Picture Day today at the elementary in the elementary gym until 4 pm. Any student in grades K-12 that did not get their photos taken may go in today. Retake day will be on November 20th in the high school gym.

Good Morning New Town Families, As a precautionary measure we are closing our Middle School wing for two weeks. This means that students who are in Middle School should not come to campus. There are a few High School students who are also impacted; these families will be notified directly. This means Middle School tutoring is also suspended. The Middle School will reopen on Monday, November 16. The reason we are closing is that we have Middle School Staff who have tested positive and others who are on quarantine. We don't believe we have had any Middle School Students who have been on campus test positive. If your child has tested positive and has been on campus, please notify Principal Slayton as soon as possible. Remember children tend to not show symptoms, so you may want to consider getting your child tested for CoVID-19. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Stay well. Beth A. Zietz Superintendent

Picture Day has started. Come on in!
