Advanced Division

All after-school athletic activities for Wednesday, December 3, 2025, have been canceled.
South Newton Schools will be closed on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, due to snow drifting on roads. It will be an e-learning day. Elementary students will use the packets that were sent home.
You can sign up using the QR codes that are on the flyers around the school, by visiting Ms. Doan, or by using this link: https://www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/drive-results?zipSponsor=snewhs.
Students who are 16 will need a signed permission slip (17-year-olds & older do not need one). Those can be found in Ms. Doan's or Mrs. Kindig's rooms.
Student donors need a form of ID with their name, photo, and birthday. If you do not have that, Mrs. Kindig or Ms. Doan can help you out.
Student donors should eat real food (like a protein!) and DRINK WATER in preparation for donating! You will feel a LOT better and have a much smoother donation if you do those things.
If you have any questions, please see Mrs. Kindig or Ms. Doan.
