Good evening, Eagle Families!
This is Principal McGeachy! We are heading into another busy week, and here are your updates:
· I’ll begin by complementing our scholars on a successful prom event yesterday evening! The 2025 Masquerade Prom was amazing, and our SGA members and faculty advisors are to be commended on a job well done!
· Next, it’s Teacher Appreciation Week, and we will celebrate our phenomenal educators with special activities each day. I invite you to join me by showing appreciation to your scholar’s teachers this week.
· On Wednesday, we’ll observe School Nurse Appreciation Day and celebrate Nurse Mamie Reason.
· Lastly, I have two gentle reminders. First, for those scholars who have been informed about recovering missed instructional time, this is the last week to complete this requirement. Second, Friday, May 9th is a full instructional day.
· As of this recording, all buses are scheduled to run their routes in the morning. Any changes to this status will be communicated by the transportation department.
Thank you, and have a great evening.
Dear Class of 2025 Parents and Scholars,
Please see the attached flyer for important reminders about the upcoming Commencement Exercises in May 2025. Scholars receiving an associate degree and/or certificate have received additional information directly from NCC via email. Please note that NCC will host two ceremonies, and the specific time will be indicated on each ticket.
The flyer includes key dates and reminders. We will also review this information during AVID class, so we encourage you to ask your scholar about what was discussed.
Congratulations to you and your scholar! We are incredibly proud and grateful to have shared this journey with you.
