 Good Evening Parents, Guardians and Students:

Newton School Spirit Wear Opportunity:

We are offering an online Newton School Spirit Wear opportunity for all of our students. Please access this link for additional information and to purchase specific items.

BUY A YEARBOOK

This year, Newton will be selling yearbooks directly from our publisher, Herff-Jones.  So all yearbooks will be purchased directly from our publisher and will be delivered to students at school in May.  Yearbooks are $40, and there is a $3.99 processing fee, for a total book cost of $43.99.  

To order, click on this link: https://www.yearbookordercenter.com/?event=general.displayLanding&jobnumber=7571 or visit yearbookordercenter.com and enter "7571" for your school code.

Be Real App:

This is a phone app that students can use to take reverse pictures, basically the way the app works is you give your phone to someone and ask them to take your picture, the phone then takes a picture of the person holding the phone. Students should not have their phones out while here at school. If students use this app unknowingly with other students there can/will be consequences here at school including our SRO being involved if we feel there is any intention of harassment.

Important PTO Information:

PTO Meeting

Please join us for the first PTO meeting of the year on Thursday, September 15th from 9:30am-11:00am. We will be meeting in person at Newton with the option to join us virtually in a Google Meet. To get the link to join our meeting, email PTO president Tiffany Hansen at newtonptopres@gmail.com. Agenda is attached. Hope to see you! 

The PTO Annual Fund

NEWTON ANNUAL PTO FUND DRIVE INFORMATION:

Every year the Newton Middle School PTO holds ONE primary fundraiser…the PTO Annual FundDrive, where 100% of donations are directly deposited into the PTO account. This means there are no fees withheld by third parties, no students serving as sales force on their neighborhood streets during a pandemic, etc. This year our goal is to raise $30,000. We are recommending a donation of $150 per family – less than a dollar-a-day that our students are in school. EVERY GIFT COUNTS!

For additional information and how you can contribute please check out this link.

Save the Date! 

Our first Newton Restaurant Knight Out for this school year is Wednesday, 9/21 at Bad Daddy's Burger Bar from 5-9 pm. If placing a to-go order, orders need to be placed from the website. Dining in is also an option. 10% of all sales that evening will be donated to Newton. 

** Because Bad Daddy's participates in the Streets of Southglenn Street Smarts program, you can upload your receipt  here to help Newton raise even more money from this event! **

Important Information From LPS Transportation:

The only students allowed to ride the bus to and from school are students who live in specified transportation zones. Students are not allowed to have friends ride to or from school with them if they don’t live in the appropriate transportation zone. 

When we have away events for our athletic teams transportation will be provided to the event only. Parents will be responsible for transporting their students home after the away event.

If you have questions please contact Marcy Phelps, Director of Transportation.

LPS Community Fair:

LPS will be conducting a community fair on September 16th. Please access this link for additional information.

Have a great weekend.

Principal, Newton Middle School
