As mentioned in my call-out this afternoon, ALL students must have a signed parent/guardian consent form in order to participate in clubs and extracurricular activities on campus.
We have so many exciting opportunities for our Jaguars this school year, and we want to make sure every student has the opportunity to participate! 🎉
Please take a moment to scan the QR code and complete the consent form indicating whether or not you give permission for your student to participate in campus clubs and activities.
Opportunities may include: Music, Theatre, Dance, Pep Squad, Drill Team, Volleyball, Soccer, Basketball, STEM, STEAM, and MORE!
Your response is very important! Without a completed parent/guardian consent form, your student will not be able to participate in these activities.
We are excited to provide our Jaguars with opportunities to discover their talents, build confidence, develop friendships, and get involved beyond the classroom!
Please scan the QR code and submit your consent as soon as possible.
Thank you for helping us make sure our Jaguars can LEARN, LEAD, PARTICIPATE, and SHINE!

In accordance with local policy and in compliance with Durham Student Services operational guidelines, bus drivers may NOT drop off students in 2nd grade or lower without a parent, designated adult or older sibling at the bus stop. We encourage you to download the bus app to track route locations and ensure you are at your stop at the appropriate time.
If you are not at the designated stop, your child will remain on the bus for the duration of the route and the driver will bring your child back to their home campus at the end of the route. If you are not at the school to meet the bus after route completion, the driver will call the police to intervene. This is not a step we want to take but one that will be necessary when no parent or designated adult can pick up the child.
If your child has to be brought back to the school more than twice in a semester, we will view your lateness as a habit and not an incidental occurrence so bus privileges will be suspended.
Should you have any questions, please call your campus principal.
Dear NTxCA Families,
Thank you for helping us make dismissal safe, smooth, and efficient for everyone! 💛
For the safety of all of our students, please do not walk up to the cafeteria doors at dismissal to pick up your student.
All students designated as car riders must be picked up through the established car-rider traffic flow. This allows our staff to safely supervise students, keep traffic moving, and ensure every child is released to the correct adult.
We appreciate your partnership and your help in following our dismissal procedures each day. When we all follow the same process, dismissal is safer and easier for everyone!
Thank you for helping us keep our Jaguars safe! 🐾💛🖤
Safety First! Jaguar Strong!
