Good Evening Parents, Guardians and Students:

Just a reminder there will be no school on Friday, March 10th for students.

Please see the attached memo that I sent on the 28th regarding the new start times for Newton beginning on Monday, March 6th. I have also attached the new bell schedule. We will begin school at 8:50 am the remaining part of the school year and 9:50 am on Wednesdays.

Attention Parents, we need your help!

PBIS will be having the CODE Shop for students to spend the CODE Cards they earn on Friday, March 17th.  For the CODE Shop to happen we need the following:

-Donations from Parents of Small Candy, toys or knick knacks, Regular size candy bars or bags, Little Debbies or Hostess Treats, and theater size boxes of candy and 3 packs of gum.

-We need four parents to help run the CODE Shop during each lunch period on that Friday.  You come in, help kids pick their prizes and collect their CODE Cards and get to see and hear middle schoolers in their own environment, if you dare.

To sign up to help, please use the sign up genius linked below.  We can't do it without you!!
