The NCTS Relay for Life is Saving Lives One Dime at a Time!

Let's start 2012 off with an awesome New Year's Resolution....Better our environment and our school by recycling!!

Drop off all of your recycling at the Center in Covington and all of the money will be sent back to our school quarterly!!

Directions from the school: Take Williams Street down the hill and a right on Elm Street. Cross 278 and turn right on Turner Street (right past the railroad overpass). Take a right into the center and around to left to drop off. Be sure to write the info they give you once they weigh it into the NCTS page of the book:)

They take the following items: aluminum, white paper, mixed paper, tin, cardboard(boxes of all of your boxed crackers, cookies and mixes as well), newspaper and glass. Let's turn our TRASH into CASH for our school!!

The office has been receiving many transportation changes over the phone. Our policy is that all changes must be made in writing, in the agenda, the day the change will take place.

Although it is stated in our agenda that transportation changes may be sent via fax, our new fax system is not properly working. Therefore, to ensure that everyone is notified of transportation changes, please submit a written note in the agenda. Teachers have very limited access to email during instruction time. This policy is intended to help your student transition from school to home safely. Again, all transportation changes must be made in writing. Thank you for your attention in this matter.
