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). 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.
Honor Roll– Once again this year, we will be celebrating the students that achieved honor roll each trimester with a special event. The Breakfast of Champions will take place on Monday, December 17th. Honor roll students will be given a celebratory breakfast in our cafeteria. Students invited to the breakfast are permitted to wear jeans. Jeans Friday is this Friday! For $1.00 your child is permitted to wear jeans along with their Northwood uniform shirt. The proceeds from this event will assist with the supplies needed to complete the service projects. Pajama Day for all students is Friday, December 21st. Please adhere to the following: Sneakers must be worn (no slippers), a shirt and pant or zip up pajama is to be worn (no nightshirts), please make sure the pajama material and any graphics or sayings are appropriate for school. Students performing in the Winter Concert are also permitted to wear their pajamas. There is no fee to participate in this event. Please note that 12/21 will not be a letter day, we will begin on January 3rd with an “A Day”. With holiday breaks on the horizon, it is important to remember those in our community who are experiencing food insecurity. Foodfinder.us is a nonprofit website and app (for iOS or Android) that offers the location and contact information of more than 40,000 food pantries and similar food programs across the country. The FoodFinder website and app can be utilized to pinpoint local free food providers within the community. |
