Principal's Message
Dear NDAA Family,
We are entering the final month of this school year, and we are proud of our dedicated staff who continue to provide the best Christian education to our students. As we prepare our young people to become responsible citizens in this world and faithful members of the heavenly kingdom, let us take a moment to reflect on the following:
“Daniel and his companions had been faithfully instructed in the principles of the word of God. They had learned to sacrifice the earthly to the spiritual, to seek the highest good. And they reaped the reward. Their habits of temperance and their sense of responsibility as representatives of God called to noblest development the powers of body, mind, and soul. At the end of their training, in their examination with other candidates for the honors of the kingdom, there was ‘found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.’”
— Ellen G. White, Education, p. 52
May we all continue striving for excellence—academically, spiritually, and in character—just as Daniel and his friends did.
Have a magnificent week!

Students Cell Phones and Smart Watches

At the end of the day, students must sign out their device(s) from the same staff member.
In accordance with our school handbook, smartwatches are not permitted on campus. We have noticed that some students have been using smartwatches to send messages throughout the day. We kindly ask that students leave their smartwatches at home, or they may check them in at the front office upon arrival.
Please note: Any student found in violation of this policy will incur a $50 fine.
Thank you for your continued support in helping us maintain a focused and distraction-free learning environment..
