Come and meet our new principal, Ms. Lisa Silver
Welcome back to the familiar faces and a big warm
welcome to those joining Northern Adirondack Elementary
for the first time. I'm excited about the start of the
2004-2005 school year and hope you and your children are
as well. The faculty and staff have worked very hard to
prepare for this new school year. They join me in
welcoming everyone.
NACS is a "Great Place to Be" because of the students,
teachers, staff and community. As students and
contributors to NACS, we will continue to make great
things happen. Here are some tips for a successful
school year.
Suggested Steps to Student Success:
- Believe in yourself!
- Seek the help of any staff
member if you find yourself having problems; we can't
help if we don't know.
- Be prepared with all necessary
materials.
- Look for someone you can help in
school. We are part of a team that is working for
success.
- Get involved. At NACS, we have
many recognition and reward programs and these help
make school a great experience!
Student Rights
- Every person has the right to be
treated as an exceptional human being. By being a
student at NACS, you can expect these things:
- The right to an education
(teachers should be free to teach and students free to
learn without being interrupted by inconsiderate or
disruptive students).
- The right to be safe in school
and to have personal and school property respected.
- Freedom from physical abuse
and/or mental abuse such as name-calling,
intimidation, harassment or vulgar language. Swearing
and use of inappropriate language are not acceptable.
Discipline will be in compliance with school and
district policy.
- The right to be respected and
the right to privacy and freedom.
- The right to develop one's own
personality (as long as it does not interfere with the
rights of others).
High Expectations - High Student Achievement
- During this time of your life,
EDUCATION is your career. Coming to school is your job
and your basic job expectations are as follows:
- Bring proper SCHOOL SUPPLIES to
class daily.
- Grades 3-5 use your AGENDA
daily.
- Be prepared and complete all
HOMEWORK assignments.
- Be responsible for LEARNING at
school. Learning is your first responsibility. It is
great to have friends, but you should not socialize
during class time. Socializing interferes with both
learning and the general atmosphere of the classroom.
- Put forth your best EFFORT at
all times.
We
have much to celebrate at NACS Elementary so let's get
started!
Your partner in education,
Ms. Lisa M. Silver, Elementary Principal

Ask your child how
they can win this shiny new bike.
The students at Northern Adirondack
Elementary will have the opportunity to win this shiny
new red bike at the end of the school year. As part of
our "Motivation Through Recognition" Program, students
caught being a good citizen will earn a GOLD SLIP. A
good citizen portrays the desirable character traits of
respect, responsibility, fairness, caring,
trustworthiness, honesty and citizenship.
GOLD SLIPS can be earned for good
citizenship in the halls, classroom, cafeteria, and on
the school bus. Each time students receive a gold slip,
they will be entered into an end of the year drawing for
this shiny new bike. The more GOLD SLIPS earned, the
more chances to win!
