Dear Parents and Students,
In order to insure that Homecoming Week activities run smoothly, safely, and with little disruption, I would like to offer the following guidelines. This is not intended to be a comprehensive list of do’s and don’ts but rather a set of guidelines which should provide parameters on what is acceptable.
For any dress up days there should be NO masks or face coverings, NO facsimile weapons such as swords, guns or sabers, NO skateboards, skates, scooters or the like. Costumes should allow a student to be identifiable, move around freely and although we welcome originality it should not present a disruption to classes.
On Friday, September 25 we will be closing the campus for all students. The schedule for that day is listed below. Any student who must leave the campus for an excused reason (medical appointment, for example) is required to bring a parent note or have a parent call in to the Attendance Office before leaving, and check back in to the Attendance Office upon return. Any student, even those juniors and seniors with standard parental permission, who leaves campus without obtaining prior permission through the Attendance Office will not be permitted to return to campus and will face disciplinary consequences.
As with all of our dances, we will be breathalyzing all students who attend the Homecoming Dance on Saturday, September 26. Tickets for the dance will be sold during lunch in the cafeteria starting on Thursday September 17th - Friday, September 25th. We want students to enjoy the event and feel comfortable that they will be safe while in attendance.
It is important to note that Homecoming Week does not disrupt the educational process and that all students behave in a way that promotes school spirit and unity. I expect that the majority of students who make up the NCHS community will not tolerate the inappropriate actions of a few. Any student who violates the intent or the spirit of Homecoming Week will be sent home, excluded from the rest of the Homecoming activities, and will face other consequences as appropriate.
My responsibility throughout the many activities of Homecoming Week is to provide all students with safe, orderly and enjoyable events. As members of the NCHS student community, your responsibility is to join me in this effort, be at your best, and make this a great Homecoming Week.
Sincerely,
Bill Egan
Principal
