In addition to the campus rating, Newton Collins also earned a distinction for exceptional achievement in Math.
Ms. Fredo will provide a more in depth look at the accountability system this fall during Parent/Principal Coffees.
Volunteering! It Takes a Village
Parent and community volunteers are integral to our school’s success. There are many ways for you to get involved in our community. If you are interested in volunteering, please complete the form below. We look forward to hearing from you!
All on-campus volunteers and parent chaperones for field trips MUST complete a background check and volunteer application. This takes awhile to process so complete yours now!

Roo Store Wishlist
Parents,
We are excited to launch our Roo Store for the 22-23 school year! Our Roo Store is run by several of our student leaders and visits your child's classroom every 2 weeks. Students use their hard-earned Liveschool points to purchase prizes and campus coupons. We purchase items for our store, and we are always accepting donations! We have included some student requested items on our Amazon wish list. If you or someone you know is able to donate to our store, we would greatly appreciate the support!
