Every family will be assigned a carline tag that will be distributed at the Open House on July 31. NCA-issued carline tags MUST be visible when you enter the carline for pick-up. Students will not be released to an adult who does not have the appropriate carline tag. If carpooling with other families, the driver must display a carline tag for each family. For the safety of our students, photocopies or pictures will not be accepted. The original carline tag printed by NCA must be displayed.

More info to come.

Families may use these instructions to set up an account with Chef Advantage, view menus, and begin ordering lunches. Our school code is NCA44. Only new NCA families will need to create an account this year; returning families will need to use the same account as last year.  When ordering lunches for the first few days of school, choose any teacher assignment and then edit the teacher choice in your profile after teacher assignments are given at Open House. Families may order for as many or as few days as they prefer. 

FAST FACTS ABOUT LUNCH AT NCA

ASP Registration is OPEN!

NCA manages its own after-school program which will allow the instruction in virtue and character that our students receive during the school day to continue seamlessly into the hours after school. Please see the NCA After School Care webpage for more information and registration details.

Infinite Campus is currently transitioning from the 2023-2024 to the 2024-2025 school year. During this time there are many changes happening behind the scenes. To avoid confusion, Infinite Campus access is limited now through July 31 for all families. New families will recieve information on accessing student schedules, grades, attendance records, and more at a later time. Stay tuned!

NCA will continue to use ParentSquare for the 2024-2025 school year for school-wide communications, teacher newsletters, and announcements for student and parent groups including volunteer opportunities through the PVA “Level 2” group. ParentSquare will also continue to house our community directory. For returning families, please take a few minutes to update your photo and your settings for the current year. Please remember that you must change your contact information to "visible" in order to be included in the directory.

New families, you have received an email inviting you to join ParentSquare. ParentSquare has a website that is best for some features and a phone app that puts communications at your fingertips. Please take the time to learn how to navigate both the website and the phone app.

While ParentSquare is a wonderful tool for mass communications and one-way announcements, we ask that you contact teachers through their NCA email accounts rather than the Direct Message feature in ParentSquare. Feel free to continue to utilize direct messages for parent-to-parent communications.

Please download the ParentSquare App HERE to ensure you do not miss important information from your child’s teacher or from NCA. 

Visit these FAQs for questions about setting up your account.

Level 2 Training
Each year, every parent volunteer must be cleared as a “Level 2” volunteer in order to volunteer in any capacity at NCA. Level 2 status from last school year will not carry forward. The process will take 15-20 min and involves watching two videos and filling out a Google form about what you learned. 

Level 2 training is currently undergoing some changes and will be available before the start of school.

Volunteer Opportunities Before School

As we approach the start of school, there are several ways to get involved. Please take a look at the Back to School volunteer opportunities. Students are welcome to volunteer alongside a parent or guardian.
