Weather Related School Cancellations and Closings
Closing school is one of the most difficult decisions districts have to make. While we want our students in school and ready to learn each day, the reality is that we live in upstate New York and the weather can change very quickly.
With the winter months comes an increased focus on student safety, and there are days when we must cancel after school activities or even close school because of unsafe road conditions. Please know that these decisions are made very carefully, and only after consulting weather resources, local highway superintendents, our transportation supervisor, and area school administrators.
In the event of a closing or a cancellation, the District will send out a Connect-Ed Parent Notification on our phone system, and we will post information on the school homepage. ...

Operation Santa Accepting Donations
Over 70 years ago, Pauline McKenna, a school nurse, and Pauline Moscato, an elementary school teacher, decided to provide for children in the community who were not able to have bright and happy holiday seasons. Their selfless actions began a Naples tradition that has continued ever since.
Last year, through the generous contributions of area businesses and residents, more than 60 families received clothing, books, toys and food coupons, and over 50 senior citizens were remembered with fruit baskets.
I am honored to once again be this year’s chairperson of Operation Santa. A student committee of 10 th – 12 th grade students has already begun working. We would like to ask you to consider donating to Operation Santa this year. Every dollar ...

Naples Educators Announced as “Master Teachers”
On October 2, 2018, the Naples Central School District received a call from Governor Cuomo’s office announcing that Mr. Jon Betrus (High School Science) and Mr. Adam Robison (High School Mathematics) had been selected as New York State Master Teachers.
The Master Teacher Program was created to strengthen STEM education in the United States, and it has helped establish a network of teachers across New York who are committed to the success of all students. When asked to comment about the selection, Superintendent Matt Frahm said, “one would be hard pressed to find two educators who are more dedicated to their craft than Jon and Adam.” He went on to say, “both individuals are willing to do whatever it takes to help students find what they are passionate about, and ...

Newest “Graduate of Distinction”
Dear NCS Family:
Four years ago, the Naples Central School District established a “Graduates of Distinction” program in order to honor the outstanding accomplishments of NCS graduates. This year, we are pleased to announce that Jedd Habersto (Class of 2010) will be inducted as the newest member of the group.
However, because Jedd now resides in Silicon Valley where he works on Apple’s international team of software and hardware engineers, he could not make it home for the induction. Instead, Jedd has recorded a short acceptance video that we will be sharing with current and future NCS students.
If you have a few spare minutes, I would invite you to watch the video (click HERE ) that Jedd put together. Jedd has a unique story, and his words remind us that ...
