Please welcome our newest member of the Norwich teaching staff Sydney Payne.
Sydney is a class of 2013 Alumni of Norwich High School. She graduated from Wichita State University in 2018 with a bachelor's degree in Communications. Sydney then went on to work within the Graduate School at Wichita State as the Graduate Communications and Recruitment Coordinator.
Miss Payne, a Norwich Eagle since kindergarten, is very excited to begin a new career path as the ELA teacher for NHS, as well as the Cheer Sponsor for the NHS Cheer program. Although she acknowledges this will be a big change, Sydney says that there is no other place she would even think about starting this journey other than Norwich Schools. Welcome Sydney! #onceaneaglealwaysaneagle
USD 331 Board of Education Announces First Day of School for 2020-21. Go to our website for more information in the "NEWS" section on bottom of page.
Check our website regularly for updates on planning & preparation for the 2020-21 school year. Be assured, we WILL be having school this year. We will have in-person as well as remote/virtual options. USD 331 has had our own Virtual School for many years. The difference between ours and the ones you see advertised on television is that we don’t market to the entire state. We created our virtual school to fill a need for OUR kids and they are who we focus on. The ones on TV are in it to make money. Your virtual school, USD 331 Virtual Eagle, exists to serve our kids. We do accept students from neighboring districts with special circumstances but we do not market & recruit. If YOU are a 331 parent & are considering a virtual route, we can meet that need. We use the same curricular software platforms as many that you see on advertisements. We provide the computer, we have the teachers. Our difference is- you know our teachers because they live & work in our communities.
Parents of USD 331 students: We emailed you a survey on Wednesday asking you to share your thoughts on returning to school. We value & need your opinions. The survey is also posted to Skyward Family Access. Please complete it one time.
NHS is excited to announce the hiring of Nicholas Kyle as the 9-12 Math teacher and high school boys basketball coach. He will also continue to serve as the middle school football coach.

Being active within the school and serving the Norwich community is something he has developed a passion for and he is excited to continue doing so for years to come.

He will be earning his masters degree in Education at Pittsburg State University.
Please help us welcome Nicholas to the teaching staff at Norwich School! #OnceAnEagleAlwaysAnEagle #TeamNorwich
