If so, please call our School Support Team so you can provide an updated address and proof of residency. Also, please note that all students must reside in the state of Nevada. If you are temporarily living out of state, please contact me so I can provide you with the appropriate form needed to submit for approval. Transfer Grades - If you just recently enrolled, WELCOME! We are so happy to have you here. In order to make this transition as smooth as possible, we are asking that you provide your most recent academic records, if you haven’t already done so.

If you are enrolled in courses at Pearson Online Academy you may notice that these classes are missing from your progress report. If you would like a progress report for these courses, please webmail me and I will get one published for you. Progress reports are a great way to keep track of how you're doing and should give you an idea of what needs to be done in order to finish out the semester strong. Progress reports grades are not included on your transcripts. If you're currently struggling in one (or more of your courses), you have until the end of the 2nd Quarter to bring those grades up. Don't procrastinate though, it will fly by just like the 1st Quarter did. Attendance- Attendance is a vital component of our school and must be consistently recorded.

Have a fantastic week! Hello NCA Bears! Welcome to the 2nd Quarter! I hope you all enjoyed your weekend and took time to rest and prepare yourself for the week ahead. As we move in the second half of the semester, I encourage you to take a minute to reflect on the first half. Did you stick to those goals you set for yourself at the beginning of the year? Did you stay on track and perform the way you wanted to? If so, way to go! Continue to keep your eye on your goals and push yourself to achieve what you set out to do. If not and you’ve fallen behind, don’t worry! There’s still plenty of time to adjust your routine so you can be successful this semester. The first step to accomplishing any goal, is to believe in yourself. If you don’t believe you can, you won’t. Life is tough and schoolwork can be quite challenging but continue to tell yourself that you are capable. If you need that extra push along the way, we are here for you!
