NORWICH – The Norwich City School District is inviting parents and students to an open house event that High School Principal Kermit Moyer says will put a new spin on a long-running school tradition.

The NHS parent information night, an annual event that affords parents an opportunity to network with their child’s teacher and learn more about academic programming, will be held from 5:30-7:20 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 4 at the high school.

While countless open house events have been held in previous years, Moyer said this year’s event bears two specific goals: increasing parent participation, and spotlighting the academic programs available to the 600-plus students at NHS.

“Our concept is to make our open house look a little different to bring in more parents and families,” Moyer said. “We want parents to use this evening as an opportunity to learn more about what we’re doing to help support their children in pursuing their academic goals.”
