Newton South Behavioral and Health Guidelines for Mayor’s Celebration Lane.  We look forward to seeing graduates and their loved ones at the Mayor’s parade on June 7th.  Below are some necessary behavioral expectations which will help  create a safe and celebratory environment for all in attendance.  The Newton Police Department will be providing coordination and security during the event.

• Seniors should be passengers rather than drivers unless there is prior approval
  from their dean.
• All participants, including cyclists, vehicle drivers, vehicle passengers, and pedestrians, must follow police directives;
  • Remain socially distanced from one another (at least 6 feet apart);
  • Not approach faculty/staff; and
  • Wear masks.
• Those parading in cars should stay in their vehicles.
• Drivers will:
  – Not stop along the route, or leave the route, unless specifically directed by police or in the event of a medical emergency; and
  – Adhere to all motor vehicle laws of the Commonwealth.
• No objects should be thrown from or passed between vehicles.
• Any banners, posters or displays should be aligned with NSHS Core Values
  (Choose Kindness, Listen First, Show Respect, Take Responsibility) and follow
  the rules outlined in the Newton Rights and Responsibilities handbook.
• Given the current health restrictions, individuals with any of the following health
  symptoms or restrictions may not participate in the parade:
  – Signs of a fever or a measured temperature of 100 degrees or greater;
  A cough;
  – People who have been instructed to self-isolate or quarantine by their
  doctor or a local public health official.

Dear Senior Parent/Guardian,

Congratulations Class of 2020 signs for your senior(s) can be picked up at South on Friday, May 29th from 8:30am – 12:30pm.   

Sign pick-up will coincide with the senior book return for Goodwin House on Friday from 8:30 am – 12:30 pm. Students coming on those days will be asked to complete their business inside the school during their scheduled time, get back into their vehicles, and then drive to the circle (bordering the baseball field at the end of the parking lot)  for curbside sign pick up.  If you are just picking up a sign, proceed to the parking lot directly.

Volunteers will take the names of each person picking up a sign and place the sign or signs in the trunk or through a car window. People can pick up multiple signs but will be asked to tell the volunteer the names of all students they are picking up for. Feel free to organize with neighbors/friends if you want to offer to pick-up and deliver to others. After sign pick up, cars should keeping moving safely through and off of the school grounds.

The PTSO will be making arrangements for delivery to those unable to pick up from South. Details will be forthcoming.
