Bus Passes- Advance Notice Required
In order to change buses, parents/guardians must call or email Ms. Nuremberg in the main office. Handwritten notes will not be accepted.
No bus passes will be generated after 1:30pm, so please be sure to contact Ms. Nuremberg prior to that time. If students do not have a bus pass from the office, they will need to take their own bus home.

Students who refuse to provide their ID or give false information to staff are subject to consequences under the Code of Responsibility and Respect.

Thirty-two new members were inducted into the NFHS chapter of National Honor Society.
Members must not only be high-performing scholars, but also demonstrate leadership, character, and service to be selected for membership in this national organization. Congratulations to the inductees!
Chamber Singers Collaboration
On Tuesday October 29, students in Mr. Gadwah’s Chamber Singers ensemble were invited to participate in a workshop with Paul Smith, founder of the world-renowned professional choir Voces8. Our students attended the workshop along with students from Greenwich, Wilton, and Staples High School. In March, these students will perform in concert together along with Voces8!
See some photos and the video below!
World Language Honor Societies Induction
On Tuesday, October 29, 2024, students were inducted in the French, Italian, Latin, Mandarin and Spanish Honor Societies. Being inducted into a Language Honor Society is a prestigious recognition of a student's academic excellence and dedication to the study of a world language. It signifies not only mastery of linguistic skills but also a deep appreciation for cultural understanding and global citizenship. Membership in a Language Honor Society often highlights a commitment to fostering cross-cultural communication and promoting diversity. Inductees are celebrated for their intellectual curiosity, leadership, and passion for languages, which are seen as tools for building bridges between different communities and enriching personal and academic growth.
