Coach Fargo Celebrates 50 Years!
The NWSD took a moment at last Monday’s board meeting to recognize Coach Sue Fargo for her 50 years of service in our athletic department. Please take a few minutes to view this wonderful tribute to her. She has inspired so many Wildcats over the years, a simple thank you does not seem adequate for her impact and involvement in our sports programs.

Wildcat Families,
Given the new CDC guidelines that state the following: "The CDC is exercising its enforcement discretion to not require that people wear masks on buses or vans operated by public or private school systems, in communities with low and medium transmission, The NWSD will make mask-wearing on district transportation OPTIONAL, beginning on Monday, February 28th. We will continue with this plan as long as Erie County remains in medium transmission.
Sincerely,
John Hansen, Superintendent NWSD
