FALL SPORTS SIGN-UPS: Attention parents of incoming 7th through 12th graders interested in participating in a fall sport here at NAC. It is important that you go to our website and sign your child up for a fall sport at your earliest convenience. It is extremely hard to determine the coaches that will be needed at the different levels in each sport, without knowing how many students will actually be participating. If you can get the sign up completed soon, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, some of you may be recieving notifications/emails from the nurse about required physicals. Please contat Mrs. Gilmore to let her know your intentions for completing the physical. Mrs. Gilmore will have the school doctor on campus August 18th starting at 8:30 am. It is important to also let her know if you intend to get the physical completed here on that day. Thanks for your cooperation and help in this process.

Builders Club held a Hat Day in which $93 was sent to the Elmore SPCA and Key Club members have completed 245 hours of community service in and around our school and community since August of 2022. They also logged 1025 hours walking, running, and/or biking for UNICEF through Charity Miles. Congratulations to all members of these clubs for a wonderful year and best of luck to Key Club's graduating seniors!

Attention Parents of current 6-11 students: Recently a survey was sent out trying to determine which students, (grades 7 - 12 for the 2023-24 school year), are interested in participating in ANY sport during the entire academic year. This survey will hopefully help us better anticipate our coaching needs. It is extremely brief and it would be greatly appreciated if you could click on this quick link and complete it. It should take you less than 3 minutes, start to finish. Please click on the following link to complete the survey: https://forms.gle/fiwSZMUjmjJdBWvUA We have also opened up our portal for Fall sports sign ups. If your child plans on playing a fall sport they are required to register.
