The Mathematics Department at Newton South High School is looking for a long term substitute effective immediately. We had a teacher take a leave for the month of November, and the person lined up to serve as a substitute withdrew with no advance notice. The job consists of teaching 4 classes (3 preps, 2xMath 2 honors, 1xMath1 accel/honors, 1xStatistics). We are also considering individuals who may be able to cover a portion of the total assignment. Please direct all inquiries and any questions to the contact listed below.

It is time for the third annual Newton Neighbors Thanksgiving Gift Card Drive!

Did you know that 1 in 10 of our neighbors struggles to feed their family?  1 in 10 of our neighbors sits down to an empty plate. Help us to support our neighbors in need this holiday season.

Last year, through the support of our community, Newton Neighbors provided 150 families throughout Newton, Brockton and Waltham with $50 supermarket Gift Cards!  With increasing food costs, the goal is to give out $75 gift cards this holiday season through partner agencies to families in Newton, Waltham, and Brockton.

The Thanksgiving Gift Card Drive will run from November 1 – 19.  Any donation, of any size, will help us achieve our goal. Donate online at https://www.newtonneighbors.org/donate or mail a check to Newton Neighbors, PO Box 590141, Newton, MA 02459.

Newton Neighbors is working through partner organizations in Newton, Waltham, and Brockton to distribute gift cards to families and will not be distributing gift cards directly. All direct requests will be referred to appropriate partners.

Newton Neighbors’ mission is to facilitate community connection, mutual aid, and access to resources and support for all people who live, work, pray, play and/or learn in Newton, MA, and other local communities.

Our next Teacher Appreciation event is November 8th. The PTSO is sponsoring a luncheon for the teachers. Our luncheons always include desserts and drinks including allergy options. Please donate a meal below.

At this luncheon we will also be including note cards from parents/students thanking the teachers. We will be printing out all notes that are submitted though the form below and placing them on the tables at the luncheon. The teachers REALLY LOVE seeing their names and all the thanks. 

Donations

Notes

Donate to sponsor student appreciation events. Student Appreciation Days are sponsored by the PTSO and happen 4-5 times per year. So far we have been able to give out ice cream and donuts. 

Thank you to all the parents who donated time and money so that we could provide treats for the students during Celebrate South week. We would love to do 3 more  Student Appreciation Events throughout the year. Please donate below to help support that endeavor!

Taking the Advanced Placement (AP) exam is an important part of all AP courses. Newton South High School expects that all students enrolled in an AP class will register for and take the AP exam. Scoring well on an AP exam can often help students earn college credit. There are TWO steps to the AP exam registration process. Both steps need to be completed for an exam to be ordered.

The DEADLINE is November 15, 2022. Late registration remains open until March 15, 2023, with a $40 late fee.
