Monday Memo Change

In an effort to streamline information and continue our clear communication at NCA, we are excited to announce that grades 7-12 teachers will now be uploading class assignments, homework, and upcoming tests onto PowerSchool by Monday each week. By logging into your student's PowerSchool portal, you will be able to see all upcoming assignments, descriptions, and due dates. This will replace our Monday Memos from this week moving forward. Please contact Anne Wendling at wendlinga@northcentralacademy.net if you need your login for PowerSchool or if you have any questions.
