Keeping our classrooms healthy takes a team effort! We know it can be tricky to decide whether to send your student to school when they aren't feeling 100%.

To help with the decision, please refer to this helpful guide from Akron Children’s Hospital.

When should I stay home. It provides all the reasons a student should stay home: running a fever, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, lice, etc.

As I begin my work as Superintendent of N-CCS, I am committed to listening, learning, and gaining a clear understanding of our strengths, needs, and priorities. One of the most important ways I can do that is by hearing directly from the community.

Linked below is a brief, anonymous community survey designed to gather your perspectives and insights. Your feedback will help inform decision-making and guide our work as we move forward together. The survey should take only a few minutes to complete, and all responses will be reviewed thoughtfully.
