Maybe our Winter Sing-Along assembly is just what you need to warm you up and fill your heart with joy! We’d love to have you join our wonderful Newcastle Elementary Choir singing songs to celebrate the turn of the seasons! On Friday, December 19, from 9:50-10:20, we will be hosting our first ever Winter Sing-Along Assembly! Our choir will be performing a few winter pieces, followed by an all-school sing-along led by Mrs. Webb and Mrs. Becker! We have a lovely mix of musical pieces from music classes for all grades… and some songs our grown-ups might be familiar with as well! We will enjoy thirty minutes together listening and singing about winter weather, lighting the darkness, and spreading peace!!

If you are experiencing financial hardship, there are a number of school and community resources available to support you in various ways.  See the below and reach out to the School Counselor, Ms. Mutter mutterk@issaquah.wednet.edu, to learn more: 

During inclement weather, or when school is delayed, buses may run on snow (emergency) routes. This means that for safety reasons, our drivers pick up students at different locations than usual. Please log in now to check your student’s snow/emergency route. We recommend that you do not wait until it is a snow day to log in, because you may have difficulties logging in or you may have questions. It's also possible that some snow routes may be incorrect -- please reach out to the Transportation Department if you have a concern. We're asking families to be prepared for inclement weather by viewing your snow routes now.

With the holidays coming up, please take note of our pre-arranged absence policy. Absences of 3 or more days that are known in advance and due to family trips may only be excused when prior approval has been given by the school. Prearranged absence requests should be submitted at least 1 week ahead of time. Pre-Arranged Absence Form and details enclosed.
