Newton District and Curriculum

Students in Newton attend Newton Community School District. Students learn under a curriculum aligned with Common Core State Standards and Iowa Core Curriculum – a student-based approach used for implementing high academic expectations of the Common Core Standards. Standards are expectations of skill and concept mastery for all students at each grade level in core subject areas. Beyond core learning, there are sports teams, community service learning, and extracurricular clubs for students to participate in.

We currently cover the following Newton-area school district: Newton Community School District.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Newton District Curriculum

Elementary grades introduce and develop new skills and ideas, helping K-6 students gain experience and master concepts. Junior high grades are centered on the educational needs of adolescents as they transition between elementary school and high school. High school years are an opportunity for students to select courses and electives specific to potential college and career interests, developing necessary skills for entering college and the contemporary workforce.

Instruction involves research – based strategies toward essential concepts and skills specific to each grade. Classrooms are students-centered, teachers focusing on the individual needs of each student. Assessments are geared to measure student achievement based on standards expected to master for the grade, allowing teachers and parents to determine the progress of students and areas in need of improvement.

Chalk Talk: Going into High School - Freshmen Survival Tips

Rising freshmen and new students going into high school may have a lot of emotions about going into high school – questions, concerns, excitement, nervousness or just overall anticipation. High schools usually provide a day or two before all students report to school for freshman to get familiar with the building, the teachers and other students. This is a time for freshman to transition gradually to their new environment. Some schools also provide “tips” prior to those initial days for incoming students to consider and hopefully feel reassured them of their new surroundings. Some tips may include a map of the school for locating classes once they receive their class schedule (sent to students during the summer), what activities are available for them to get involved in, what are the rules for lunch and the lunch areas, and information about testing – when exam week is, what exams are required and where to go to if there is no test to take. Becoming familiar with some of the procedures of high school prior to the first day of school can minimize any anxiety rising freshmen may have.
