VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! The NCA Family Mentor Program is looking for volunteers for the 2021-2022 school year. The goal of the Family Mentor Program is to help welcome new families and help them feel part of the community as soon as possible. Earn 5 hours of volunteer time for next year by emailing new NCA families to answer questions and make them feel welcome. Ideally, this is a good volunteer opportunity for families with young children since most of the new families will be entering Pre-K. You will be assigned two families to mentor for the school year. Please contact Mara Brecht at marabrecht@gmail.com to sign-up or for further details. Thank you!

Preschool, Junior Kindergarten & Kindergarten End of Year Celebration.
Due to Covid restrictions, and our continued desire to keep our cohorts safe and separate, we have decided the Playdate at the Park does not adhere to our guidelines for safety. While we cannot continue with the playdate this year, we most definitely want to celebrate our students and have time for our good-byes and pictures.
On our last day of school, we will gather for early dismissal at 2:15 pm. This will allow us to have the time and space to say our goodbyes and have teacher photos if you’d like to take some. Each preschool and kindergarten classroom will have a specified location on campus to meet your class. (location TBD)
· Thursday, June 3rd
· 2:15 pm Dismissal**
· Time will be allowed for teachers to pass out the end of year gifts, families to take pictures if they’d like, and to say good-bye
· 2:45 pm end time
-This is to accommodate space on campus for our regular pick-up time.
We hope you can join us after our early dismissal with plenty of time to celebrate our classes!
**ECP will be available, at the regular time, for those who are unable to make our last day of school festivities. Please let your homeroom teacher know so we can plan accordingly.
