• Below is a list of REQUIRED DOCUMENTS.  These documents will need to be handed into the NHS School Counseling office.

• Newtown residents who are hoping to have an out-of-district student live with them and attend NHS need to get "legal probate court documentation" giving temporary guardianship for the student to live with the Newtown resident for the semester or year.  This does not apply to students living with a host family through an approved foreign exchange organization.  For more information regarding that, you may contact Mark Pompano at Central Office (203) 426-7620.
