Last Friday we had the perfect day for Bike to School and a community breakfast. The majority of the school walked or biked to school. When they arrived, Gret’s pancakes, fruit, baked goods, and yogurt were waiting for a community breakfast. Although the weather was a little chilly, the students were full of smiles. Thank you to Hayley Zoerheide and the rest of the PTA for coordinating this event.
I am happy to report that the Newton School has completed the spring VTCAP assessment. This is the first year of the new assessment, so there was a learning curve for both staff and students. The 3-8 teachers, Donna Panella, Deanna Cayer, and Diane White were instrumental in our successful assessment administration. I appreciate all that went into this work.
I hope you all have Monday, June 19th marked in your calendar. Newton will hold graduation at 6:00 PM at the green in the upper village, or the Town House--weather will make the final decision.
Newton continues to hire for vacancies. This week we welcomed Katie Milligan to our teaching staff. Katie joined our staff in January working as a paraprofessional. Next year she will share her time working as the Spanish teacher for the middle school and supporting services. Welcome Katie! At this time we are still looking for a PE teacher and permanent substitute. If you are interested in these roles, or would like information to pass along to someone else, please contact me at school.
