Three NCS Teachers Participate in NYS Master Teacher Program
The New York State Master Teacher Program’s initiative is to strengthen STEM programming across all school districts, for all of our students, to better prepare our kids for the world they will inherit.

Covid Protocols Update
** Please note this info is subject to change. Please look out for additional communication from the Superintendent. **
The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) has indicated they will no longer be contact tracing potential COVID exposures for individuals. In consideration of this and based on Ontario County Public Health (OCPH) feedback, students who have been quarantined, due to an exposure on the bus or during breakfast or lunch, have very rarely contracted COVID from that exposure. Rather than conducting individual contact tracing, public health will work with schools to continue to do cluster contact tracing when there appears to be multiple cases within a setting or cohort (team, classroom, lunch table, etc.). A cluster outbreak and subsequent investigation will ...

Dear NCS Parents and Community:
Please find important updates below:
COVID Updates
Being Prepared
As the number of positive cases increases we are reminded to revisit all learning options so that we can keep student learning going under all circumstances. Often students required to isolate or quarantine feel fine and have slight or no symptoms. There is no plan to move to a remote or hybrid learning environment at this time. However, if circumstances require it, we want our students to be prepared to learn.
Therefore, we will be sending all students home with their portable learning tool and some basic instructions on Wednesday just in case some of our students have to learn remotely ...
