Calamity Day Make-Up for 2014-15
Here is the official make-up plan for New Lexington High School:
- Students will make up one day of school on Thursday, April 2.
- New Lexington City Schools has also extended the school day for the remainder of the year (March 23-June 4).
- Students at NLHS will begin class at 7:35 and will be dismissed at 2:25, adding 40 minutes to the regular school day.
See below for a link to the district letter regarding make-up days, as well as NLHS's updated bell schedule for the remainder of the year.
Important Schedule Changes Beginning March 23
- We will operate on the 7-period schedule for the remainder of the year. We will not have block schedules on Wednesday and Thursday.
- Chamber Singers will meet on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 7:15-7:45. Students in Concert Choir, but not Chamber Singers, should meet and wait in the back section of the cafeteria from 7:35 until 7:45 before entering the music room. Teachers who have Chamber Singers students during first period - these students will miss 10 minutes of first period on these days; please excuse them.
- Project Y.O.U. (alternative school) will be adjusting their schedule as well. The after-school program and alternative school will now meet from 2:25-5:25 Monday through Thursday.
Responsible Use of Social Media
Did you know that if you delete a Tweet, it is still kept on file somewhere? How about your text messages? Clicking "Delete" doesn't mean they disappear forever.
We all need to remember that social media is a reflection of who we are as individuals - it's our digital footprint. Do you know what your digital footprint looks like?
Take a moment and pause before you post to ask yourself these questions:
- Is what I am posting a true reflection of who I really am?
- How will my post impact others?
- How will my post affect the way others perceive me?
- How might this post affect my future (scholarships, career opportunities, etc.)?
Most social media usage is harmless and can be a great way to share opinions and keep up with friends and family. However, we all have to remember that some opinions can be harmful to ourselves or to others. If that's the case, you have to ask yourself: is it really worth sharing?
Remember: we all have the freedom of speech based on the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights; but, our rights only exist insofar as they do not impede upon the rights and safety of others.
Pause before you post, and use social media responsibly.
