Hello Newcomb Families and Friends-
We have a lot of events coming up. Please be sure to review important dates and pay close attention to classroom announcements. On Monday we have our 5th grade Long Base Kickball Game, 5th grade parents are invited. This will increase traffic in the morning so please plan accordingly. In addition, we have our Middle School awards on Thursday morning and 8th grade awards on Friday morning, both events will increase traffic and limit parking.
Please take a moment to review the School Site Council Ballot and vote - https://forms.gle/jdTTueTtxRSBZLnbA Voting ends on June 7th at 4:00 pm.
