Welcome to the 2023-24 school year! We strongly recommend that students follow a color-code system to organize their classroom notebooks, folders, and binders. We will be working with students the first week of school to get this system in place.
If you experience any issues in obtaining supplies, please contact SMSCounseling@nccsk12.org. We acknowledge that there are some challenges that families are facing during this uncertain time; if you would like to donate any additional items or used calculators please feel free to bring them to the middle school’s main office between the hours of 8 am and 3 pm any weekday.
