Before the school year begins, NCCS hosts a special event called Meet the Teacher, during which students can come in and walk through their schedules. At this time, they are able to meet their teachers, find their lockers, and walk the route to each class. Parents are welcome to attend, as well! In addition, each new Middle and Upper School student has the option to have a buddy (a current NCCS student) to help them through their first day of school.
