriculum, assign work, and build scope and sequence for course offerings.
