Let the Buses Through!
If you are dropping off your child in the morning, please remember that the right lane is for buses only. Cars should stay in the left lane all the way until the drop-off zone.
Remember to let your students out all the way along the drop-off zone- this will greatly help the flow of traffic and help students be on time for class at 7:15.
Thank you for your cooperation!
Student Course Registration Portal Closes on Sunday!
Information and resources for this process are always available on the NFHS School Counseling website. Also, check out last week's Rebel Crier to see some highlighted new courses!

Library News!
Most importantly, volunteers are needed for the NFHS Academic Decathlon Competition that will be held at the high school on Sat., Feb. 25.
If you can support us by volunteering to be a judge that day, please respond to haddad.christine@newfairfieldschools.org for more information.
Community members are encouraged!
Internet and Social Media Safety Presentation Coming in March
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.

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.
