Welcome Back to School!

The faculty and staff of the Naples Central School District have been hard at work over the summer months making sure we are well prepared for the start of the 2018-2019 school year.

Newest “Graduate of Distinction”
Dear NCS Family:
Four years ago, the Naples Central School District established a “Graduates of Distinction” program in order to honor the outstanding accomplishments of NCS graduates. This year, we are pleased to announce that Jedd Habersto (Class of 2010) will be inducted as the newest member of the group.
However, because Jedd now resides in Silicon Valley where he works on Apple’s international team of software and hardware engineers, he could not make it home for the induction. Instead, Jedd has recorded a short acceptance video that we will be sharing with current and future NCS students.
If you have a few spare minutes, I would invite you to watch the video (click HERE ) that Jedd put together. Jedd has a unique story, and his words remind us that ...

Resources Regarding “13 Reasons Why”
NCS Parents and Guardians:
A year ago, I wrote to you after the series “13 Reasons Why” was released by Netflix. Because many believed that the show sensationalized mature subject matter involving suicide and depression, mental health professionals across the country expressed concern about the impact the content could have on impressionable children and adults.
Because the second season of the series airs this Friday (May 18), I wanted to pass along the following resources you might consider using if you choose to start a dialogue with your son or daughter about the show:
Click HERE to read an article titled, “How to Prepare for ’13 Reasons Why’ Season 2.” The resource outlines how to use a unique code to restrict the programs ...

Message Regarding NCS Memorial Trees
Dear Naples School Community:
This past year, the Naples school community approved a capital project to construct a new bus loop in front of the Elementary School. Because the wellbeing of students is always at the forefront of decision-making, a special focus was placed on designing a much safer pick-up and drop-off area. However, although the architects did their very best to honor the existing bus loop footprint, it quickly became apparent that it was simply not possible to make the area safer without removing a number of trees in order to modify the design of the space.
While the trees have helped the school property to shine aesthetically, many of them have also served as memorials to special NCS students and staff members who have passed away over the years. Because NCS ...
