Dear NCHS Family, We hope everyone did great on their exams and had an opportunity to participate in our Wellness and Enrichment activities. We will continue to find ways to reduce stress for our students. We did a survey and their feedback will be useful as we consider activities in the future. The second semester has begun and it is an opportunity for students to have a fresh start and set new goals for themselves. Schools are unique in that students get several points where they get fresh starts and chances to hit reset. The semester provides that or an opportunity for them to continue the good work that they have already done. Course selection begins in March, but the 2018-2019 Program of Studies will be available to view by February 5th. It is always a good idea to review the Program of Studies before the course selection process begins. One second everyday (the semester at a glance): I look forward to seeing you at the many events throughout the year. As alwa...

Dear NCHS Family, We hope everyone did wonderful on their first two days of exams. While it is important to do their personal best, we want students to realize that this is only one indicator of success. We also hope that students chose to participate in the variety of activities during our Wellness and Enrichment break in between exams. Mid Term Exams: On Twitter?

Dear NCHS Family, Exams: The schedule for exams can be found here.  We hope that everyone gets their rest and does the best they can on the exams.  We are proud of our kids and while we want them to do well on exams, this is only one indicator of growth.  We are so fortunate to have students who are kind and good people. As a reminder, the faculty decided that there should be a period before exams when no new work or assessments are given, so that students can catch their breath before exams. With the revised exam schedule that means that from today teachers will not assign or collect any new out-of-class work nor administer or collect any graded assessments. However, class time during these three days may be used to begin part of the exam. Students' time outside the classroom should be used to prepare for their exams. Also, between exams we will have activities for the students to participate in and have extended the period in between exams by fiftee...
