On Monday, January 30, 2023, our students were surprised by a visit from Governor Kay Ivey. She made a special trip to Newton to celebrate our school for not only being recognized as a Blue Ribbon School, but also for our most recent recognition as an ESEA National Distinguished School.
The mission of Newton Elementary School is to produce students who are prepared to begin the next level of learning with self-confidence and a desire to succeed. We will achieve this by providing an appropriate curriculum taught by an innovative and nurturing staff in a positive and caring environment.
Our Beliefs
Every individual deserves the right to be successful.
Every individual is worthy of consideration and respect.
Every individual deserves equal opportunities.
Each individual has good qualities and is special in his/her own way.
Each child deserves an environment that fosters self-worth and enhances his/her potential.
Children deserve the opportunity to obtain a strong educational foundation based on reading, writing, and mathematical skills to enable them to become life-long learners.
Most children learn best when they are actively involved in the learning process.
Faculty and staff need to foster positive attitudes.
Faculty should actively promote parental involvement in the child's educational process.
Faculty should incorporate learning activities that take into account differences in students' learning styles.
