A Note from your Principal
Dear Tiger Families,
Welcome back to West Newton for the 2020-21 school year. Whether your students are participating remotely or in the building, we are excited to be back together and ready to learn! If you are new to our school, we are happy to have you as part of the family and look forward to getting to know you! Please join me in welcoming our new staff members featured below: Mr. Powers, Miss Brosseau, and Mrs. Johnson.
Students have done an outstanding job practicing new routines and procedures over the last two days for social distancing and safety in the building, as well as with technology for our remote learners. Parent Square is our new form of communication this year, and I encourage you to register and download the app for your phone. Please keep us updated with any changes in email or phone number so that we can have strong home-school communication.
Just a few reminders:
Students will take iPads home each night. The iPads need to come back to school the next morning fully charged. Also, please wipe down the iPad with a disinfectant wipe.
Thank you for sending a mask to school with your child each day to keep everyone safe. An extra mask in the backpack is a good idea as well.
See reminders below about COVID-19 symptoms and thank you for doing your part at home to screen children for symptoms before sending them to school.
Our school is closed to visitors, but we will be encouraging parent participation through communication, virtual PTO, and other virtual conferences or activities.
Have a wonderful weekend!
With Tiger Pride,
Mrs. LeMay, Principal
