It's NWEA season at NCS. Students in grades 1-4 will be taking the assessments this week, and 5-8 are scheduled to takes their NWEA's next week.

Are you in a quandary when it comes to talk of NWEA and assessments? This link may be helpful to you:  PARENT Q&A REGARDING NWEA

The most basic way to set your family up for success: Please try to have your student to school on time. Planning a good night's rest into your schedule helps children (of all ages!) face each new day with added confidence. 

Take good care!

Happy New Year! Things to celebrate . . .
