Iowa Assessment Tests
This week students in Kindergarten through eighth grade have taken the Iowa Assessments and first and sixth grades are taking the Cognitive Abilities Test as well. There is a $25 testing fee for each student, grades K-8th. Please bring this payment to the school office by the end of April.
The school will receive test scores soon after tests have been sent to the scoring center. These scores will indicate how your student performed on the tests compared with students across the nation in the same grade. They also allow teachers to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the class as a whole. Test results will be distributed to parents after they are received. |

NBCS Families, as a friendly reminder, the ACE scholarship application is open for the 2025-26 school year. The deadline for this application is April 15th. There is a fee associated with this application process. Please click here to learn more about this opportunity for the upcoming school year.
This scholarship is not awarded by NBCS. It seems to be granted largely based on income level. Very few of our families have been awarded this scholarship in the past, but this could vary from year to year.
