There will be interactive booths, games, crafts, performances and a cultural fashion parade all featuring our very own school families.
 
Sign up by May 1 at http://tinyurl.com/ncmcfair to volunteer or host a booth.
 

The Angel Program exists to support our families impacted by financial hardships. Our counselor Ms. Mutter works closely with our students and families to provide support for basic needs. Occasionally we get the opportunity to help these students in other ways that help contribute to their personal growth as a student here at Newcastle Elementary. We have identified several students that, without the support of our Angel Donors and community, family members would not be in a financial position to purchase a yearbook. If you would like to sponsor a yearbook for a student, please consider donating a yearbook HERE. Thank you in advance for your generosity.

 
 
Don’t miss out on the 2023-2024 yearbook for your student! Order yearbooks by Friday, May 31st! Each copy is $26. GO TO OUR WEBSITE to purchase and click on the "Yearbook" icon in the left column list and follow the prompts to complete your purchase.

If you are able to help, please email our popcorn chair, Dalyn at dalynhuveldt@gmail.com, or sign up HERE.

 

If you are approved to volunteer through the district, you are welcome to come to the school for your student’s recesses at any time. Be sure to check in at the front office to sign in and get your volunteer badge. Check out the Recess Schedule. Questions? Contact newcastleptsa.president@gmail.com.

We have moms, a dad, parents who work full-time and part-time, and parents who don’t work outside the home. There’s a place for everyone. You can learn more about the various roles on the Board and the time commitment (typically less than 3-5 hours per month) HERE. If you’re interested in learning more or have someone you think would be great on the board, please contact Dana Kinghorn (part of our Nominating Committee) at dkinghorn80@gmail.com.

Join the 2023-2024 PTSA Today and Celebrate 20 Years of Lion Pride!
 
 

The PTSA has been with Newcastle Elementary since its doors opened almost 20 years ago, providing the funding and programs to enrich the educational experience to our children. 

PTSA Membership helps fund critical school programs such as:

  • In-classroom monthly art curriculum and art supplies.
  • Family events like Costume Carnival, Science Fair and Multicultural Night.
  • Teacher allotments for classroom books, supplies or special class events. 
  • Community outreach like the holiday toy drive, movie nights, and lunch for the break.
  • Yearbooks, Book Fairs, and much more!
  • An expanded and updated playground in 2019!

Our ability to deliver an exceptional educational experience at Newcastle depends upon EVERYONE. It takes nearly $300 per student to fund PTSA programs for a year. Every dollar makes a difference!

Make your voice heard and become a member today. For the 2023/2024 school year, a family (2-adult) membership costs $25 or $15 for an individual membership. 

Visit www.newcastleptsa.org to sign up today!

Together we can enrich the educational experience for every family at Newcastle!
