Dear NCA Families,


We wrapped up the final week of term three, and finished it on Friday with KG-first grade Greek Field Day and an early-release for all scholars. Our school community was happy to welcome groups back on to our campus this week! We know that many of our NCA families will be enjoying the upcoming week off together, and Spring Break affords us time to pause and create memories. As we look ahead to the final marking period of this school year, please pay special attention to the many events that are coming up. Below, you will find a few updates for all families.


Re-enrollment for 2026-27: April 15th Deadline

If you have not enrolled your scholar/s for the next academic year, we strongly encourage you to do so, and ensure that you've saved their seat in our classrooms.


-For all returning families, if you re-enroll your scholar/s on/by April 15th, you do not need to complete the New Scholar Application paperwork.

-For all returning families that seek to re-enroll after the April 15th deadline, you must complete a new scholar application.


Therefore, if you plan to keep your child at NCA for the upcoming school year, please complete the re-enrollment process by April 15th and save yourself additional steps to complete toward enrollment.


All Families Re-Enrolled by April 15th: will also be registered to receive a FREE Chick-fil-A Lunch at the NCA End-of-Year Celebration, following the last day of school (on May 22nd, 12:30-2:30 PM.)
