Students, it is your responsibility to make sure your locker has shut completely. Many backpacks are causing it to not shut completely. You may need to reshuffle your items to make it fit. Please make sure that it shuts before walking away from your locker. Thank you,

• Most students use our website to access the home portal:

  •  – go to https://nafcs.k12.in.us

  • – click on the blue tile that says PowerSchool Portal

  • – login to the portal

• Central Office is working on getting this setup for all of our parents/guardians.  Look for more information next Friday, August 26th with instructions for our parents.  Just a reminder – if a parent already had access from last school year, they are able to get in the portal right now.  They do not have to wait for next Friday.  They currently are working on getting NEW parent/guardian accounts set up which would include all of our grade 5 (unless it was already set up due to an older sibling) as well as any student new to the district. Thank you for your patience.
