May Parent Newsletter

Dear Newlon parents,

Congratulations to all our Newlon students for the hard work and effort they showed us during the recent CMAS assessments. We are all very proud of how seriously students took the test and expect to see good growth from them when the results become public in early August.

Parents please remember that at 7:45am students will be supervised on the playgrounds. We are again asking that all parents and students go to the playground to wait for the school day to begin. We do not have the resources to supervise students in the hallways. It is our expectation that all students meet their teachers/classmates on the playground. Please do not use the front school doors as your entry point in the morning. We ask this so that we can assure the safety of all our students.

Thank you for your help with this.

Sincerely,
Kelli Varney                  
Principal

 

Spirit & Teacher Appreciation Week

What better way to start the month of May than with Newlon spirit and teacher appreciation. All through the first week of May students and staff will be able to show their Newlon spirit by wearing their PJ's, having crazy hair, wearing their favorite sports gear, partnering with a twin, and mismatching their clothes. Teachers will also be celebrated for all they do for our students. Make sure to let your teacher know that they are valued and loved.

 

Thank you Volunteers!

Our parent and community volunteers have been a great asset to our school and Newlon staff appreciates the time and dedication they have put into our children's learning experience. For this reason Newlon would like to celebrate our volunteers with a morning brunch and recognition certificates on May 5th.
