A NOTE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
November 25, 2020
Cardinals,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the community for all the support given to our school district in extraordinary times. Our teachers and staff members have put in such great effort to help our students transition back to school and learn in different ways we never before experienced. The support has helped us more than people will ever realize.
Our teachers are, on a daily basis, preparing lessons to be delivered virtually. They are working on engaging students who appear only as a small picture on the computer screen. Teachers are helping students use technology and learn new skills. They have proven teachers are rare individuals who are capable of managing incredibly difficult tasks repeatedly on short notice. They take their work home at night and work to do it all over again day after day.
This holiday, I am not only thankful for the efforts of our entire Cardinal Community, but I am proud to be a part of a staff filled with so many great educators (teachers, administrators, and support staff). I hope everyone is able to enjoy a safe and healthy Thanksgiving.
Yours truly,
Tom Messinger, Superintendent
Newton Community School District
