Newcomb Families & Friends-
Shout out to Ms Renee and our amazing Girls Track Team. They battled hard to win the All City Track and Field Title on Saturday. It was a really exciting meet and our Spartan Athletes represented Newcomb well. So proud of all of them. Additionally, I can't tell you all how lucky we are to have Coach Renee mentoring our athletes. No one personifies guts and courage more than she does.
Please check the lost and found. There is one located by the front gate and a TK/K specific box by the kinder gate. This week, we we are going to do a lost and found item give away. Any items in the lost and found will be available to take home or if you see items that belong to a friend you can collect and give to them. All items will be donated the day before Winter Break.
Next, it's cold and flu season again! Please be sure to remind your students to practice good hand washing, eat right and get lots of rest. Please remember students should stay home if they are sick with fever>100.4, new onset of cough or sore throat. Students must be fever free for 24 hours without medication and symptoms improving before they return to campus. If symptoms indicate, consider a Covid test or flu test. You may order free Covid tests at https://www.covid.gov/tests, every household is eligible to order 4 free at-home COVID tests online or via phone at https://www.covid.gov/tests or by calling 1-800-232-0233, in case you'd like to share that information via Newcomb News.
Please remember that Friday is a minimum day for all students TK-8, with a 1:00 pm dismissal. We will be on Winter Break from 12/25 to 1/5. We will return to school on Monday, 1/8. Have a restful and relaxing break with friends and family.
Happy Holidays!

Newcomb Updates- Please no food deliveries
Please do not have fast food delivered or dropped off in the office. This creates problems for our office staff. The food also attracts ants. In rare cases food is picked up be the wrong person. We do not have the staffing to monitor items left in the office. If a student forgets their lunch, all students have access to a free breakfast and lunch in the Cafeteria.
