Dear Newby Families,

Time sure flies when you’re having fun! As I’ve been visiting classrooms these past few weeks, I’ve noticed students highly engaged in the learning process and having lots of fun studying about oceans, penguins, insects, the systems of the human body, personal narratives and persuasive essays, mathematics, the solar system – just to name a few.

Teachers will spend the next few months of instructional time focusing on the remaining state standards in reading, writing and math so that students are well prepared to advance to the next grade level.

Sincerely,

Mark Hinthorn, Principal | Newsletter

Cultural Art Appreciation Family Night May 15th from 6:00 – 7:25 p.m. in the gym. 

Please join us and participate in this culminating event from all of our studies about Asia. The line-up will include: Taiko Drummers; Student Presentations led by Mrs. Hayes (re-telling of Tikki Tikki Tembo); Read a-louds in the library; cultural presentations from Linfield International Students; Arts & Crafts activities and a thanks to our many parent volunteers for their countless efforts in offering this program to all classrooms for a 3rd year (Native Americans/Africa/Asia).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARENTS:
Parents, for safety reasons DO NOT drop students off or pick them up in the middle lane of the parking lot. This causes unsafe situations for your child and other cars behind you. It clogs up the parking lot and forces students walk in front of or behind other vehicles! NO middle lane dropoffs or pickups allowed! This goes for the bus lane on W. Second St., as well as our Main Parking Lot at the front of our school. Let’s keep everyone safe!
