Open PTO Committee Positions
Thank you to the many people who have volunteered for the 2025-26 school year! We are still looking to identify a few key roles now so we are ready to hit the ground running this fall:
There are many ways to get involved beyond roles listed above. The PTO partners closely with our school leadership, teachers, and staff to create meaningful experiences for our students and build a strong, connected community. Whether you are available occasionally or interested in a leadership role, there’s a way for everyone to get involved. We hope you can join us!
Calling all parents for the Newton North Class of 2029!
At Newton North, each class has 3-6 class liaisons who serve as parent representatives for the grade. Class Liaisons communicate with parents/guardians, class advisors, class officers about class specific events and they manage the Facebook page and/or Instagram for the parents and guardians of the class. Class liaisons work with PTSO Co-Presidents and the Class Dean to support class-specific events and assist in finding volunteers for class-specific events. The Class Liaisons first duty is to help plan the 9th Grade Class Welcome event that happens in September. This is generally a 4 year commitment, from September to June, one hour every two weeks.
Please email co-presidents@northptso.org if you are interested or have any questions.

Did you know that students can come to the library during 4th block for a technology break with their friends? The Bigelow library is collecting playing cards, Uno, Connect Four and other games for students to enjoy during this time.
Please reach out to Bigelow Librarian Helen Guzzi at guzzih@newton.k12.ma.us with any questions.
Every first Wednesday of the month, we encourage students to walk, bike, carpool or take the bus to school with our Walk and Roll days. They get more exercise – great for learning – and it is better for the environment. Does your child have trouble getting up in the morning and need a ride to get to school on time? Drive them partway and have them walk the rest, or drive them in the morning and ask them to walk home. If your route is too dangerous, arrange to carpool with neighbors, friends, or family. The fewer cars idling, the better!
