Good evening Middle High School families. Our Cafeteria staff needs your help and support. Lately there have been a few students who give our Cafeteria staff a hard time about taking fruit or juice at breakfast or fruit or vegetables at lunch. The taking of these items is not a school rule, it is a New York State requirement that guarantees that our students receive the required amount of fruits, vegetables, and grains per meal. Compliance with this rule helps us maintain a free meal program. Please encourage your children to take these items without giving our Cafeteria staff a hard time as we move forward. If your child does not plan to eat the items, the items can be placed in a designated location for others to take as extra servings, which is popular and prevents food being wasted by being thrown in the trash. Thank you for your continued support.

The NACS Yearbook staff would like to remind seniors and their parents of important dates and information for the remainder of the 24-25 school year. Please click on the following link for more information: https://5il.co/311fr
