Dear parents and guardians,
Today at Newton Elementary School, we evacuated the school due to the fire alarm going off. Once the alarm goes off, this triggers a response from the Wade Township Fire Department. We wanted to make sure you were aware of what took place today as members of the community may have noticed emergency vehicles around our campus.
At this time, all students are out of the building and in their designated evacuation spots. The Wade Township Fire Department and Newton Elementary Administration has found that a pull station fire alarm had been activated without reason.
At the beginning of the school year, the District practices for such an emergency. The students did an excellent job leaving the building and now have returned to class!
Sincerely,
Joe Sornberger

Dear parents/guardians,
It is with deep sadness that I inform you about a tragic accident that has resulted in a significant loss in our schools and in our community. On June 28, 2025, two students died in an accident on the river.
Our district is committed to doing everything we can to help our students and staff with the grieving and healing process. To that end, we have counselors available at Newton Elementary School today, Monday, June 30th from 2:00-6:00 p.m. and on Tuesday, July 1st from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
This loss will affect everyone in our school family and in the Jasper County Community. Students may have a difficult time dealing with the loss, and we encourage you to talk with your child.
I appreciate your continued support of our students and our community.
Sincerely,
Joe Sornberger
