The Rebel Crier

Recently we have seen a significant uptick in the number of students who are late to their first period class. On some days, close to 10% of students are late!

Please be sure that if you are dropping students off or they are seniors who drive to school, that enough time is allowed to get to school so that students can be in their classroom by 7:15.

Students must have their school ID if checking in late.

All students enrolled in an AP course are required to have their Parent/Guardian sign and return the AP Contract to Mr. Blecharczyk or the School Counseling Office no later than November 1st. The contract must indicate whether the student plans to take the AP Exam. This step is essential in the registration process.

If you have any questions, please contact your child’s AP Classroom Teacher or Mr. Blecharczyk, the AP Coordinator.

The 2025 Junior Class Trip to Washington, D.C., will occur from Wednesday, March 12th through Friday, March 14th. Throughout these three days the junior class will have an opportunity to have a guided tour of Washington DC. We will explore the monuments throughout the city, lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington Cemetery, visit the U.S. Capitol Building, take a picture in front of the White House, enjoy a show at the Kennedy Center and tour the Smithsonian and Holocaust Museums. The cost of the trip will be $485. This price includes transportation by Coach Bus, lodging at a hotel in Virginia, hot breakfast, dinner (2 nights), venue admission and security guards on duty at the hotel throughout the night. An $85 deposit (checks written out to New Fairfield High School) and the Student Contract are due by October 31st. For any questions, including financial assistance, credit card payment information, and trip insurance, please contact Rich Garofola (garofola.richard@newfairfieldschools.org) or Kate Planz (planz.kathryn@newfairfieldschools.org).

Diplomas for your graduate will appear as First, Middle, Last Name as it appears in PowerSchool.

New Fairfield High School expects all spectators to maintain dignity and stay composed
throughout the duration of all athletic contests.

Competition is meant for the enjoyment of coaches, officials, spectators, and student-athletes.

We encourage you to positively support your team to create an inclusive atmosphere for all!

The student-athletes of the 2024-2025 Class Act Council created the statement below, which will be displayed at NFHS's home venues. Our students recognize that positive fan support is important to their success, and want to be sure that our spectators represent our school as well as they do. As we have exciting late-season contests and playoffs coming for several of our teams, please read and understand the statement our students need us all to adhere to!

Students are invited to get moving in the Wellness Center after school!

Join Mrs. Scappaticci in the Wellness Center on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 2:15-3:45. This is a great way to stay active and get into or stay in shape.

Our 10th and 11th grade students will sit for the PSATs on October 24th. Seniors will participate in our School Counseling department "Rebel Kickstart" program.

You will be able to schedule appointments on Zoom to speak with your child's teachers on October 24 and/or 25th. Afternoon/evening conferences will be on Thursday 10/24, and morning conferences will be on Friday 10/25.
