Newton Conover High School

Good evening Red Devil families! We hope your student had a great first week of school and have enjoyed the beautiful, long weekend. Here are our announcements for the upcoming week. Please remember tomorrow, Monday, September 4th, is the Labor Day Holiday. School will be closed for students and staff on Monday, but will reopen on Tuesday, September 5th. School begins at 7:40am for all students. Doors will open at 7:00am. Parents if you will be dropping students off, please follow the posted procedures found in the email, school Facebook, and school webpage. NO LEFT TURNS are allowed into the drop off lot or back onto street. Please do not drop students off or pick up students on the side of the road or in adjacent lots as well. As you enter the lot, there will be three orange cones at the front door. Please pull up to the furthest free cone to drop off or pick up your student to keep traffic flowing. We suggest you be sure to leave early enough to have your student dropped off or in line before 7:20am. This will help our flow of traffic and allow all students to make it into the building before our 7:40am tardy bell. Tardies will begin to be documented this week. Please make sure your student is in class prior to 7:40am and encouraged to be in class during the day at the assigned time. Discipline will begin after four tardies. Due to impending construction, buses have been moved to the front of the school as well. This will also create more congestion in this area for traffic. Please be mindful of following all drop off/pick up procedures and time constraints. Buses will be dismissed at 2:45pm to accommodate this new traffic pattern in the front, with car riders to follow at 2:50pm. Help us keep all of our students safe by following these very important procedures! For any questions on busing, please contact Mr. Todd Davis at todd.davis@n-ccs.org or have your student see him during their lunch period. To celebrate back to school, students and staff will be participating in Spirit Week this week. Please see the schedule on our school Facebook page, school website, and in your email for attire for each day. Students will also be participating in a Powderpuff Football Game on Thursday, September 7th at 7:00pm. Please come out and support our NC Athletics at this event. Students please remember our NCHS dress code as we begin the school year. NO crop tops or cut out shirts are allowed, as well as no hats or hoods in the classroom. Also, make sure shorts are appropriate length. Students will be asked to call home and/or change if clothes do not meet code. Each student was given a paper copy of our Student Handbook. Parents, please ask your student to look over this with you to familiarize yourself with the school rules. The handbook has also been posted on our school webpage. We thank you for your patience with us as we work through traffic issues related to our new construction this year. We hope you have a great evening and GO RED DEVILS!

Due to new state guidelines, N-CCS has had to change all student email addresses. We are no longer using PowerSchool ID as email address. The new scheme has been changed to the first three letters of first name, the first three letters of their name, and the last four digits of their PowerSchool number. If their name is less than three letters, then it will only use two letters. The new configuration will be ffflll####@stu.n-ccs.org Example: Miranda Jones - PowerSchool ID - 123456789 email: mirjon6789@stu.n-ccs.org Please use this information as students are trying to log into their school email prior to school opening!
