InTouch With Our NCS Family

Last Chance to help us Collect for Shoeboxes for Soldiers!

Northpoint Will Partner with Baptist Memorial Hospital-Desoto, the MS Army National Guard and Mid-South Project Package Again to Collect and Ship Items to Soldiers Deployed Around the World. Help us Collect and Support our Soldiers!

Last year, area students collected approximately 4,300 shoeboxes that shipped to soldiers from North Mississippi. Baptist Desoto gives a cash grant donation to the top three schools that collect the most shoeboxes for soldiers. Northpoint won $500 last year.

We will collect school-wide through October 21.
Collection boxes are in the main lobbies. Families of students of all ages are encouraged to help us collect. The attached flyer shows items accepted for soldiers. (Personal hygiene items and non-perishable foods including protein items are most popular.)

Attendance for Football Game on October 30

MS Governor Tate Reeves lifted a mandate and executive order on crowds limited to 25% on 9/30. However, Northpoint plays sports in the TSSAA and must follow the rules of the TSSAA. This means the crowd size will be lifted to a max capacity of 33%. This will increase the number of people allowed into our last homecoming event. However, masks must be worn, temperatures checked on entrance and social distancing is encouraged.
(Above is a copy of the requirements set by the TSSAA.)

We will have more participants allowed into the game, but will still not be at our normal maximum capacity crowd. Tickets are $5 for adults.
SIGN UP FOR TEXT MESSAGES

NCS offers a texting program to receive texts for important information. This is also where we inform school dismissal for inclement weather, early dismissals, or school-wide reminders if something major is happening.

TSSAA REQUIRES ATHLETES and SPECTATORS TO ANSWER QUESTIONS WEEKLY

Students playing JV and Varsity sports are asked to answer the above COVID symptom screening questions.

If a student answers yes, to any of the questions they should see a medical provider.
Procedure for Student Exposure or Testing Positive for COVID-19:

The parent should call the school and ask to speak with our school nurse, Mitzi Phillips.
 
The school nurse will talk with the parent (working with the Health department and administration) through the above chart to determine how long the student should be out.  

The student's identity will be kept confidential.

The school will do contact tracing and notify other students/teacher of an exposure. Exposure is defined as within 6 feet for greater than 15 minutes.  

If quarantine is recommended the nurse will work with the family on their return to school.
The student(s) will remotely learn while in quarantine. The family will arrange pick up of needed items from school.
