Some things worth mentioning. . .

Thank you, families, for your daily efforts to ensure your children get enough rest, come to school on time, prepared for the day. It's a treat to see children happy and confident at school. 

The NCS HANDBOOK is a useful reference for families with questions about school policies, schedules and expectations. We appreciate your support between home and school. 

For many students, part of school involves riding the bus. All student bus riders should have brought home a BUS BEHAVIOR CONTRACT.  Please review it with your child(ren), sign and return the form to school (one signed copy per student). See the link above if you do not have a copy. Contact the school if you need a printed copy.

PICTURE DAY will be Monday morning, September 26. Students will be bringing home order forms today to be returned or order online with our code FM389711. Everyone will have a photo taken regardless of whether or not you choose to order a package.  

Every grade 5-8 student is IN BAND!

NCS has not had an instrumental program in three years. We are going to have a fabulous beginning band--a building year. The enthusiasm is wonderful!

It's important that musicians practice so that they can advance in their instruments. Students in band have a practice log that needs to be completed weekly. 

The flute choir has lunch together on Wednesdays!

We are hoping for a few more instruments for students. If you have an instrument in great working condition that no one is playing, please consider letting a student here at NCS use it.  

Thank you!
