We are praying the repairs can be completed Monday so we can return Tuesday and will keep you updated.
📸 Picture Day has been rescheduled from Sept. 22 to Friday, Oct. 9.

🚨 IMPORTANT NCCS UPDATE: Due to an unexpected water line break discovered this afternoon, our main water supply has been shut off and there is currently no running water on campus. Because this affects bathrooms, lunch service, and school operations, NCCS will be CLOSED tomorrow, Friday, Sept. 18. Extended Care and the Admin Office will also be closed.
We apologize for the unexpected inconvenience! A professional will assess the situation and begin repairs tomorrow. We'll keep families updated if additional information is needed.
Thank you for your understanding, prayers, and support! Have a safe and blessed weekend! 💙

Instruction will continue as follows:
Upper Academy (Grades 6-12)): Tomorrow is an “A” day.
Grades 3-5: Students should log in and follow the same schedule as today.
Grades K–2: Students will complete AMI Packet #3.
We appreciate your patience and flexibility as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff. Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to being back together on campus soon!
