Daily Schedule
DAILY SCHEDULE
Classes begin at 8:20 and 1st through 8th grades are dismissed at 3:00 on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Kindergarten is dismissed at 1:30 (2:00 on Wednesdays, see below) for the first quarter and at 2:00 for the rest of the year.
On Wednesdays, NKCS dismisses at 2:00. This early dismissal allows for staff meetings and in-service programs. This also gives parents time to schedule doctor’s appointments, music lessons, etc. before most other students are out of school. Wednesday is also the day that NKCS sets aside for the all school chapel. The chapel program consists of a teaching time, often from a local pastor; a worship time; and an announcement time. Parents are always welcome to attend chapel. Also, if you know of someone who would be willing to speak in chapel, please let the school know, and we will try to work the person into the schedule.
The playground opens at 7:30 A.M. Please do not send your students to school before 7:30 A.M. as there is no playground supervision before this time.
