Sept 14 - Sept 18, 2026

We have school Monday through Friday this week, 7:40 - 2:50 daily.

Students should be in their seats by 7:40, so plan to have them to school by 7:30 am.

It takes some time to walk from the school entrance to classrooms, and the car rider line gets long starting at 7:25, so please plan accordingly.

Cell phones are only permitted during class changes, lunch, and after school. Students should put their phones up in the pocket charts in each classroom upon arrival and/or when directed by the teachers. Having a cell phone out during class without permission results in disciplinary actions for insubordination, which is 1 day of ISS.

Students with a single online class during 2nd or 3rd periods are not allowed to leave campus. They must attend their assigned classes according to their schedules. This has been communicated to students in multiple different ways during the past few weeks. Leaving campus given these circumstances results in a disciplinary consequence of up to 2 days OSS on their first offense.

Make sure to follow the traffic rules by NOT picking up your child on 15th street. This is a directive from Newton Police Department. If you are picking up your student on the street shown in this picture, you are not picking up in the right place. Our car rider line is completely cleared out in 10 minutes, so the wait time is actually not that long. We do understand the desire to not wait in line, but for the increased safety of all drivers and students, we must ask all student pick ups to take place in front of the new building within the parking lot -- not on 15th Street. There have been MANY near-miss traffic accidents, so is important for everyone to follow this rule. Thank you to all who have been picking up in the right place! Please watch the video below to find out where to drop off and pick up. Thanks!

Here is the sign-on link: (https://182.ncsis.gov/campus/portal/parents/psu182newton.jsp) for you to login using your username and password. There were a few issues with the Infinite Campus Gradebook, but we hope those are resolved now so that you can see your child's information.

Ticketing of unauthorized cars began last week. Each day a student parks on campus without a pass, a $10 ticket will be issued. Parking passes are not transferable.

To save time, complete this form prior to arriving at the school and ask your child/student to bring in their driver's license. They will need to know their license plate numbers. Copies will also be available on-site.
