NCUHS Update - Back in Classrooms October 15th!!

Good morning everyone, 

We have exciting news to share - based on the most recent test results, guidance from the Vermont Department of Health, and additional mitigation planned, we will be able to move back into classrooms and reset our school environment beginning on October 15th! While we are all proud of the way our entire community came together to not only make the best of the situation, but to embrace the challenge and use it as a way to demonstrate "Achievement Through Perseverance" and "Falcons are In-Tents!" 

To get ready for this move, we will need to alter next week's schedule a bit. We already had one early release day scheduled for October 10th, and we will add another one on October 9th. This will give us time to get the rooms and the building ready to welcome students back to a more normal campus and schedule. And, since this has been something that has come up in several conversations, moving back into classrooms will allow us to bring back the Academic Intervention & Enrichment (AIE) block. This will begin on October 15th as well. 

Additionally, we invite you all to school for the Fall Open House on October 10th from 5 - 7 pm. We will have cider, donuts, and freshly picked apples for all visitors. Normally, we would also showcase several programs and activities, but as you can imagine that may be a bit limited this year. Additionally, there may be some more finishing touches needed for the rooms, but we feel that it is important to welcome you all back with this event, particularly our 9th graders and families who have yet to learn their way around B-Wing. 

Thank you all for your support and understanding - our school community is a direct reflection of our parents' and community's values, and clearly we all value having our students with us and in school. We could not have done this without your help, and please let me know with any questions.
