We have noticed an uptick in the number of students who are coming in to school after the 7:15 bell.

If you are driving your students to school in the morning, please be sure you are on campus by 7:00 to ensure that your student isn't late to their first class of the day. If you have a senior who drives and they are consistently tardy to school, that they should also arrive by 7:00 to allow time to walk up the hill to class!

Fashion students held a newspaper fashion show. Groups of students designed outfits for multiple themes including athleisure, hipster, bridal, prom, steampunk and beach.

The link was not operating in last week's newsletter, so here it is again!

Things are really shaping up, and we are on schedule to open for the start of the 2023-24 school year!

Course selection for the 2023-2024 school year is beginning soon! Grade level assemblies will be happening during Rebel block the week of January 24th to talk about the process with current students.

Students will be choosing their courses in PowerSchool the week of February 6th.

Stay tuned for more information and the release of the updated Program of Studies in the near future!

Students interested in discussing honors, AP, or ECE level courses should begin having conversations with their teachers now.

On March 13 we will hold a presentation by Scott Driscoll for parents/guardians to help navigate the world of social media with your teens.

Scott Driscoll spent most of his 29-year career in law enforcement as a youth officer with a local Connecticut police department, building a rapport with youth in the community and in the school system.

While serving on a federal task force combatting crimes against children, he conducted undercover investigations of crimes committed by people using computers and the Internet. Scott’s work reinforced his desire to inform people how they can protect themselves from the potential dangers of technology in an ever-increasingly-connected world.

Scott founded Internet Safety Concepts in 2007 with the goal of educating people with a clear message: if we don’t consider safety while we are online and using other technology, we can put ourselves and others in danger.

The scholarship list linked below is updated weekly by the NFHS College and Career Center throughout the school year. We include a variety of mostly local and state as well as some nationally based scholarships. The list will expand after the holidays as we add in local scholarships offered by local civic organizations. There is a brief summary for each scholarship with instructions on how to apply. Applications may be accessed on- line or completed on paper applications provided by local sponsors, and criteria vary based on the sponsor. Individual applications for local (mostly New Fairfield) scholarships will be available in the College and Career Center. Please read the instructions for each scholarship carefully and pay attention to submission dates.
