Needmore News

Congratulations to Mrs. Misty Deckard, our Needmore Elementary Staff Member of the Week! 🎉 Mrs. Deckard brings passion and dedication to our 5th and 6th grade ELA classrooms, inspiring students with her love for reading and writing. Her commitment to student success and her positive energy make Needmore a better place every day.

Thank you, Mrs. Deckard, for all that you do! 👏📚✨

We are waiting on the preliminary results of the IREAD assessment and we will reach out to families as soon as we know more.

Needmore is getting an all new, state-of-the-art HVAC system this summer! This is EXCITING! It also comes with some headaches while the work is being done. One of the tasks we need to do is pack up our classrooms so they work can get done over the summer. This is where WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Are you overwhelmed with cardboard boxes showing up from Amazon, Walmart, Target, or any other school appropriate businesses? We can take those for you!

We need good cardboard boxes for teachers to pack classroom items to be stored over the summer. You can drop off the flattened boxes at the office and we will put them to good use. We appreciate any help you can provide!

We want to thank our 2024-2025 PTO Sponsors! If you or someone you know would like to become a PTO Sponsor, please reach out to our PTO at needmorepto@gmail.com.

We are proud to announce our partnership with STOPit Solutions, a nationally recognized leader in school safety and wellness.

Through this partnership, everyone in our school community has access to the STOPit anonymous reporting app – a powerful tool designed to deter and promptly address instances of bullying, school violence, self-harm, and inappropriate behaviors.

With the STOPit app, users can anonymously submit tips, attach photo or video evidence, and privately message school leaders with the necessary information to help everyone involved.

In addition, when a student or anyone in our school community needs immediate support, the STOPit app provides direct access to Crisis Text Line. Users can anonymously text with counselors (day or night) until they feel safe and calm.

We encourage everyone in our school community to download the STOPit app.

If you haven’t already done so, we kindly urge parents and guardians to download the STOPit app and become familiar with its features. This will not only enable you to guide your children in using the app but will also demonstrate our collective commitment to the safety and wellbeing of our whole school community. The STOPit app is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Registration for the 2024-2025 school year is available now. You can register at the link below. If you have any trouble at all, please don't hesitate to call the office at 812-279-2192 and we would be happy to help!
