Striving for Excellence, Together We Learn by Doing
January 10, 2012
Dear Newton School Community Members,
I want to wish every Newton resident a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
We are excited to be starting a brand new calendar year in such a positive manner. Enrollment is up, student achievement is up, finances are tracking well, and our winter athletic teams are all doing well. In addition, the recent weather has been wonderful! School administrators are always thankful to avoid calamity days this time of year!!! In general, things are looking UP!!!!
Another encouraging observation that many have made and expressed is that our school is very active. On any given day after school and on weekends, you will see many cars in the parking lot attending multiple events in our school. Our school is truly “the hub” of our community. It has also been my observation that people are generally of good cheer, positive, and appreciative of the many good things our district is doing in the way of serving our students.
The Newton School District is fortunate to be in a more favorable financial position than most other districts in the state. We are tracking very well financially this year. Revenue is up slightly (0.88%) over last year and expenses are lower than they were a year ago (-10.74%).
I am confident that with the support of our community that Newton will continue to be a thriving vivacious school. I am also confident that we will once again distinguish ourselves in 2012 as an exceptional school!
Sincerely,
Pat McBride
Superintendent

The 2012 Board Reorganizational Meeting Summary and the January Board of Education Meeting Summary are now available on our website in the Newsletters section.
In an effort to streamline all of the information at the Elementary, Junior High, and High School, Mrs. Davis has created a new Newton K-12 Facebook page to post updates for the entire K-12 community. We now have the link in the left-hand navigation bar as well as a Like button. The Facebook page is visible even if you do not have a Facebook account. The Newton High School Facebook fan page will not be updated now that this new page has been created, but you can still be a fan of Newton High School!
Check our announcements page for more announcements.
