The Newton South Community aims to be an inclusive welcoming community to all members of our school community. Learn more about anti-racism resources at our PTSO website. We encourage you to read, watch and act through these resources to help us stop systemic racism.
In light of yet another recent tragedy in Atlanta shooting, we encourage every member of our community to raise awareness of implicit biases, support anti-racism, take action to stop systemic racism and show support for our Asian American community.
