Northern Adirondack CSD

Thank you to everyone who attended the Easter Egg Hunt. We appreciate your flexibility when the event was moved inside. The eggs were found in record breaking times! Thank you, too, to everyone who supported Builders Club and Key Club's Bottle Drive. We love being able to provide events like this for our community!

Attention Middle School parents: We will be conducting our ELA state testing on Tuesday April 23rd and Wednesday April 24th this year. It is always helpful if your child can get a good nights sleep before these exams. Please remember these exams are not timed, nor do they count for or against your child's average. These exams are merely a tool to assess where our students, as a whole, compare to their cohorts across the state. This year the exams will be computer based. If you are refusing to have your child take this exam, a refusal letter, signed by the parent, must be brought to the Middle School main office no later than 10am on Friday April, 19th. Due to the work to properly prepare for these exams, refusal letters after this date or those sent by email or phoned in, will not be honored. Absences do not constitute a refusal and will need to be made up as the State has now mandated a full month absence window for these exams. Please remember, a refusal letter for ELA does not cover Math or Science. A separate letter will be needed for each exam. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

Good afternoon NAC families! We are very happy to share that our Go Home / Reunification Drill was very successful today. Many thanks to all of our faculty and staff, along with the law enforcement and local fire and emergency who supported us. Extra special thanks to all of the families who had their students participate in today’s drill. It is very important for our district community to practice for unfortunate situations, and today was a success that we will build from in an effort to provide the safest environment we can for our students. On behalf of NAC, please enjoy your Spring Break!

Good morning! The District Campus is now closed, due to the Go Home / Reunification Drill being in Progress.

Good evening NAC families. The Go Home / Reunification Drill will take place tomorrow. Nothing has changed from the previously shared information, however we wanted to remind everyone that those who plan to pick up their children from the Rainbow Wedding and Banquet Hall must show a photo ID, and we ask that you remain patient as we will be sending the students home who are taking a bus first before we open the doors up for student pick ups from the White Room. Thank you for your cooperation.

Good afternoon, Route 6 will be a second run. Please allow up to a 60-minute delay in drop off of your students. We apologize for the inconvenience.

NAC second graders and their families experienced the sweet rewards of learning about maple science today!
