NNM Families,
As the school year comes to a close, I want to thank our students and families for being part of such a vibrant and supportive school community. Middle school is a time of growth, exploration, and discovery, and it is our privilege to partner with families during these important years.
If you are considering enrolling your student, we invite you to join our high-performing school within Collier County Public Schools, an A-rated district recognized for its commitment to student achievement. Click here to enroll. The first day of school is Tuesday, August 11, 2026. Our school day begins at 9:05 a.m. and dismissal is at 3:50 p.m.
To our returning families, thank you for your continued trust. We are looking forward to welcoming students back to campus. As you prepare for the months ahead, we encourage students to stay engaged by reading regularly and exploring the 2026 Summer CCPS Classics Reading List.
One of the major benefits of enrollment in our school is the wide variety of courses we offer – https://nnm.collierschools.com/students-and-families/elective-courses
Schedule Distribution Official student schedules will be handed out directly to students on the first day of school. Our team is working hard behind the scenes to ensure a smooth transition, and having students receive their schedules on day one helps us maintain the most accurate up-to-date placements.
Core Class Placements Placement in core academic classes (Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies) is determined in accordance with Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) data. This ensures each student is placed in the environment that best supports their learning and sets them up for maximum academic growth.
Elective Courses We do our absolute best to honor student interests when it comes to electives. Please keep in mind that elective placements are finalized according to overall enrollment numbers, class size limits, and general availability within each student's unique daily schedule.
We hope all students take time to recharge while continuing to grow as learners. We are proud to be a school you can trust and a choice you can feel confident making for your child’s future.
In partnership,
Melissa Kuk
Principal, North Naples Middle School
