DROP OFF REMINDER

Reminder that the school does not open until 7:45 am. As the weather turns cooler, please be mindful of dropping your students off early. While I understand this may be a change to previous schedules, we do not currently have the staffing to accommodate an earlier arrival.

Middle School Devices and Device Use

As we continue to integrate digital learning into our daily curriculum, we want to ensure all families are clear on our take-home device policies for the school year. Our goal is to balance educational accessibility with responsible digital stewardship. Our goal is by following the policies below students will be READY TO LEARN and be able to be RESPONSIBLE and RESPECTFUL with their devices and learning.

Please review the guidelines below for your student's specific grade level, along with our expectations for device use at home.

Grade-Level Take-Home Policies

Grade 8: Students are permitted to take their school-issued devices home at will throughout the school year to support their increased academic workload and prepare them for high school responsibility.
Grades 6 & 7: Students may take their devices home on an as-needed basis when specific assignments, projects, or homework require digital access.
What's coming home? When devices are going home, you can expect students to have their device, a case, and a charger. It is expected that all three of these items return to school the next school day.

Expectations for Home Use

To ensure a safe and productive environment, we ask families to help us enforce the following standard rules:

Student Use Only: School-issued devices are strictly for the assigned student's academic use. Family members, siblings, or friends should not use the device for personal tasks.
Appropriate Material: Devices must be used exclusively for school-related activities, assignments, and approved educational tools.
Daily Preparation: If a device is taken home, it is the student's responsibility to bring it back to school the following day fully charged and ready for class.

We appreciate your partnership in helping our students navigate their digital responsibilities SAFELY and effectively. Please reach out if you have any questions regarding these expectations.

What's for Lunch?! (click me)

Note from Mr. Simpson

A short week, but a busy one on the hill!

After several weeks of talking about our Core Values and what it is to be a member of the Newark Street School Community, we got to see it all in action!

The timing was great this week as our Early Release day allowed students to engage in a series of activities from golfing, cookie making (pumpkin chocolate chip), pumpkin launchers (candy corn variety), a QR scavenger hunt, and pumpkin painting. The day wrapped up with lunch and off the students went.

Moving forward these newsletters will come less frequently, but you can follow our facebook page for updates and pictures as well.

Newark Street School

As we now all have an understanding of the "Newt way," the real work begins. Now we dig whole heartedly into the learning ahead!
