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.

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.

Grade 5/6 Volleyball – Lisa Perkins

The Grade 5/6 Volleyball season has come to an end! We finished the season with a fun-filled tournament in Maidstone. The kids learned a lot of new skills and enjoyed playing as a team. I would like to say a huge thank you to Eduard Borja and Taeya Wiens for helping coach throughout the season, Nicole Ryall and Sarah Hein for helping at the tournament, also thank you to all those who drove our players safely to their games.

The Neilburg Composite School would also like to thank the Neilburg Ladies Altar Society for donating $100 to purchase 2 new junior volleyballs!

Hat Day is every Friday

All hat day profits go to our foster child Hao Hao in China. The annual fee is $504. Two dollars is the cost to wear a hat on Friday. There are also $20 Hat Day punch cards available on SchoolCash On-Line or from an SRC member. Any extra funds from Hat Day will be donated to other charitable activities during the year.
