Dear NCHS Family, School Picnic: On Monday, New Canaan High School gathered for an all school picnic. The entire school community had a great time. It was an opportunity to celebrate what has been a wonderful school year. Governor’s Scholar: Mr. Gusitsch had the opportunity to attend the Governor’s Scholar Luncheon at the Aqua Turf. The program recognizes academically talented Grade Eleven students throughout the state. A junior must be in the top 5% of their class and then they must be selected from a field of over 150 entries. A committee reviews the candidates academic record, standardized test results and an essay they must complete. Conor West was one of 22 Governor’s Scholars that were chosen. Congratulations to Conor and the entire community for having a Governor’s Scholar chosen. We have been fortunate to have a Governor’s Scholar each of the years that I have been here (and year’s before.) This is a celebration of the academic strength of the community. Congratulations

Students will be able to buy lunch and will have about 90 minutes to celebrate the year with their classmates. The schedule for the day can be found here. Please note: closed campus 11:10 - 12:40. Multiple testing Pilot: At the semester mark, we started a Multiple Assessment Pilot asking that you fill out a form and follow a few steps to move an assessment. To date, only four students have filled out the form. We understand that some students are working out difficulties directly with teachers; if that is true for you, we ask that you also complete the form. Since this year is a pilot for the policy, the information that you provide in the form will give us beneficial information about what to do with the policy in the future.
