“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” Hebrews 10:24-25

NCCS Mission Statement

We equip graduates to apply Biblical truth

as disciples of Christ.

We are so excited to be celebrating the 50th anniversary of NCCS this school year! One thing we're doing to celebrate is making available a limited edition, 50th anniversary t-shirt.

Order and pay for your t-shirts using the Anniversary Shirt Order Form. All orders must be placed before 11:00 p.m. on November 1.

STOP BY DURING CONFERENCES TO SEEE IF YOUR STUDENT HAS ANY LOST ITEMS. We are asking parents to put their child(ren)'s names in articles of clothing, on water bottles, etc., to easily identify personal items brought to school. We have VERY limited space, so we will not be holding on to items more than a week. We will donate any items to a charity at the end of each week, unless they are clearly marked with a student name and we can get it to the student on the same day. Next donation day is Nov. 3.

Congratulations to Coach Nelson, Coach Minne and the varsity volleyball team for their amazing success at winning the District Championship title, as well as the team Sportsmanship Award. Our team also had some individual awards: Millie received All League Honorable Mention, Lacey 2nd Team, Noe Defensive Team, Bekah 1st Team, and Olivia got Player of the Year!

Our team won the first round of the state playoffs, finishing the season with 10th in state.

Congratulations to our varsity soccer team players who received league awards: Kian and Jonny Honorable Mention, Mason 2nd Team, Matt 1st Team, and Briar League Goalkeeper of the Year and 1st Team.

Registration for basketball season is open and accessible through our Athletics page. NCCS offers basketball for boys and girls, elementary (5th/6th) through junior high and high school.

Each month administration will host a time of community fellowship for parents of children PreK-12th grade. There will be a time of prayer, a devotional, sharing, learning, and connection, along with some tasty pastries served. We will set aside the a THURSDAY morning each month to spend this time together.

After reviewing the survey results, smartphones was the number one parenting topic selected for discussion. We will be gathering from 8:15-9am on Nov. 16 to discuss the topic of smartphones and using the Smartphones Parent Guide from AXIS as a source for our discussion. Each month we will address a new topic of parent's choice based on our survey. Feel free to bring any resources that you would like to share on this topic to add to our discussion next month. We will meet on black top after student drop off and then walk together to room 404. See you there!

Would you consider being a host home during 2nd semester for International Students from Korea? We have two 11th grade girls coming from our Vision Classical Christian School, a sister school to NCCS. They will arrive the last week in January and attend our school through the end of the school year, then return home for the summer. It is their plan to return for their senior year and then study in the US for college. There is a monthly stipend paid to the host family to cover living expenses. Please contact Jodi Gill for more information about this opportunity.

Mahayla Rice, First Grade Teacher, is taking a family leave for the birth of her baby boy. Please join us in celebrating this new blessing in the Rice family. Jodie Hicks is the long-term substitute for First Grade through January.

McKenzie Falotico, Office Manager, will be on family leave for the birth of their second child. The plan is for her to be on leave the last week of November through February. Please join us in celebration with the Falotico's as we welcome the new addition to their family. Rebecca Hankland, an NCCS parent, will be a long-term substitute for McKenzie during her leave. She will retain the same email as McKenzie, and work the same hours, as a member of our office staff. Please welcome Rebecca to our school office team.

Parents and students are encouraged to keep absences to a minimum. Understandable reasons for absence from school would include, but are not limited to, student illnesses, death or illness in the family, or medical appointments.

In the event of a planned vacation or extended period of absence, parents must provide the office and teacher with a written notice for pre-arranged absences. The designated form to be used for such purposes should be received in the office no less than one (1) week prior to the first day of the planned absence. These forms are available in the office. These forms are not required for individual medical appointments, only for reoccurring appointments or an extended absence.

Thank you for encouraging your student to be at school!

Please make church attendance with your family a priority. It is an expectation that NCCS parents and students attend a Christian church. We hope our families are attending a Christian church and are involved in that community, in person. If you are looking for a home church, we encourage you to check out our list of local churches where we already have school families attend.
