Dear NDAA Family,

The NDAA learning community remains committed to fostering both academic and spiritual growth. Our focus is on guiding students in their development while keeping in mind these powerful words:

"The principles of truth, obedience, honor, integrity, and purity… become a living power to shape the character, through the acquaintance of the soul with Christ, through an acceptance of His wisdom as the guide, His power as the strength, of heart and life. This union formed; the student has found the Source of wisdom. He has within his reach the power to realize in himself his noblest ideals. The opportunities of the highest education for life in this world are his. And in the training here gained, he is entering upon that course which embraces eternity." (Ellen G. White, Education, p. 20)

May we continue to embrace the opportunities for learning and growth that each day brings. Let’s have a wonderful week!

Apreciada familia de NDAA,

I hope this message finds you well. We would like to inform you that over the Spring break, we will be upgrading our iPad security system to enhance protection and functionality for all devices.

To complete this upgrade, we kindly ask that all iPads remain at school during the break. Please ensure that each student hands their iPad to their respective class sponsor by Friday, March 14, 2025. We only need the iPad, and the cords can stay at home.

Students will be able to pick up their iPads from their sponsors when we return on Monday, March 24, 2025. Below are the class sponsors for each grade:

• 12th Grade Sponsor: Mr. Gray
• 11th Grade Sponsor: Mr. Dobson
• 10th Grade Sponsor: Mr. Stirewalt
• 9th Grade Sponsor: Mr. Arizaga
• 8th Grade Sponsor: Mrs. Huffins
• 7th Grade Sponsor: Mrs. Clark
• 5th and 6th Grade Sponsor: Mrs. Gomez

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out.
