What is Angel Program?

Angel Program exists to support families in our school community who suffer from financial hardship. Our school counselor assists these families in identifying community resources.  Volunteers within Newcastle Elementary fulfill additional family requests. Each of our families/students and volunteers remain anonymous.

Be Brave.
Need help? Our school counselor Kailey Mutter can connect families with resources - from coats, birthday gifts, rain boots to school supplies.
📩 Email mutterk@issaquah.wednet.edu.
🔒 All requests are private.


Be an Angel
Angel Donors support Newcastle students by donating, shopping or delivering items.
Sign into your ptsa account and donate. 
📩 Email newcastleptsa.angel@gmail.com to help.

Show your student the power of giving.  Build a foundation and be a stronger community.

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.volunteers@gmail.com if you need any assistance!
