8/18-8/22 Weekly Update

8/18/2025

 
Happy Monday! Thank you for an amazing first week of school! The transition back has been met with so many smiles and optimism. We survived morning carpool in a thunderstorm that dumped buckets of rain, and I learned a valuable lesson that morning, which is to bring an extra change of clothes. I would highly recommend packing your student an extra set of clothes to keep in their bookbag for emergencies and unforeseen circumstances.

Infinite CampusIf you are not receiving information from NCS and are unable to connect to Infinite Campus, please email the front desk at:  [email protected] and include your name, student's name, grade level, and contact information. 

Lower Academy Information Please review the Neuse Charter School Lower Academy Information slides. You will find valuable information to help you and your student navigate a successful year.

greetings from lower academy

3/28/2025

 
I hope this message finds you well. Students have been working hard in the Lower Academy this week! 

We’re excited to let you know that starting Monday, March 31st, students in grades 3-5 will be participating in our Mini Mondays practice sessions to get ready for the End of Grade (EOG) test. These sessions are all about helping students become familiar with the testing environment and reducing any worries they might have about the test.
Each Mini Monday will last for just one hour, 8-9, giving students a chance to practice without feeling overwhelmed. And don’t worry—students who have separate testing settings will not be pulled during these practice sessions since they are just for practice.
Thank you so much for your support as we help our students feel confident and prepared for the big day!

So excited to share with you

3/21/2025

 

We are deeply saddened we had to cancel our Community Night event scheduled for March 5th due to unexpected weather conditions. We understand how much everyone was looking forward to this special evening, and we share in your disappointment.


However, we didn’t want the weather to stop us from sharing the incredible work your students have been doing. To make sure you can still experience their achievements, we’ve put together a virtual presentation showcasing their amazing work! You’ll be able to view it from the comfort of your home at your convenience.


Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We’re incredibly proud of all our students and hope you enjoy seeing their creativity, hard work, and dedication come to life through this virtual experience.


Enjoy!

I hope this message finds you warm, well, and safe! 

Please mark your calendars for the Lower Academy Community Night on March 5th. Families and friends are invited to join us on campus for an evening focused on academic excellence. More details will be shared as we get closer to the date.




The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NC DPI) has created support guides for parents and families. I encourage each of you to review these guides for your student. Take a moment to see how they can be helpful for you and your child. The partnership between home and school is crucial for each student's success. Please let us know how we can assist you and your student.
