Good Afternoon New Town Parents/Guardians, At 1:09, New Town Public Schools went into a soft lockdown. During this time, instruction still continued, and students were to remain in their classrooms. Mr. Bluestone, Dr. Vandal, and District Administrators remained in contact with our local law enforcement. At 1:41 pm, we were advised there was no longer a potential threat to our school buildings and the soft lockdown was lifted. We want to thank our local law enforcement, district staff, parents, and students for their cooperation during this lockdown. Any questions should be directed to Mr. Marc Bluestone Sr. or Dr. Anthony Vandal. Have a safe weekend.
