Dear Pirate Families,

As we swiftly approach the end of fall, I am delighted to share the many achievements our NC community has accomplished thus far. From outstanding academic accomplishments to remarkable athletic performances, our students have exemplified dedication and excellence in every endeavor.

Last month we celebrated On-A-Roll, Honor Roll and Principal's List students and those who earned a perfect score on the 23-24 AASA math assessment. We also celebrated our fall student survey data, which showed that NC students have a high sense of belonging while at school and are highly engaged in class. Finally, we want to give a big shout out to our baseball and softball teams. NC softball won the District Championship and are now headed to Regionals- good luck Lady Pirates!

The NC PTSA fundraiser, Pirate Bootcamp is underway. This event will take place on November 9th (see the flyer below for more information). Thank you in advance for your participation and support of this fundraiser. Your contributions allow us to continually enhance NC programs across campus.

I'm wishing you all a November filled with gratitude, togetherness and the joy of learning. Thank you for being a vital part of our caring and connected Norterra Canyon family.

With warm regards,

Principal Milks
