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.

Get ready to show off your skating moves! Northwood is happy to bring back Family Skate Night at Rolling Thunder Skating Rink on Thursday, October 25th at 5:00 p.m. The only cost is a $4.00 fee for skate rentals. This is a private event for Northwood families, all students must be accompanied by an adult. This is a fun way to get involved in the Northwood community! Volunteer and Chaperone Information- In order to volunteer in any capacity this year (including chaperoning trips) you must fulfill the directives which are part of the Child Protective Law. The required clearance links are available on the under the “Parent” tab. If you need assistance please contact Mrs. Kelly by calling the main office or emailing her at akelly@northwoodcs.org. It will take time to yield results, so please start this process ASAP. This information will be kept confidential. Clearances submitted within 24 hours of an impending trip will not be processed in time for that individual to chaperone that particular trip. While we encourage everyone to complete clearances, we cannot honor last minute requests. Please note that you may NOT meet your child at a trip location, as this negates the Child Protective Law. |
