Just a reminder that tomorrow is the retake day for school pictures. Students that were absent on picture day should plan on taking their photo tomorrow in order to be issued a student ID. Also, students that didn't have their picture taken and want to order a package can either use the original order form that was sent home in the mail or there are order forms available in the main office. If your student is having their portrait retaken, please return the original package of pictures to the photographer tomorrow. No order form is necessary and a new order will be processed for that student.
Please note that retakes are only offered for students who paid for a portrait package or who were absent on the original picture day. If you have any questions please call O'Connor Studios at 978-640-6250.
Just a reminder for those that signed up for evening conferences they will take place tonight from 6pm-8pm as we wrap up Term 1 tomorrow.
The weather was perfect for Halloween at Nipmuc! The results are in and the School Counseling Department have bragging rights this year for best faculty costumes. #nipmucpride
Every year at Nipmuc, Halloween becomes a day of costumes, friendly competition, and a lot of fun! We come together as a school community to put our creativity on display as students, faculty, and staff dress up in their best costumes. We are excited that once again the Nipmuc Student Council will be hosting their annual Halloween costume contest. They will be having 6 different categories: best homemade costume, best duo costume, best group, spookiest group costume, best faculty costume, and funniest costume. The winners of each of these categories will receive a prize. Learn more in today's newsletter. #nipmucpride
Sra. Soto is only looking for a few more families to host as part of the Spanish Exchange Program. Students from Spain will arrive on December 3 and will be departing on December 19. If you are interested in learning more about being a host family please email her at asoto@mursd.org.
We can't believe that we are just over a week from the end of the first term. Students should be checking PowerSchool and working with their teachers to ensure all assignments are turned in and completed.

Each day of the week is dedicated to one of our five pillars that achieve that change: awareness, education, advocacy, connection, and community. Each day offers a combination of actions you and your community can take in support of each of these themes. You can see the theme for each day this week in the flyer below. #nipmucpride
The caregiver/teacher conferences are just a few short weeks away. Be on the lookout in Monday's newsletter for the sign-up sheet to meet with each of your students' teachers.
Congratulations to Ms. Simmonds and all of the students that participated in the Rockin' for a Reason concert this past Friday evening. In total, the students raised just over $8,000 for the Ty Louis Campbell Foundation. Most of the money raised will go to fund research for safer pediatric cancer treatments, and some will go to their Family Grant program, which directly benefits families with children undergoing treatment. The students did a great job and we wanted to congratulate all those Nipmuc students that participated listed below. #nipmucpride
