Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Newton District Curriculum
At the elementary level there is a strong emphasis on math, science, language arts and social studies and each subject teaches students the fundamentals of the subject and learning strategies relevant to the subject. Math introduces students to varying topics from probabilities to patterning to spatial awareness in an effort to prepare students for advanced study in the subject. Language Arts gives students a foundation in reading, writing and communicating across all content areas.
An Extended Learning Program is offered for gifted and advanced learners at all levels as well as an extensive Special Education Program. Students may participate in Project Search, a high school to work program, as well as courses in career and technical education in which students may job shadow or obtain internships. Additional programs of study include STEM engineering, business, industrial manufacturing, hospitality management, architecture, agriculture, and journalism, and students may also take Advanced Placement and college level courses.

Chalk Talk: Nurturing Academic Success
Students who actively participate in class and experience success know they are respected and valued by their teacher and peers alike. Your child need to feel safe and know that their class is one in which they are free to always express their ideas without fear of what others may think. Spend time in discussion about having respect for others’ perspectives and suspending our judgment of others from the first days of school. Help children to learn respectful behaviors and understand that their opinions are valued in the community of learners through the activities you plan, the books you read, and the interactions you have. Continually reinforce that you will not tolerate students who do not show respect for others in your class and always remember to model appropriate behaviors with students and other teachers. When we take the time to show children what behaviors are expected, correct inappropriate behaviors, and continually monitor how they interact with one another, we will go a long way to promoting academic success.
