Greetings NCA Families,
We hope that you all enjoyed the Thanksgiving break! This week, our girls middle school basketball team extended their unbeaten streak to 3-0 this season; congratulations to our lady Patriots!
We thank you for supporting the NCA Book Fair, and please remember that the fair ends on Tuesday, December 9th. We hope that if you’ve not yet had your scholar purchase their wish list items, that you do so before Tuesday’s close.
Prior to our upcoming winter break in just a few weeks, there are several important announcements for all families:
We are aware of the CBS News report that was aired this week. In that piece it showed images and information about NCA in relation to Optima Education. Please note: Naples Classical Academy is no longer utilizing Optima as our charter management company. Our school is managed solely by our school board and the head of school. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.
Founder’s Day Event – Tuesday, December 9th, 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM
- Please see the Founder’s Day information, noted below, and we hope that you can attend our 5th year event and family picnic.
- Important Note: scholars will not be released early from their classes following the event, and we ask that you please plan accordingly. Thank you.
NCA Christmas Concert – Saturday, December 13th, 4:00 PM, at Barron Collier High School
- We are excited to hear our 3rd – 12th grade scholars perform the songs they have been working on in their music classes over the last several months.
- Parents: please ensure that your scholar is properly dressed for this event, using the approved dress guidelines, noted further below in the newsletter. Also, please note the arrival time for your child(ren.)

Parent Volunteers on December 19th
- We appreciate ALL of our parent volunteers! All parents must be on the approved volunteer list to come and help within the classrooms. If you have not completed the annual volunteer process, you must do so in advance. If you were an approved volunteer during a previous year, you must still reapply for the current school year at https://naplesclassical.org/become-a-volunteer/
- Arrival Time: 11:00 AM
- Scholar/Volunteer Dismissal: 12:00 PM
- Due to the abundance of volunteers, and to help with the number of parents on-campus, we are limiting the number of parent volunteers per classroom to two adults.
- Please see the teacher newsletters on how to register to volunteer this year, or contact your scholar’s teacher.
- We understand that this is change from previous years, and this is to help with the volume of adults in the hallways/classes/main office.
- If you are unable to volunteer at/for this event, we hope to see you at Founder’s Day, or at one of the four Poetry & Prose events.
We thank you for being part of our school community, and we look forward to our two great weeks prior to the winter break.
Sincerely,
Mr. Wester
Head of School
