Newton-Conover Middle School

Today, the 6th graders demonstrated how heat affects the motion of molecules in a substance by dropping food coloring into cold and hot water. They collected their data during the activity and made comparisons. #togetherasone

Happy Friday, Red Devil Family! Here are your announcements for the week of September 6 through September 10, 2021. Due to the Labor Day Holiday, there is no school for students and staff on Monday, September 6. At the September 3, 2021, Special Called Meeting, the Newton-Conover City Schools Board of Education voted 6-0 to require staff, students, and visitors to wear face coverings while indoors on school campuses beginning Tuesday, September 7, 2021 (provided they do not meet one of the criteria for exceptions). All students are required to wear face coverings while on a school bus. Progress Reports will go home at the end of this week. Parents, please monitor and review your child's progress regularly to ensure they are not falling behind. Students interested in staying after school for our MakerSpace challenges can continue to submit permission forms and join in the fun. Meetings are Tuesdays after school until 4 pm. A reminder that school starts at 7:40 am. Students should be in the building and in their homeroom classroom by 7:40. We will begin documenting tardies this week for students arriving on campus after 7:40 am. That is all for our weekly announcements. Have a wonderful weekend.

Hello Red Devil Family! Here are your announcements for the week of August 30-September 3, 2021. We want to thank all our parents and students for an excellent first week of school. Thank you, parents, for your patience with us as we finalize bus routes, car rider procedures and communicate adjustments for this school year. Parents, a copy of our dress code was sent home this week with each student. Please review the dress code and ensure that your child is coming to school following the guidelines. If you did not get a copy of the dress code, you could review the guidelines in our Student Handbook posted on our website. Cross Country will hold tryouts on August 30th from 3:00- 4:30 pm. Students must have an up-to-date physical on file to participate. You can contact Coach Crouch if you have any questions. Our first MakerSpace Challenge meeting will take place after school on Tuesday, August 31st. Parents, please continue to fill out Free and Reduced lunch forms and PowerSchool Enrollment if you have not done so. All students must complete PowerSchool Enrollment before participating in any sports, afterschool activities, or before receiving their Chromebook devices. That is all for our weekly announcements.

Good evening Red Devil Family! Here are your weekly announcements. Welcome Back Red Devils! We have missed our rising 7th and 8th graders and we want to welcome our 6th graders. We are excited to get the school year started. School will start on August 23rd. Car riders can enter the building starting at 7:10. Students cannot be dropped off prior to 7:10. The school day will start at 7:40 am and will dismiss at 2:50 pm. There will be no student sign-outs past 2:20 pm. Newton-Conover City Schools is utilizing a new webpage provider and phone messaging system for this upcoming school year. If you have any issues receiving information from the school please contact the main office. At this time masks are optional throughout the school building. However, masks are required for all students while riding on school and activity buses. If your student rides a bus, please make sure they have a mask each and every day. Students should plan to be at their bus stops 10 to 15 minutes early for the first few days of school. Students will also get home later in the afternoon due to bus drivers learning their routes. If you have questions about bus transportation please call the main office. Sports tryouts will begin this week. Volleyball will hold tryouts on August 24th and 25th from 3:00-4:30 pm. Soccer tryouts will be on August 25th, 3:00-4:45 pm. Cross Country tryouts will be on August 30th, 3:00-4:30 pm.
