K-12 Academic Coaching

Has your child embraced the idea and the importance of finishing the school year on a strong note?

This momentum can carry them through the summer months and help during that first week back in the fall. Next Level Up Academic Coaching can provide the push, focus, and perspective needed for your student to end the year on a high note. They’ve been working with Newton families since 2009 and their professional academic coaches incorporate all of the necessary skills to be successful: organizational and time management skills, effort, fundamentals, and positive study habits.

Nest Level Up also offers academic coaches available to continue through the summer months. Contact them at  781-540-1123 or info@nextleveluptutoring.com. For more information, visit www.nextleveluptutoring.com.

Thank you for Beautifying Bigelow

THANK YOU to all of the Bigelow parents, students, faculty and friends who turned out last Sunday for Newton Serves Da! It was a hardworking group of volunteers who braved the rain and worked enthusiastically.
They beautified the grounds with mulch and constructed new railings to protect the flower beds at the front entrance of the school. A special shout-out to our fearless leaders Audrey Weissborn and Andrew Hargens, and to the many students and their parents who helped.

Happy Spring!
