Greetings Memorial School Community,

Newton Police Department would like to remind students (and parents) to be safe when waiting for and boarding buses in the morning. Specifically, please look both ways before crossing a roadway and be well off of the roadway when waiting for the bus to arrive. Thank you.

The school is receiving feedback from the community that our afternoon parent pick up is a disruption to the local roadways (specifically the Crane Crossing intersection). While we are limited in options due to the size of our parking lot, we can ease how long the congestion occurs by asking parents to not show up before 2:30PM. Typically, when our dismissal begins at 2:45PM, we have all students in vehicles within 10 minutes.

If you have any specific concerns, please don't hesitate to call the school and ask to speak with the building principal, Ryan McCluskey. My preference is to have a conversation as opposed to a back and forth on Facebook or other social media platform. I appreciate everyone's understanding and support in this effort.
