Graduation Update
Senior Families,
If you are anything like us, you have probably been checking the weather reports for graduation. After reviewing a number of sources, it looks like there is a 30% chance it could rain tomorrow morning.
While it is a difficult call, we wanted to let you know that we will be sticking with our original plan of holding an outdoor graduation ceremony on the front lawn of the High School at 11:00 a.m. We have our fingers crossed that the rains stay away, and believe that moving graduation to Sunday would bring a new set of challenges involving heat, humidity, and rescheduling graduation parties and travel for family members.
With that being said, we would encourage you to bring rain jackets or umbrellas in case of inclement weather. The ceremony should only be an ...

Dear NCS Family,
I wanted to let you know that Mr. Ryan Betrus ( click here ) was recently named the 2020-2021 New York State Small School Soccer Coach of the Year by United Soccer Coaches.

Update on Power Outage
NCS Families,
I wanted to let you know that power was restored at NCS at approximately 11:35 a.m. today. During the outage, our Food Service Department and our Facilities Department made sure that our students had lunches, access to drinking water, hand sanitizer, and working bathrooms. Additionally, because the sun is shining and temperatures were in the mid-60s, there were no safety issues related to heat.
However, I did want to acknowledge that the disruption likely proved especially challenging for remote learners due to the loss of Internet. If your son or daughter is concerned that they may have missed out on important learning this morning, please have them reach out to their teachers when they have a minute.

Staff Appreciation Week
Dear NCS Families,
In the best of times, we know the work of educators is incredibly difficult. So much so that after more than 30 years in the classroom, one Stanford professor commented that teaching “is perhaps the most complex, most challenging, and most demanding, subtle, nuanced, and frightening activity that our species has ever invented—the only time a physician could possibly encounter a situation of comparable complexity would be in the emergency room of a hospital during or after a natural disaster.”
And that was before the COVID-19 pandemic.
As you well know, the past year has brought challenges never before experienced by educators. Through it all, our faculty and staff have gone above and beyond to master remote instruction, ...
