The Northwood Academy Charter School (NACS) began operation in September of 2005. We are a K-8 program with a well-developed academic program that emphasizes comprehensive literacy and mathematical instruction in accordance with federal and local standards. Our instructional program is driven by state, local and commercial assessment results, school achievement and adherence with IEP requirements. Our mission is to prepare our children to take advantage of the wealth of educational opportunities that exist for them. To that end, Northwood has hired a dedicated, skilled instructional staff to guide them in the process. Every staff member is charged with the care and well-being of every child. We believe that all children are able to achieve regardless of their socio-economic status, race, ability level or past academic experience. By respecting and supporting our students, their families and our staff on a regular basis, we honor and uphold this belief.
Important Dates to Remember

Book Fair– The Scholastic Book Fair will run from Dec. 17-19th. Each class will come to the Book Fair during their scheduled time. Parents can come to the Book Fair when they are here for report card conferences, as there will be evening hours on Dec. 19th. Volunteers are still needed for this event. Please email Mrs. Kelly at akelly@northwoodcs.org if you can help.
If you have not scheduled your Report Card Conference appointment please do so asap. Report cards must be picked up as it is essential that we continue discussions and a partnership for your child’s success. While you are here for conferences come check out our free overstocked, gently used uniforms that will be available at the main staircase landing. As part of our reciprocal partnership with our Northwood families, it is important that families come forward to volunteer. Events such as the Holiday Shop, Book Fair, Teacher Appreciation Week and grade specific celebrations have been led solely by volunteers in the past. The list of upcoming events can be emailed to you so that you can sign up. Please email Mrs. Kelly at akelly@northwoodcs.org for this list. Honor Roll– Our “Breakfast of Champions” is for those students that achieved honor roll for this first marking period. This celebration will take place on Tuesday, December 17th at 8:15 a.m. Students will be sent an invitation to attend this special event. WE NEED YOUR HELP! Northwood will be hosting a Career Fair this Winter and we need parents, friends, alumni and family members to engage our students in discussions and presentations on their career. Equally as important is the discussion about how life paths change and how you may have landed in your current job. The best way for our students to learn about their future career options is from our community. Interested in helping? Please email Mrs. Kelly at akelly@northwoodcs.org. Thank you to those that have already offered to help, more details on the way soon! |
