Good Morning, I hope you are all well. I would like to ask that people please slow down and be more cautious with their driving on school grounds. The posted speed limit is 5mph. We have had a few car accidents already. This safety needs to be observed during school hours and durning off hours including weekends. I appreciate your attention to this and understanding the safety concern. I hope you all have a great day. Eric Hartz NCSD Superintendent
