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

Report Card Conferences are scheduled for December 13th and 14th (both noon dismissal days). A letter with appointment times was sent home last week. If you did not schedule your conference time, please do so asap with your child’s teacher. As we believe in our partnership, all report cards must be picked up in person. While you are here for conferences, please stop by the Scholastic Book Fair, located in the music room downstairs (room 151). The Book Fair runs from 12/11-12/14, including evening hours on 12/13. During report card conferences, please stop by the main staircase for free school supplies and schoolbags (while supplies last). These items were generously donated to Northwood by a local family. Due to a lack of donations there will not be a Coat Drive this year.
The Cherrydale Limo Ride and Buffet Trip is scheduled for Thursday, December 6th at 11:00 a.m. This trip is for the top sellers in grades K-8. A trip slip was sent home last week to the top sellers. A trip slip MUST be returned to Mrs. Hewins to attend. Picture Retakes– If your child(ren) missed picture day, they will have an opportunity to have their picture taken on Tuesday, December 11th at 9 a.m. Please remember all students must wear their Northwood uniform (polo shirt) for this session. A Lifetouch Update: We are aware of the lighting issue on the class pictures. They are being touched up and adjusted. The adjusted photos will be distributed once they come in. Thank you in advance for your patience. Prospective Families Tour– Tell your friends, our annual tour for prospective families will be held on Wednesday, December 12th at 8:15 a.m. This tour will give them insight into student life at Northwood Academy. Those interested in attending please email Amy Kelly at akelly@northwoodcs.org. |
