Testing coming up after Spring Break!!!
On Monday, April 19th - 23rd, all K5 students will take the ITBS standardized test (Iowa Test of Basic Skills). Testing will continue each morning. We want your child’s testing experience to be positive and successful. Please remember the following tips:
- Arrive no later than 8:00 am. Testing will begin promptly, and students who are late will not be allowed to enter the classroom if testing has begun.
- Make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep before testing.
- Provide a healthy breakfast.
- Send a healthy snack. No sweets, please.
- Gently encourage your child to do his/her best.
*There will be no Homework Sheet during the week of testing.
Please note: We will have a practice test on Friday, April 16th. This will help students understand how the test is administered and give them opportunities to practice. It is important that your child be in attendance that day in order to be prepared.
Bring your smile to school on Tuesday, April 13 because Karen Rainwater Photography will be offering professional Cap & Gown portraits. A link was sent home last week to order your Graduation packet! All orders need to be placed by Monday, April 12th.
Preferred dress:
Boys - long pants, an oxford shirt and tie. Any oxford shirt is fine. It does not need to be an NCCS oxford. If your son does not have an oxford shirt or tie, we have extra ones available to use for the picture.
Girls - NCCS jumper, skirt or skort. While your daughter's hair looks very cute with ponytails, braids and large bows, we ask that you not use these for the pictures. Large hair accessories make it very difficult to fit the cap properly on her head.
POPS IN THE PARK
The NCCS Lower School is pleased to present an ALL-NEW spring concert: Pops in the Park! This outdoor spring choral event will feature singing by ALL of our Lower School students!
K3 - K5 will present A Barnyard Moosical, while our 1st - 4th graders will perform ‘POP’ular movie songs like You Got a Friend in Me from Toy Story! Plus, Joyful Voices will be singing two special songs, as well.
This event will replace the traditional indoor Preschool Program and LS Spring Program.
