Communications

Welcome to Northwest Allen County Schools!

How we communicate:

We believe in open communication and collaboration between parents, students, and staff. Here, you'll find information to keep you connected and engaged in your child's education.

Staying Informed:

  • ParentSquare: Our primary platform for school announcements, classroom updates, and important district information. Be sure to sign up for your school's ParentSquare account and download the app from your app store to stay in the loop!
  • NACS Email: We also utilize NACS email for official school and district communications. Please ensure your contact information is up-to-date with your child's school.
  • Canvas: This learning management system is used by many of our teachers to share class materials, assignments, and grades.
  • NACS Social Media: Our district has accounts on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIN where we share photos from classroom activites, celebrate student and staff achievements, and share important information.

Our Strategic Plan:

This plan will be a living document to help us achieve our vision of a strong community where all can belong, grow, connect, and lead. We will adjust as needed and provide updates as we progress through implementation to ensure our work continues to reflect the diverse needs of our students, families, staff, and community. This plan focuses are four areas:

Personalized Learning  Experiences
We believe that when students’ educational experiences are tailored to their individual needs and unique interests, they are set up for success in life after graduation.

Student And Staff Wellness
We believe that supporting the whole child is essential to a student’s growth and success in the classroom. When the physical, mental, and emotional health needs of students and staff are met, the learning environment is safer and more effective.

Trust And Transparency
We believe that intentional, clear, and consistent communication is essential to building trust amongst  our students, teachers, administrators, families, and community members.

Community And Belonging
We believe that every member of Northwest Allen County Schools is a valuable member of this community. Unique experiences and perspectives make us stronger, and by facilitating the process of building a sense of community belonging, we are creating a safe and effective learning environment.

Media & Public Record Requests

  • All media requests must be made through our district office. This includes interviews, request for statements, and on-site visits.

  • Indiana’s Access to Public Records Act (“APRA”), Indiana Code §5-14-3-1 et seq., provides the framework for requesting information from a governmental agency. Moreover, APRA states that, “it is the public policy of the state that all persons are entitled to full and complete information regarding the affairs of government and the official acts of those who represent them as public officials and employees.” (Indiana Code §5-14-3-1) However, some public records may not be disclosed under various circumstances, or may be disclosed at the discretion of the agency.

    To make a public records request, please email your request to Kristen.Valdez@nacs.k12.in.us or you may drop off the written request at our district office.

    Please note – this type of request is not for student academic records. Please contact your child’s school for this information.
