Sign up HERE to help ____________________________________________________________________________ Hey Newcastle families! Starting at a new school can be really exciting, but also quite challenging. There are many new opportunities, and many new families, with many questions. How does the car pickup line work? When and where are soccer sign-ups? Where can I get my kid a haircut? Where should we do ballet? The list goes on! We have created a WhatsApp group for all new families and existing Newcastle Elementary parents and caregivers across each grade. We hope you will join the group, to either be welcomed or assist in the welcoming and to ask questions or provide infinite knowledge about Newcastle Elementary and related school programs. Use the QR code to join. The intent is that this is a low effort way to crowdsource input from fellow families when a new, or current family has a question. Email Stephanie at: newcastleptsa.outreach@gmail.com if you need any assistance! ____________________________________________________________________________ It's your lucky day! Nourish Every Mind Student Showcase is officially open for registration! Learn more & Reserve your seat today at:https://www.isfdn.org/nourish-every-mind / ____________________________________________________________________________ What is the Angel Program?
