Introducing Merlin!

Last week, families should have received communication introducing Merlin, South Newton’s very own therapy dog in training!

The information shared included details about Merlin, his role at school, and what families should do if they do not want their child to have contact with him.

We completely understand and respect that not everyone is comfortable around dogs. Our goal is to ensure Merlin’s presence is a positive addition to our school community while honoring each student's needs.

*Therapy Dog Opt-Out Form: The form can be accessed through the QR code included in the parent information letter or online here:  Therapy Dog Opt-Out Form  

We’re excited to have Merlin as part of the South Newton family and look forward to sharing more about his journey and training!

*This form will be located on various platforms; please complete this form only once.
