The Newtown Board of Education is comprised of seven community members and its collective role is to provide oversight and governance of the school district while supporting its mission and vision. Other primary responsibilities include setting educational policy, approving the annual school budget, hiring and evaluating the superintendent and overseeing curriculum and programmatic implementation. Board members serve as liaisons between the school district and the community and their contributions are essential to ensuring the future success of Newtown Public Schools.

Typically, the Board holds its regular meetings on the first and third Thursday of the month at 7pm in the Newtown Municipal Center Council Chamber. Board members also devote time to the Board’s subcommittees in order to increase the efficiency of their operations.

Did you know that joining your PTA offers several benefits for both you and our school community? Our PTAs do many wonderful things throughout the school year that support and enhance the educational experience for our students. In addition to raising funds for educational programs and classroom resources, members have the opportunity to have their voices and ideas heard, meet new people and build connections within the school and greater community, as well as gain leadership skills that can be both personally and professionally valuable. In addition, being involved in your PTA gives you a closer look at what is happening in your child’s school by participating in or organizing events that foster a positive school culture.

Thank you for your support!

Tammy Thornton from Housatonic Resources Recovery Authority stopped by Sandy Hook Elementary School to speak with paraeducators about implementing a comprehensive recycling and composting pilot program. Be sure to ask your Sandy Hook student how they are recylcing for a better tomorrow!
