Mrs. Trombley's 1st grade class expressed their gratitude to the cafeteria staff this week by sending these sweet hand-made thank you cards.
Good afternoon NAC Community! At 12:30 this afternoon a letter will be available in the NEWS section of our website. It is important information about our plan to "Pause" from in-person learning after Thanksgiving break. More information will be shared in the upcoming days with specifics on food and paperwork deliveries. Our CVES and CV-Tech students will still attend their classes in-person and we will be providing the same transportation as we are now.
Good afternoon NAC Families! In an effort to be proactive and ahead of things as our County is experiencing an increase in positive COVID-19 cases, which could result in short term or long term breaks from in-person learning, we are asking you to let us know if you plan to receive meals. Please call the main office or cafeteria of the building your child attends if you plan to receive meal deliveries if we are functioning in a fully remote manner. We would appreciate your call by Friday, November 20th.

Elementary Memory Books Are Here!
Please be on the look-out for your child’s 2019-20 Memory Book (yearbook) which is being sent home this week. Each one has been labeled with the student’s name in an effort to help them keep better track of their book. In the past we have had issues with students losing, misplacing, or having their book stolen, so please help your
child to take care of his/her book as we cannot replace them. Also, for those who may still want to buy one, we have a limited number of copies left. You may send in cash or a check for $18.00 made out to “NACS” if you would like to purchase one.
Enjoy reliving the memories!
The Elementary students are picking pumpkins! Thanks to Reyell's Farm Stand, each NAC Elementary student will be bringing home a pumpkin from our very own "pumpkin patch!"
Sale date extended! 2019-20 Elementary Yearbooks will still be available for purchase for a few more weeks! Don't miss out on last year's memories. Because we went home early last spring, the memory books weren't available for purchase in the spring like they usually are. Get yours today!
