Sideways Stories from the Wayside School: Thank you to everyone who is supporting their student with reading each night. Our kids are doing a great job answering the morning trivia question. We would love for you to share pictures of you and your student reading together. Please email any pictures to wittl@nfschools.org or send with your child to school. These will be used to decorate our building.
IReady Incentive- In the month of October, students passing 8 lessons in ELA and 8 in Math will get to participate in a root beer float party. Students in Kindergarten are working towards passing 3 lessons in each. Any house that has 90% of the students earning the incentive will receive 10 points for their house; houses with 75% of students earning the incentive will earn 7 points and any house having 60% of students earning the incentive will earn 5 points.
Backpack Program: In conjunction with our local Kiwanis, we are happy to announce that we will again be able to provide goody bags to some students a couple of times a month. If you are interested in receiving one of these bags, please complete and return the attached form.
Trunk or Treat- October 19th, 2023 Newton Falls Elementary and Middle School staff along with community partners will be hosting a Truck or Treat from 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm for students and their siblings. If you would like to donate bags of candy to support this event, please send them to school with your student. The "house" that donates the most candy will earn 3 points.
