A parent observer account allows you to view your child's progress, assignments and other information.

Students in grades K-12 are issued a district device. We encourage all families to consider device insurance to minimize risk. Insurance may be purchased on MyPaymentsPlus until September 16 (September 10 for extended calendar schools).

The federal waiver and funding that allowed us to provide free meals for all students ended on May 27, 2022. NKC Schools is no longer able to offer free meals for all. If you believe that you might qualify for free or reduced meals, fill out an application online as soon as possible. More information is available here.
