This morning, NCMS rewarded 72 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade students for being on grade level in reading or mathematics on their beginning-of-year iReady assessment. Students took this test near the beginning of the school year, which means many have already met their end-of-year goal! We are so proud of our Thunderbirds! Students were rewarded with donuts, juice and social time for their hard work.
NCMS will be iReady testing again next week, Jan. 20th - 24th. We can't wait to see our students' progress and growth towards their goals and celebrate their achievements! #ThunderbirdProud
We had hoped we could safely return to school tomorrow, but the National Weather Service has increased their confidence in the forecast, now indicating a high probability of snow overnight and into the morning, with the heaviest snowfall expected during bus pick-up hours. Many of our side roads still have significant issues, and additional snow will only make conditions worse.
As a result, school will not be in session on Friday, January 10. We will make up this snow day on March 17.
The Thunderbird Learning Center (TLC) will open at 9:00 a.m. However, this may change in the morning depending upon weather conditions.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
This afternoon and evening, our transportation department and I drove nearly every route in the district, hoping we could hold classes tomorrow. Unfortunately, we've determined that school will not be in session on Thursday, January 9. While we found some roads clear, we encountered areas just around the corner where roads were still covered in ice. We did see several state and county plows, but the underlying ice is proving difficult to clear, especially in spots that didn't receive sunlight today. Student and staff safety will always be our highest priority.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this challenging time. I know these disruptions are hard on both our students and working families.
The Thunderbird Learning Center (TLC) will remain open on Thursday, January 9.
We will make up this snow day on Monday, March 3.
There will be no school on Wednesday, January 8. There are still many roads in the district that are completely covered and unsafe. Hopefully, the sun will come out tomorrow and improve the conditions enough for students to return on Thursday.
The TLC (TBird Learning Center) will be open on Wednesday, January 8.
Tomorrow's snow day will be made up on February 24, 2025.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
There will be no school on Tuesday, January 7. Many local roads remain uncleared, and a significant layer of ice lies beneath the snow. Therefore, this will be considered a traditional snow day. We will use Inclement Weather Make-Up Day #2 to make up for this snow day, which will be scheduled for Monday, February 3.
At this time, we are uncertain about the rest of the week’s schedule. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as needed.
TLC will be in session on Tuesday, January 7.
Thank you for trusting us with the well-being of your students. We take this responsibility very seriously.
Please stay warm and safe.

NCR-1 needs bus drivers: full-time, part-time, substitute, or trip drivers are needed. Contact Mr. Tom Tenney - Director of Transportation for more information.
Attendance matters for student learning. Even small habits like arriving on time have a considerable impact—students who miss more score statistically lower in Math and English than students who attend regularly.
NCHS will celebrate Veterans Day when students return to school tomorrow. Veterans, please join us on November 12th at 8:15 am.
