Reminder
There is no school on Friday, October 18th due to the parent-teacher conferences on Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
The City of Newton in conjunction with Jasper County Schools applied for the Illinois Safe Routes to Schools Grant. The Illinois Safe Route to Schools Grant gives communities the opportunity to receive state funding to institute local projects that will help boost the health and safety of children by making walking and biking to school safer and more accessible. In the application, the City of Newton listed the enhancement of infrastructure (sidewalks) and the education of students regarding the important aspects of walking and biking safely around town as the two main areas of focus.
The grant will fund a temporary “Safety City” on Newton Elementary School’s blacktop. The grant will allow school personnel, crossing guards and first responders to teach students how to walk and bike using sidewalks while providing a safe environment. All participants at the event will be entered into a raffle for bicycles, scooters and safety equipment. This event will be held on October 22, 2024 at Newton Elementary School from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm.
A form to register for this night was sent home today with your child.
Reminder! We will have 2 hour early dismissal on Friday, October 4th due to homecoming.
First day of school!

JCCU #1 early dismissal update: All buses have now departed from Newton Elementary and are en route to drop students off.
Due to the concern of incoming weather, the Jasper County School District is looking to get kids home early today. We will be dismissing as soon as all buses are in place and we feel that it is safe to do so. If you need to make any transportation changes as a result of this, please contact the Transportation Department at 618-783-3023. Please note that the school district is constantly monitoring the weather and may decide to hold students if we feel it is not safe to transport them home. We will provide updates regarding any changes to this.
