Letter from the Elementary Principal
March 24, 2017
Dear NCS Parents and Guardians:
As we move from winter to spring, I wanted to make sure I took the time to pass along the schedule for the mandated 3-8 Math and English Language Arts (ELA) assessments that our students will take next week (ELA) and in May (Math). I have listed the dates on the bottom of this letter. We are pleased that there is an extended period of time (including the spring break) between exams this year.
A Chance for Students to “Show What They Know”
While some might characterize exams as “punitive,” the truth is that we spend a great deal of time every year assessing whether or not students have mastered particular skills or pieces of content knowledge. We use projects, quizzes, unit tests, ...

NCS Proposes Capital Improvement Project
Dear Members of the Naples School Community:
Our school facilities serve as a source of pride as well as a significant investment by our local community. In order to protect our investment and make sure that our students have safe and appropriate learning spaces, our Board of Education has been exploring the possibility of a capital improvement project for just over a year.
During that time, our Facilities Committee has done a line-by-line review of our required Building Condition Survey (BCS), and in the process, identified the most pressing needs of our District. In addition, our Board of Education has also committed to saving for capital improvements through Capital Reserve Funds.
At its February 15, 2017 meeting, the Board of Education reviewed a $7,725,000 project proposal ...

Information on the Flu
NCS Parents:
Because the health and safety of students is always our first priority, I wanted to take a minute to pass along information related to seasonal influenza (flu). The flu is an infection of the nose, throat, and lungs, and symptoms typically include a fever, a cough and/or sore throat, a runny or stuffy nose, headaches and/or body aches, chills, fatigue, etc. Because the flu can be spread from one person to another, we suggest that children as well as their parents receive a vaccination each year. In addition, as a preventative measure we also recommend that students and staff follow the “3 C’s”:
Cover your nose and sneeze with the inside of your elbow and not your hands
Cleanse your hands frequently
Contain your germs by staying home when you ...

Music Should Be Part of Every Child’s Academic Experience
Dear NCS Parents:
On January 27 and 28, NCS hosted the 2017 Junior and Senior High All County Music Festival. For two days, our “halls were alive with the sound of music” as students from thirteen area schools played in a Concert Band, Symphony Orchestra, Jazz Ensemble, and Chorus. Their presence was a reminder to everyone that music gives students the skills and opportunities needed for success in the 21 st century. By requiring students to dedicate themselves to a task, work hard, be creative, and problem solve, music helps fine-tune the talents that colleges and employers across the world desire. In addition, music is the perfect way to balance the individual with the collective. Because individuals cannot simply become better musicians by reading a book or watching a ...

Community Presentation on Stakeholder Interviews
Dear Members of the Naples School Community:
Over Holiday Break, I had the chance to catch up on a bit of reading. One of the books I picked up off my coffee table was Thomas Friedman’s Thank You for Being Late . Exploring how rapid accelerations in technology, globalization, and climate change have been impacting our lives, Friedman comments on what the world was like ten years ago when he writes:
“Facebook didn’t even exist yet, Twitter was still a sound, the cloud was still in the sky, 4G was a parking space, ‘applications’ were what you sent to college, LinkedIn was barely known and most people thought it was a prison, Big Data was a good name for a rap star, and Skype, for most people, was a typographical error. All of those technologies blossomed ...
