Hello NAC Families!
Writing is an important part of your child's learning journey in elementary school. From drawing and labeling pictures to creating stories and sharing ideas, children develop writing skills step by step. These skills help them communicate clearly, think deeply, and build confidence in themselves as learners.
Families play a key role in supporting young writers. With encouragement, practice, and positive feedback at home, children can grow into confident and capable writers. This flyer will share why writing matters and resources so you can help support your child's writing at home.

1,500 eggs were collected in record time on Saturday during Builders and Key Club's Easter Egg Hunt. Due to the cold weather temperatures, we were fortunate to be able to move it inside. The middle school gym, high school gym, and cafeteria were the ideal spots for the different age groups to fill their Easter baskets. Thank you to everyone who came out!
Dear NAC Families,
During the month of April, we will be learning about Habit #7: Sharpen the Saw. This habit is about finding the right balance, learning new things, and becoming the best version of yourself. Here are the main points that you can discuss with your child:
● I exercise, eat healthy foods, and get enough sleep.
● I manage my time between school, extracurricular activities, family, and friends.
● I am always learning ways to become a better person.

Hello NAC Families,
This month's Parent Tip is focused on oral language and vocabulary. Oral language and vocabulary are important parts of a child’s learning and development. Children build these skills by listening, talking, asking questions, and interacting with the people around them every day. A strong vocabulary helps children express their ideas, understand others, and succeed in reading and writing. Families play a big role in supporting language growth through simple activities like talking during daily routines, reading together, asking questions, and encouraging conversations. Every word and interaction helps children learn and grow. Please see the attached flyer to learn more!
