Newton South High School Recommends High School Fall To Be Distance Learning

Press release from the Newton South High School PTSO:

August 25, 2020

Dear Newton South Families,

"On August 25, 2020, the NPS recommended a change for High School model from hybrid to distance learning model, indefinitely. Return to Learn SC Presentation Update – 8.25.20. The High School Distance Learning Model starts on page 18. There is no longer a DLA for High Schools. The School Committee will be voting tomorrow at their meeting on August 26 at 7PM on the updated proposal by NPS. For latest updates on NPS Return to Learn, click here.

We know how difficult and complex this decision is for NPS. The PTSO will continue to work with South Administration and teachers to find the best way to help our community stay connected – even when we are apart. The presence of Covid-19 has changed how we deliver many of the programs the PTSO supports. We are committed to find ways to support our teachers and ways to enrich our student’s experience at South in this unprecedented school year. Please click here to subscribe to the PTSO Newsletter.

NPS, South Administration and Athletic Department are working and assessing Fall Sports. More news to come per recent email from Principal Mark Aronson.

Stay well and healthy and enjoy the summer days. Look for more news in the coming weeks as we get ready for the start of school on September 16, 2020."
