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!
Time to Fill Out Your Volunteer Application Do you plan on volunteering at the school? Get a jump start on the application! ALL volunteers must have an approved application through the Issaquah School District each school year. In a typical school year, ISD welcomes as many as 9,000 volunteers into our schools. Reviewing and approving volunteer applications may take up to three weeks. *Hint, if you submit before school starts, you will get approval FASTER!* Link to the application is HERE!
Meet the Teacher/Popsicles on the Playground! Join us on Monday, August 28th, after meeting your teacher for Popsicles on the Playground. WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!
  Kinder Connect Playdate #2 Get Ready! Get Set! Let’s GO into Kindergarten with Playdate #2!
 Incoming Kindergarten Families, A big thank you to everyone who joined us for playdate #1 at Lake Boren Park. It was wonderful to meet you! If you weren’t able to attend, don't fret! There is another opportunity to meet other kindergarten families on Saturday, August 26th, from 11am-1pm at the Newcastle Elementary Playground. We look forward to seeing y’all there! Parking in the bus loop will be permitted, but only for this event. Also, for the first day of school on Friday, September 1st, Kindergarten will be having a brief get together for parents in the courtyard after school morning drop off. We will have bagels (or pastries) and coffee. Please email through KinderConnect (newcastlekinderconnect@gmail.com) if you will be able to attend so they have enough nosh - and tissues for those of us who may shed a tear as our cubs leave the den! Our incoming Kindergartners require some support learning the new routine during the first two weeks of the year, and volunteers are needed in the cafeteria and at recess. If you are able to help out during these next few weeks, we encourage you to submit your application with the district now. It can take up to two weeks or longer to get everything processed. You can get started HERE. PTSA Board Spotlight
In the following weeks, we will be getting to know our PTSA Board for the 2023-2024 school year. Please meet our Ways & Means VPs, Betsy Ray and Shellie Colby:
