Starting on Monday, May 3rd, we will make a change to our afternoon parent pick-up process. This change has become necessary due to traffic volume overflowing from our parking lot and onto Crane Crossing and West Main Street.

(Please note that morning parent drop off will not change.)

I invite you to look at the map below, which outlines the new traffic flow that we are hoping to create, while keeping the town of Newton roadways clear.

Parents will still enter the school parking area from Crane Crossing, but will be directed to make a loop around the old middle school parking area and back up toward Memorial School. We will have the Newton Police Department help to direct traffic the first few days to ensure parents are comfortable with these revised expectations. Students will wait for their parent / guardian in the same location as they have been (in front of the school gym).

In closing, students will still be dismissed at 2:45PM on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, and at 12:45PM on Wednesdays.

As I have requested several times this year, please support us by not arriving for parent pick-up before dismissal. Your patience and cooperation are appreciated.

Appreciatively,

Ryan McCluskey
