New Town Public Schools held a jeans week to benefit the Van Hook Stray Sanctuary and raised $1080 for the cause which is the most of any school district that participated in the fundraiser. Great Job NTPS Staff!
From Marc Bluestone, Interim Superintendent:
As you are probably aware, a lockdown was held at the high school today. A school staff member found a magazine with live ammunition rounds in a girl's bathroom in the high school. The SRO's (School Resource Officers) were notified, and lockdown protocols were initiated. the New town Police Department and MHA Nation Law Enforcement responded to assist. The high school was thoroughly searched including lockers and classrooms by the MHA Nation Canine Unit. One knife was found along with several vapes. No additional weapons of any kind were found.
All students and staff were safe, unharmed, and accounted for. In addition, students were fed in the classrooms and were escorted as necessary to the bathrooms throughout the lockdown.
A big thank you to MHA Law Enforcement and New Town City Police for their quick and thorough response to this unfortunate situation.

There is Saturday Academy at the New Town Middle School today from 9-3. There is a teacher here waiting to help you. Please use the west door.
Sorry for the confusion. The robo call that was just sent out by the school was a technology error. The Culture Night that was cancelled for this evening has been postponed to a later day. We sincerely apologize for the confusion. Again, there is no Culture Night at the elementary school this evening.
Friendly reminder: The New Town Public School Culture Night is this evening at the Edwin Loe Elementary School from 6-8 pm. Everyone is welcome! A meal will be served.
All afterschool activities have been canceled this evening at the New Town High School due to a power outage.

Suitcase Found:
This suitcase was found on Eagle Drive by a community member and they brought it to the school because it had a NT Eagle jersey in it. However, it was a jersey that wasn't used this year, so we still have not found the owner. If anyone knows who this suitcase belongs to, please contact the high school office.
From Interim Superintendent Marc Bluestone:
Covid Attendance Protocols
1. Students who are on isolation or quarantine are marked “absent due to Covid” once the school nurse has been notified.
2. Covid quarantine/isolation will not count toward truancy.
3. Covid quarantine/isolation will not count against non-crediting of classes
4. Teachers are to be putting assignments on TEAMs at the middle school and high school levels so students at home can access work.
5. If your student does not have access to an electronic device while on quarantine or isolation contact your building principal for work.
6. Student’s missing work will be placed on the ICU list. ICU is NOT a punishment it is a communication and tutoring system to make sure help make sure our students have reminders and support to complete work.
