The North Scott School Board approved next year's school calendar at the January 8 board meeting. It may be viewed and downloaded here.

The first day of school is on Friday August 23. This will be a full day of school.

North Scott Community Feed Our Children will be offering FREE sack lunches this summer to children in the NS area on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from June 11- August 15. We invite your staff and coaches/teams to help us prepare/assemble lunches. Teens are welcome to help prepare lunches, but we ask that only adults drive/distribute lunches (both for safety and for the privacy of those receiving lunches.)

This is a great team building opportunity, and helps out many children and families in our NS neighborhoods throughout the summer. Lunches are prepared at Faith Lutheran Church, 500 W. LeClaire Rd, Eldridge, on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, from 10-11:30. Lunches distribution runs 11:15 am -12:30 pm. If you have any questions, please contact Faith Lutheran Church at 563-285-4501.
