Northern Adirondack CSD

K-Kids, Builders Club, and Key Club would like to thank everyone who brought in items for the food drive or made monetary donations. We did it! We beat last year's record and collected 417 pounds of food and $366.50 in monetary donations. This will be shared equally with the food banks in our school district (Altona, Churubusco, Dannemora, and Ellenburg) as well as the NACS Backpack Program. Thank you all so very much!

NAC Elementary students and staff celebrated the holiday season all week, combining fun and learning! We finished off the week belting out holiday tunes at our annual Santa and Bobby Bobcat Sing-a-long! Thank you for the privilege of educating and caring for your children. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

That's a wrap! Another successful year for Little Shoppers at NAC Elementary. Key Club would like to thank everyone who donated items or volunteered their time to make Little Shoppers happen the past few years and hope you all have enjoyed the presents your littles have brought home for you. We love hearing who will receive the students' gifts and stories of gifts given out before Christmas because they just couldn't wait!

Today is the 67th day of school at NAC! If you can't beat 'em.... join 'em!

Don't forget to drop off your non-perishable food items for the school wide food drive now through Wednesday, December 17th. All items collected will be distributed to the food shelves in our district - Altona, Churubusco, Dannemora, and Ellenburg - as well as to the NACS Backpack Program.

Good evening NAC families! Northern Adirondack CSD will be conducting emergency drills during the school week of December 15 to December 19, 2025. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

NAC Kindergarten students and families created some amazing gingerbread houses... and memories! It's wonderful to see big brothers and sisters helping little siblings, grandparents spreading on the frosting, and parents appreciating the skills their children are developing in Kindgergarten. We're proud of all of you for your creativity and teamwork.

NAC extends a warm thank you to a community member for their donation of beautiful hand made hats and mittens for our students.

Good morning NAC families! Due to poor visibility we will be operating on a two hour delay this morning, Thursday, December 11th.

Northern Adirondack is cancelling all after school activities today, Wednesday, December 10th. Students will be released from school today at the normally scheduled times.
