Attention Sports Parents: NYSPHSAA approved a new policy for spectator sportsmanship. This policy requires all schools and sections to formally follow through with any issues that arise with spectators. Section VII has formally adopted the Spectator Sportsmanship policy which can be viewed at the following link: https://5il.co/23joq Please review this policy if you plan on attending any sporting event. Poor sportsmanship by any spectator may result in the removal from the contest with the minimum requirement of a one game suspension(the next game) and they must also take 2 free NFHS courses, and submit the completion forms to their AD before they are allowed to attend another game in person.

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.

K-Kids, Builders Club, and Key Club are wrapping up a fun-filled year of community service! Recently the clubs coordinated efforts with a Coin Collection for Courageous Cali, a toddler in the Saranac area who was diagnosed with the Powassan Virus after being bitten by a tick. The collection brought in $552.37! 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. Please click on the following link to register your student for a Fall sport: https://northernadirondackcs-ar.rschooltoday.com/viewmyaccount Please note that sports registration is seperate from the brief survey and both need to be completed for fall sports participants.
