Per Governor Noem’s recommendation, Newell School will remain closed until May 3. This closure includes all activities and all buildings, unless authorized by the superintendent.
All teachers, grades Pre-K through 12 will continue to host classes online or through paperwork. The homework drop-off/pick-up day will be Monday March 30th from 1-6 p.m. Library books may be returned at this same time.

Families with last names A-E 1-2 p.m.; F-J 2-3 p.m.; K-M 3-4 p.m.; N-S 4-5 p.m.; T-Z 5-6 p.m. We will have the point of drop-off/pick-up on the south end of Campus (4th street) for everyone to be able to drive up. Staff will be at the site to take the work you are turning in and hand you new homework packets.
Parents of high school students, please understand students must complete work assigned during this time to receive credit for their courses.
Newell School District thanks these groups and I would like to ask people to make sure to give thanks to these organizations:
*A huge "Thank You" to @WRCTC . They have provided Internet access to our students who have told us they needed access during our school closure.
*Also, a huge "Thank You" @Coxfarmstand in Vale for providing lettuce for our meals.
*A third huge "Thank You" to @RealtorsForKids in Spearfish for providing bags of snacks.
*And a huge "Thank You" to @FeedingSD for continually providing foods through our BackPack Program and our local Newell Food Pantry.
We are blessed to have community partners like them.
Per Governor Noem's recommendation, Newell School will remain closed through May 3. We will send a mass phone call out tomorrow (Wednesday) night with details for paperwork dropoff/pickup. That event will be held on the 30th.

Currently, the custodial staff are keeping surfaces clean. Bus seats will be wiped down after each morning and afternoon route. In the last months, because of the flu season, the Newell School District staff has already been proactively cleaning surfaces.
I know that the idea of COVID-19 can cause concern. I want to provide information and resources to best help parents and families address the concerns at home, as well. Below are links to specific CDC articles relating to COVID-19 talking points and preventative measures.

Newell School Board January Meeting Agenda: https://5il.co/c6qk
It has come to my attention there is misinformation concerning high school attendance during the study period/Drive-Time period of the day. This time is an official part of our school day. Attendance is taken during this period. The state law concerning school attendance does cover all attendance periods of the day.
SDCL 13-27-11. Failure to send child to school as misdemeanor. Any person having control of a child of compulsory school age who fails to have the child attend school as required by the provisions of this title, is guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor for the first offense. For each subsequent offense, a violator of this section is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.
The boys and girls state placing cross country teams will be presented their banners during half time of the boys basketball game vs Sundance, January 9. The JV game starts at 5:30.

Newell Drama Club presents Macbeth:Off-Kilter on Thursday November, 14th and Friday November 15th at 7:00 pm in Austin Auditorium. Who says Shakespeare's darkest tragedy can't give you belly laughs? Scotty Macbeth, is a high school senior with everything going for him, including a giant ego and a penchant for plaid. When some goth classmates-the weird sisters-convince him that he, not his friend Duncan Morto, should be the class president, his ambition leads him down a dark and absurd path of deception and expulsion.(No murder, of course. It's a comedy, after all!) Macbeth's plan is foiled when a hilarious cast of school faculty(including the goofy custodian Willie, his love interest Nurse Doris and Oprah, the unstable psychologist) team up with a couple of angry expelled "ghosts" and start investigating the troublesome events at Highland High. Macbeth's cheerleader girlfriend and co-conspirator, Sadie MacNutt, cleans her way to total madness as her own guilt finally exposes their evil plot. Complete with witty word play, slapstick action and a shocking twist ending, Macbeth: Off-Kilter spins the frown of tragedy upside down! Produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Service, Inc., Englewood, Colorado. Admission is a free-will donation.
