FREE Physical Night: Wed. April 29, 2026 @ ESU

Each year, Newman Regional Health works with USD 251 and other area schools to provide free physical clinics for students. This year, they are trying something a little different.
Instead of hosting individual clinics at each school, NRH will be offering a consolidated clinic for all Lyon County League schools, held at ESU. We understand this is a change from what our families are used to, but this new format will include multiple providers on-site, helping the process move quickly and efficiently for everyone.
We appreciate your flexibility as we try this new approach and look forward to continuing to provide this great opportunity for our students.

This week at Northern Heights

This week at NLC:

APRIL IS MONTH OF THE MILITARY CHILD!
We have chosen this Thursday, April 23, as “Purple Up! For Military Kids” Day in USD 251. We encourage all students and staff to wear purple as a visible show of support and appreciation for the strength, resilience, and sacrifices of military-connected youth in our schools.
Why purple? Purple is the color that symbolizes all branches of the military, as it is a combination of Army green, Coast Guard blue, Air Force blue, Marine red, and Navy blue. Across the nation, people are being encouraged to show support for our military and veteran children and to thank them for their strength and sacrifices.

Congratulations to the NHHS Distance Medley Relay Team (DMR) at the KC Relays on Saturday. They placed 6th and set the new school record with a time of 13:25.22
Additionally,
Ellei McCrory placed 10th in the 3200m with a season best of 11:11.28
Laura Cathcart ran a 5:49.41 mile
The 4x800 relay team placed 12th with a 10:49.45

We have resumed USD 251 bus routes as of 4pm.

Due to the most recent severe thurnderstorm warning in northeast Lyon County, all bus routes are delayed by 30 minutes at this time. We will keep you posted.

North Lyon County School Family,
USD 251 has been closely monitoring the forecasted severe weather for our area this afternoon. Currently the National Weather Service is reporting that the greatest chance for storms in our area is between 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm. USD 251 is planning to remain in session until the end of the school day. In the event of an active thunderstorm warning or tornado warning or a strong storm of this nature imminently entering our area, student release at the end of the school day will be paused until the National Weather Service lifts the warning. In the event that school release is delayed by a storm, bus routes could run a little late.
Parents/Guardians are always welcome to pick up your children from school early due to weather conditions. If your child drives you may call and have them excused early. The only exception to student release would be during active siren notifications or tornado warnings.
All extracurricular activities and events have been cancelled for this afternoon and evening.
Thank you.

Cheer on your NHHS girls' distance runners tonight and Saturday as they compete in the KC Relays.
They will be competing in the 4x800 relay, DMR relay, 3200m, and 1 Mile run.
