Today, an email was sent out to all 9-12 students about the trades expo that is upcoming. This is a common practice as we need to share information with large groups of students several times throughout the year. Today, unfortunately, a student replied to all in this email with an inappropriate picture that was received by all 9-12 students. This picture violates our district's social media practices and board policy. Our administration team identified the problem and investigated the post along with a conversation with the New London Police Department. At no time was there a threat to our students or staff, however, the picture could have concerned students. We will continue to educate our students on the proper use of social media and the consequences that can come from making what someone might feel is an innocent post. Parents, please join us in helping educate your own child about social media as well. As a District, we will be taking new approach of how to communicate with our students as well, so we don’t become subject to an incident such as this again.
If you have any questions or concerns to the matter please contact me directly via email or work phone and I will respond with what I can share without breaking confidential or privacy terms.
Yours in Education,

Tonight's Junior High Wrestling Meet originally scheduled to take place at Highland has been moved to WACO.
Due to a low amount of match opportunities for the kids Highland and WACO have combined their two meets.
With this change there will be around 50 matches and a lot of opportunities to compete for the Junior High Wrestling team.
Start time is scheduled for 4:30 PM at WACO HS.
Dear Parent/guardian,
As we are entering the cold and flu season please adhere to the following guidelines from the handbook when determining if your child should attend school:
1) Children who are vomiting or have diarrhea should not attend school and should be symptom free (without the use of medications) for 24 hours before returning to school.
2) Children with a temperature of 100.0 degrees Fahrenheit or above should not attend school. Children must be fever free for 24 hours (without the use of fever reducing medications, such as Tylenol or Motrin) before returning to school.
3) Children who have been prescribed oral antibiotics for contagious illnesses such as strep throat, bronchitis, or pneumonia should not return to school until they have been taking antibiotics for 24 hours.
If you are unsure if your child should attend school, please feel free to contact me by email at lindy.williams@nlcsd.org or by phone at (319) 367-0507. Thank you for your willingness to support and follow these guidelines in order to help prevent the spread of illness.
Thank you,
