Re-Enrollment and Financial Aid Applications for 2020-21
Open enrollment for new families has started. Our office is very busy with enrollment, classes are filling up, and we anticipate several grades having wait lists. We want to see our current families here next year, and receive financial aid should they need it. If you need assistance or have questions, we encourage you to meet with administration. Please call or email (mckenzie_falotico@ncchristianschool.com) our office to schedule a meeting, as we are happy to help you.
Facilities and Campus Improvement
In light of this need, we have put together a Facilities and Campus Improvement Committee. The committee seeks to work in partnership with those in our Society with skills/resources in these areas of trades, materials, and business: siding, roofing, plumbing, electrical, paint (interior and exterior), windows, lighting, fencing, architecture, HVAC, landscaping, paving, custodial, and general contractor-commercial or residential.
Please reach out to emily_clark@ncchristianschool.com if you are able to help in any of these areas.
Keeping Everyone Well!
Please call or email the office when your child will be absent or coming in late/tardy (after 8:15 am). Be aware that when a student is tardy, a parent must sign them in at the office.

TV Show Filming
We have taken a great deal of time to prepare for this activity. There will be security on campus during production. Multiple areas in the school will be blocked off to separate the students from the production. Parking and traffic may be impacted on Friday, Feb. 21, but measures are being taken to reduce this factor as much as possible. We will communicate with parents, students, and staff with updates related to this activity.
Annual Auction UPDATE
Prepare to relive the 80's at the annual auction on May 2, 2020! Join us for a fun night in support of NCCS.
- Ticket sales begin Tuesday, February 4th, on the auction web page.
- Follow updates for this event on the special Facebook page.
- Donations Needed: The Auction Committee is asking for you to consider, "Who do you know who can work with us to make our event successful?" We are asking for donations of vacation rentals (Mexico, Hawaii, Sun River, Oregon Coast, ....) and experiences (guided fishing trip, hot air balloon ride, in-home chef, collegiate and professional sporting event...) to offer at the auction. Can you, or someone you know, provide these type of items? Maybe you have a skill to share that someone else would bid on?
ATTENTION: Here are the Sign Up Genius links to the auction class basket project. Everyone can help and contribute something from the lists of items needed. We appreciate your donations and help in making these baskets come together by the end of February!
Kindergarten - 1st - 2nd - 3rd - 4th - 5th - 6th - 7th-8th - 9th-10th - 11th-12th
If you have questions, are wanting to make a donation, or would like to work with the auction team, please contact Susan Van Sickle at joyfilled99@gmail.com. Attached below are donation and sponsor forms for those wish to partner with us in this way
