What to Expect in the Morning and After School
As students enter NHS, we ask all students to go to the commons area, Wynn Gym, lockers, or to a teacher's room for academic support. In the morning, teachers are available beginning at 7:30 am to assist students with their academic and learning needs. We highly encourage students to use this time to make up any tests, quizzes, or assignments they may have missed. We also encourage students to utilize this time for academic enrichment and clarity on concepts and skills.
A 5-minute bell will ring at 7:45 am to initiate movement students to move towards their first hours. Classes begin at 7:50 am.
During the daily Seminar time, students may gain more academic support from teachers using our passing system. Teachers will also be available after school to provide continued one-on-one or one-and-group meaningful academic support to students who need it until 3:30 pm.
Students are encouraged to make the most of our academic options for learning and support so they can continue to grow skills, improve their grades, and gain vital concepts in content.
