If you are a parent of a current student or are a current teacher, YOU are already a part of the PTO, and we want your input!

We look forward to gathering parent and teacher input at our meetings in an effort to better serve our students, staff, and families. The fall and winter meetings will be a great opportunity to learn of volunteer opportunities, weigh in on programming and fundraisers, and provide input and help plan the spring all-school festival- New Britton Elementary's 30th Birthday Bash.

During the month of January, Mrs. Leiner, NBE School Counselor has been to all classrooms to discuss the topic of "Future You!". Students in grades 3 and 4 discussed how their interest today can lead to further study in an area which may lead to a job or career for the future. These students took an interest inventory and then researched careers that may go with those interests. In grades kindergarten through 2nd grade, we discuss again how their interest or passions can lead to their future. Students in these grades wrote and drew what their interests are and how this might lead to the future you. Each classroom also has additional information provided by Indiana's Department of Education which is titled Learn More Indiana. Below is a link for the Learn More Indiana information for each grade level plus the website we used for the interest inventory for grades 3 and 4.
