Nodaway Valley Middle School

The Nodaway Valley Middle School is located in Fontanelle. This facility first opened its doors in 2000. Students in sixth through eighth grade attend classes in this center. Separate from seventh and eighth grade students, sixth grade students feel at home in their own wing of the building.

Teachers work collaboratively to plan interdisciplinary units of instruction in all grades. In addition to their core academic classes, middle school students attend exploratory classes in art, technology, and family and consumer science. Instrumental and vocal music are also a part of the day for many middle school students.

Good work is celebrated at the end of each quarter. Three of the more popular events include the all-school volleyball tournament, a fun night and a steal the pins tournament. An active student council assists in planning special events throughout the year.
