Please complete an enrollment form for each of your children for the 2018-1019 school year. Complete by April 27 to help us best prepare for next school year.
Yearbooks
Our yearbook staff and advisor have worked hard to produce a 72-page, all-color collection of memories from this school year. If you’d like one (or more), we need your order by Friday, April 13.We anticipate that a soft cover will cost K100 and a hard cover will cost K120. NTM families can be charged. Others will need to pay in cash. (The cost may go down if we are able to secure a bulk discount.) The yearbooks should be here for Awards Night on May 26. We will have a final price at that time and we will collect cash payments then. If you would like a yearbook, email the High school secretary at . Include the number and type (hard or soft cover) in your email. We need your order by Friday (that’s tomorrow) afternoon!
T-Shirts
Large and X-Large NCA PE shirts are only $6. They are gray with printed blue letters “Numonohi”. If you would like to purchase some (limit of 50), please email the Highschool secretary at or come to the HS office.

Course Selection Forms
Course selection forms will be handed out to Grade 6-11 students early next week. We hope to provide you with the most accurate information about what classes will be offered at NCA next school year. All students who are enrolling in high school next year should turn in their course selection forms by Wednesday, May 2. If you have questions about how to fill these out, please contact Robyn Green at .
Students going on home assignment during the 2018-2019 school year will get a Course Recommendation form early next week. Many courses and grade levels are operating A and B years, and we want to make sure you take the correct courses to stay on track with your class. Remember that if you are planning on home schooling senior high school (grades 9-12) courses while on furlough you will need to work with an agency that will issue credit on a transcript. A Beka, Hewitt High School, NorthStar, Keystone, and NDCDE are all agencies that have been used in the past. More information is available at the high school office.
