From the Principal's Office:

Week of May 6th:

Hello Spartan Families, I hope everyone was able to enjoy their weekend. Here we are in our final month of the 2023 - 2024 school year.

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week! We are so grateful for all of our teachers here at North Newton. Their knowledge, patience, and dedication to our students are show all year.
Sport's Physicals will be available May 15th at the high school for $25. Student must sign up by May 10th by contacting cvanderlaan@nn.k12.in.us. They accept cash or check only to IMH.
There has been a lot of information about the new high school diploma that the state is chainging to. Here are some resources you can read about it. The state is taking public comment and we encourage everyone to share their view with the state while the window is open.

Summer 2024 will be the first year for Indiana SUN Bucks, a new benefits program that provides families $120 for each eligible school-aged child to buy groceries when school is out. Summer is a time when many children lose the free and reduced-price meals they get at school, and when households might need a little extra help putting meals on the table. Most eligible families will get these benefits automatically, but some parents will need to apply. This new program is available in addition to free meals that kids of all ages can get at summer meal sites in their communities. Visit the website for more information LINK
