Assembly Programs
Assembly programs are an important part of school life. When students are not on stage, they are still an important part of the program. To be a success, any program needs a good audience. Students will enjoy and learn more from the assembly programs by following these simple rules:
Students must come to the auditorium or gymnasium in an orderly manner and sit down quietly. Students should remember that their route may lead past classes in session and noise may disturb them.
Students must be considerate of others at all times. This means laughing only when something is meant to be funny and sitting quietly even when the program for the day is not one that they would have chosen. Those in the audience and those on the stage will appreciate the courtesy displayed.
Students must show their enthusiasm by vigorous applause only.
Students must leave the auditorium or gymnasium by standing and filing out in an orderly manner. Students must remember to always follow the directions of the teachers.
Students must remember to make the return trip to class a quiet one.
Attendance of Students to Assemblies Sponsored by Outside Organizations
At times, other schools or groups may utilize the NPLHS auditorium or gymnasium for programs that do not involve students of NPLHS. This may, at times, even occur during the day when school is in session. When these programs occur, students of NPLHS may or may not be permitted to attend these events.
If an NPLHS student must attend one of these programs, the student’s parent or guardian must come to the main office to secure the student. The parent or guardian should then sign out the student from attendance at the high school and accompany him or her to the auditorium for the event.
The same procedure should be followed in the event that an NPLHS student must attend an assembly at another school in the district.
