| Spring Semester Sign Up |
|
Semester starts January 30!
Our tradition at NSA is to automatically re-enroll you for the Spring Semester. If you find that you have conflicts, or wish to change your class schedule, please see our Registrar Vitalina Lopez as soon as you are able. Statements will be going out shortly. Please keep in mind, any family with an outstanding bill for the fall semester will not be permitted to re-enroll for the spring.
Not enrolled yet? Want to enroll now? Great - click here for our on-line registration portal.

| It's Not Too Late To Give |
|
We would like to thank those who have responded to our year-end appeal. To those who have not yet responded, we know it probably is buried under your holiday cards. But don't worry, it's not too late - you'll need that deduction for 2012 too! So please send in your donation. This year the school has been offered a challenge grant from the Victoria Foundation. But to get it, we must first match it. All new gifts, and increased giving above last year's, qualify for the match. You can help us meet the challenge and double the value of your gift. You can click here to give on-line through our secure web portal.
