Mission Vision

The staff of Newton Falls Elementary and Middle School believes that all students can succeed and are committed to providing the highest quality educational experience that develops all students' academic, social, and emotional competencies. We are committed to establishing and implementing purposeful practices that foster inclusivity of all students within a safe and respectful environment.

The staff of Newton Falls Elementary and Middle School recognizes the importance and takes seriously our charge of laying the educational foundation for all students. We are committed to enriching our professional knowledge so that we deliver classroom instruction that is highly engaging, effective, and researched based across all academic settings. We will continue to foster high academic standards and behavioral expectations through our Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports Program (PBIS), Leader In Me Leadership project, and data analysis. Furthermore, we are dedicated to building healthy relationships within our school community and recognize parents as partners.

Send A Note to School

If a parent must pick up a child early for a doctor's appointment, etc., the parent must send a note stating the reason and time the child will need to leave school. The parent must come to the main office to sign out the child. A child will not be called to the office until the parent arrives. If someone other than the parent is to pick up the child, the name of the designated person must be written on the student emergency enrollment card. Pictured identification may be required. Please include a phone number where you can be reached for verification.
