Hello NCA Bears! Congratulations on reaching the week before Spring Break! Let's take a moment for some virtual cheers. �� Even though we're a virtual school, you still get to enjoy Spring Break! Please mark your calendars: Spring Break runs from March 25th to April 1st. Plan to return refreshed and ready to dive back in on Tuesday, April 2nd. If you're considering using this break to catch up, that's a smart move and one we wholeheartedly support, especially if you're feeling a bit behind. Remember, Pearson Online Classroom is at your service 24/7, ensuring you have uninterrupted access to all your courses. However, please bear in mind that your teachers will be taking a well-deserved break too, just like you! This means calls, webmails, and assignments won't be reviewed until we're all back in action on April 2nd. On another note, upon your return, you might notice your account in an alarm or approaching alarm state. Our system isn't programmed to recognize breaks, so it'll continue tracking progress. Don’t worry though! We'll address any issues promptly once Spring Break concludes. Enjoy your well-deserved break, and we'll see you back soon, recharged and ready to tackle the rest of the semester! �� NCA Prom- We’ll be holding TWO proms this year, one in Northern Nevada and one in Southern Nevada. All grade levels are invited to attend. You are also welcome to bring one guest with you, however, your guest must currently be in high school. If you plan to attend with a guest, you and your guest must complete the necessary documentation which will be provided to you before the end of the week. Sign-ups will also be open by the end of the week. Attendance - Attendance is a vital component of our school and must be consistently recorded. Attendance runs from Saturday to Friday and will be collected through this form each week. This DOES NOT mean you should wait until Friday to fill out your attendance form.

Hello NCA Bears! Did you know that today marks the beginning of the 4th Quarter, signaling just 9 weeks left in the 2023-2024 School Year?! If you find yourself falling behind or facing challenges in any of your classes, don't hesitate to reach out. Remember, it's never too late to ask for help and turn things around! March also marks Women's History Month, a time to honor the remarkable contributions of women throughout history. Let's take a moment to celebrate the strides women have made over the past decade: 1. Women now comprise 47% of the U.S. labor force, a significant increase from 30% in 1950. 2. Rising wages for women have played a crucial role in narrowing the gender pay gap. 3. Women have made remarkable progress in educational attainment, breaking barriers and excelling in various fields. 4. The role of women as primary breadwinners in families has seen a dramatic rise, highlighting their growing influence in society. 5. As of July 1, 2022, there were 165.28 million males and 168 million females living in the United States. These achievements are monumental and reflect the ongoing journey towards gender equality. Let's continue to celebrate the resilience, achievements, and contributions of women, and look forward to even greater progress in the years to come.
