Everyone has been working so hard since February break. February until April is a very focused learning time and it shows. I love going into classrooms and hearing students read and hear the progress they have made. After April, the time will fly.
You have now all received letters regarding the seventh and eighth grade closure. It is very important to remember that we will tell you what we can, but we are very mindful of privacy laws. I would like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for keeping students home for sore throats, colds and flu-like symptoms.
On Monday the NCS Board approved an after-school chess club. Chess Club will begin Thursday, April 29, after school for grades 3-8, 2:40-3:40pm. A permission slip is required. Parents should wait in the circle for students to come out of the building after chess club. The School Board also approved fund-raising by the eighth-graders for their eighth grade trip. Grade 8 students will be working over vacation on their fundraising plans.
We are asking all NCS families to be very, very careful during the break. Please wear a mask and social distance. Contact Nurse Kayla if you have any questions or concerns about what you need to do, especially if traveling out of state. Anyone traveling outside New England is subject to testing and/or quarantine guidelines. Visit Maines Travel Guidelines or call Nurse Kayla.
Important reminder, please screen before coming to school. If your child is having any symptoms of illness, has had a covid test that came back negative and still having symptoms, please keep your child home. We are looking out for everyone's safety.
Have you seen the email announcing the new NCS Principal? We welcome Mr. Ira Michaud to NCS!
Have an amazing break. We look forward to welcoming you all back after the spring vacation!
Warm regards,
Sharon
