Dear NAJ families:
We have received several COVID positive reports today in both the elementary and middle school/ high school. You will be contacted if your child is believed to have been in close contact with an infected person. As a result of this news, the health department has recommended us ceasing in person instruction for Friday, March 26, and all of next week. Virtual will begin tomorrow through Thursday, April 1. We do not have school on Good Friday, April 2 through the following week of spring break. Elementary students will have packets sent home to work on, but will not be required to go online to do them. If your elementary child is not currently at school, you may pick up their packets in the tote located outside the elementary main entrance. Middle School and High School students will be able to enter lessons though Google Classroom. The 9th grade orientation for next Wednesday will be rescheduled. We plan on returning after spring break to regular in person instruction. The kindergarten roundup for tonight is still going on as planned. Thank you.

Good Afternoon 8th grade students and parents. On Wednesday March 31st from 6-7 we will be hosting a 9th grade orientation. It will be held in the MS/HS library.
