Good Afternoon Parents/Guardians:
Looking ahead I have several reminders for you regarding
important events here at Newton. Next week we will be hosting our annual choir,
band, orchestra and guitar concerts. Our orchestra/guitar concert will be held
on Monday the 9th, our band concert will be Tuesday the 10th
and finally our choir concert on Thursday the 12th. All start times
will be 7:00 pm in our gym. All are welcome to attend.
As we finish the end of the first semester I want to
outline for you how our grades are done. Our teachers will have until 4:00 pm
on January the 6th to enter final grades for the semester. For 6th
grade parents and parents new to our building these are our report card grades.
You will not receive a paper copy of the report card. All grades are accessed
through your parent/student portal account.
On Wednesday, January 15th we will conduct our
awards/recognition assemblies. This will include first semester honor roll. All
teachers are required to give to awards per classroom to recognize students.
When we finish with the recognition awards we will distribute the first
semester honor roll certificates. We will begin the day with the 8th
grade awards at 8:00 am, 7th grade at 9:30 am and our 6th
grade at 12:45 pm. The assemblies will take place in our gym, all parents are
welcome.
I want to remind you that as the end of the year arrives
we are still seeking contributions to our annual pledge drive. Our pledge drive
is 100% tax deductible and all of the money received goes to our Newton PTO. If
you have not made a pledge it is not too late to do so. You can pledge on the
front page of our website by clicking on the PTO button and then clicking the
Donate button under the Brighter Futures Pledge Drive heading.
We are also seeking members to our Accountability
Committee. We meet once a month at 4:00 pm in our library on the following
dates: January 16th, February
20th, March 20th and April 17th. If you are
interested please feel free to contact me.
Have a great weekend.
Respectfully,
James O’Tremba
Principal, Newton Middle School
