Please be advised that effective Monday, October 21, 2019, NCS will be locking all exterior doors between the hours of 9:00 am and 3:15 with the exception of the main school doors. Visitors will be required to check in with the school office. We are asking parents to drop off their children at the main doors if they are arriving late. This will bring us in line with best practices and with school division policy.

LOOKING FOR SUPPLIES
The school library could use the following items if you have any that you no longer want or need:
Narrow ribbons, stickers (such as you get free in the mail), cardstock or other heavier paper and pool noodles
LITTLE FREE LIBRARY
We have started a "Little Free Library" at the school. Students may take a book to keep. If they have one that they want to put in its place, that is great, but not required.
Most of the books are geared towards teenagers, but as we get books donated or are culled from the library, it will be filled with all different kinds of books. If you have any books at home that would be suitable and you would like to donate them, we would very much appreciate it.
Caution! Caution!
Due to severe allergies among the students at NCS, the school requires that everyone avoid bringing any items with nut products, eggs that are not baked into an item or animals to the school. Our students' health depends on your cooperation. Thank you.
COLDER WEATHER With the weather turning colder, please ensure that your child is dressed appropriately for outside recess and riding the bus.
SCHOOL MESSAGES
Parents PLEASE sign up for SchoolMessenger so that you receive messages from the school. This is the way we communicate important messages. Text to the number 724665 and then reply Yes and you will be set up to receive messages.
STUDENT ABSENCES Parents please notify the school if your child is going to be absent. The school will no longer be using the automated phone call system. Parents will be receiving a phone call if their child is absent. Please call or email the school for all absences. Voice messages can also be left at the school. Call 306-823-4313
