Carpentry 1 students worked on their deck project today. They started the day with only the concrete columns in the ground and finished the day with posts set, support beam in place, and all of the floor joists temporarily set. Plenty of work to do still but they made some awesome progress today! Go Tigers!!! #NLTigerPride
Awsome great to see younger folks get involved in a trade!
Mrs. Olson and Ms. McCord’s 4th grade classes have been hard at work this building their reading skills.

JOIN IN CELEBRATING IOWA SCHOOL BOARDS
May is School Board Recognition Month, sponsored by the Iowa Association of School Boards to celebrate the contributions of board members to Iowa public education. The New London Community School District is celebrating the work of our school board who has maintained their commitment to students, schools, and communities while facing challenges and making decisions they never could have anticipated when they were elected.
While school board members are elected by the community, they serve as unpaid navigators who help students set sail by devoting their time to monthly meetings, reviewing board materials, communicating with citizens, exploring learning opportunities, and attending school functions and activities. Most importantly, our school board has made tough decisions that impact the health and safety of students, staff, and the school community, while continuing to prioritize student achievement and educational equity.
The New London School Board is charged with charting the course for our school district. They oversee the budget, develop policies, set the atmosphere for the district, and make decisions that impact the entire community. They serve 570 students, 96 employees and our coaching staff. It’s a big job for no pay, but our board members serve to meet the needs of our students and our community.
The New London Community School District is shining a spotlight on our school board members at the regular monthly meeting on May 17, 2021 at 6:00 PM. If you have any words of appreciation that you would like to share with the board, please attend the meeting or share a comment to this post.
The board members serving New London Community Schools and their years of service are
Board President, Lindsay Porter (11 years of service)
Vice President, Jesse Howard (6 years of service)
Member, Shane Mettler (8 years of service)
Member, Tasha Gipple (2 years of service)
Member, Tim Myers (2 years of service)
Thank you school board members for putting our students best interests and our district’s growth as your priority. We are lucky to have you all representing NLCSD.
Thank you, School Board Members! You can't understand the depth of the work until you become a part of it. Thanks for your dedication and service!
Thank you all

Postponed changes with our Return to Learn Plan
Earlier this week we had shared our plans to move forward with our mask policy to complete the year. However, throughout this week we have had a few positive COVID-19 cases in the MS/HS building arise. We have not had to quarantine any students due to close contact, unless they live in the same household.
Due to this slight setback we will continue to maintain the current practices in our MS/HS for the final month of school. However, we will still expand masks being optional for our 4th and 5th graders as we have continued to have great supporting data.
When we began this journey, our goal was to make the best decisions using our local data in order to complete the school year face to face. Thus far we have accomplished that and in order to not have any further setbacks with only 20 days of school remaining we will follow the following practices.
Again, thank you for your continued support this school year.
Go Tigers!

Due to our HS teams being away at a meet, we are looking for some community members to help us with our Junior High track meet on Thursday, April 29 beginning at 4:30 PM.
We are asking you to report to the check in table on the South side of the football field at 4:00 PM on Thursday. Your responsibilities will be here and Mr. Fry will be able to help you get where you need to be.
If you're already planning to attend the meet as a spectator, you can sign up to help with a specific event and still be able to watch the meet. An announcement will be made and you'll be able to report when your position is called to help.
Thank you for your help!
