Autism Awareness Month

Welcome to our NCS Autism Awareness Month page!

Keep an eye on this page throughout the month of April as we celebrate together as a school.
This page will include photos of our staff and families as they celebrate, resources and activities around diversity, and Read-Aloud's held by various staff members!

Please note: We do not identify or disclose confidential information regarding diagnosis - we celebrate this month as an entire school (not just within our ASD Program)
