THE ROARING TIMES 9/27/24

Dear NCS Families,

Guest Teachers

We are so fortunate to have a list of guest teachers within our community who are happy to fill in whenever we have absences at NCS. Being a guest teacher is incredibly challenging. Most of the time, you get a call the morning of an absence and arrive sometimes just minutes before the day begins. Though the plans that our teachers leave are very detailed, plans can only take you so far. Beyond the plan is implementation. This is why we always ask our students to act on their absolute best behavior whenever a guest teacher is present even though it can also be a challenging change in routine for them. These community members are our guests and we in turn need to recognize the unique challenge of their job and try to be as accommodating as possible. Thank you for speaking to your child about the role of a guest teacher and our elevated behavioral expectations when one is present.

Best,

Adam Bullard

Its official Hot Breakfast is back!!

Starting Monday, hot breakfast will be served by our wonderful kitchen staff. Upon arrival, interested students should head to the gym/cafe to get their meal before going to their classrooms. And remember, all students eat for free again this year!

Picture Day was a huge success with everyone looking great!

First graders have been learning about the life cycle of a butterfly. What better way to learn than to collect their own monarch caterpillars and watch as they transform into beautiful butterflies?

The next best thing to watching the metamorphosis is the release of the newly hatched monarchs. Kindergartners joined as the butterflies were set free, watching as they floated off in the distance.
