City of Newton needs parent/guardian input on transportation to school
Survey on How Students Get To and From School
The City of Newton and the Safe Routes to School Task Force is collecting data on how children get to and from school and why these choices are made. Your input it critical to help the city to form policies and transportation options in the coming years as well as address current issues.
The survey is designed with specific questions geared towards each school level (elementary, middle and high school). The survey will take less than 5 minutes for each school you are responding about. For parents with children at more than one school at the same level (such as having one child at Day and one at Bigelow), you are invited to complete a second survey for that child.
Please go to : https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/tofromschool to complete the survey.
Responses are anonymous. Results by school and summary information will be made available to each school to publish.
If you have any questions, concern or other information you would like to share on school transportation, please email Alicia Bowman: pedestrian@newtonma.gov

A Thank you from Principal Harrison
Dear Parents and Guardians,
On behalf of the entire staff at Bigelow I want to thank you for the wonderful appreciation luncheon you served to us last Thursday, March 13. Once again the weather was wintry, but the PTO was undaunted, and your incredible generosity filled us with food and warmth for the rest of the day. Our gratitude to everyone who helped with the delicious food and beverages, the beautiful table decorations, the set-up and clean-up, and all the details of pulling together this event. And a special thanks to the coordinators, Maria Sullivan and Stacy Schwartz.
With appreciation,
Todd
Volunteer to lead SchoolKidz today!!
We will not be able to bring this program to the Bigelow Community if we can not find someone to lead the effort.
We are looking for someone to lead the SchoolKidz effort. SchoolKidz is the program through Staples that allows parents to pre order school supplies. School supplies are available for pick up the week before school starts and no trip to the store is required. This is a great service for families and it benefits your children through the PTO.
What does the SchoolKidz leader need to do? Coordinate the updating of supply lists with the school. Oversee the ordering by parents in May / June. Arrange a delivery day at the school in August. Organize the boxes and add the “special” items into the orders after delivery (we will get a few helpers for you.) Oversee distribution the morning of the Open House in August. This program is all done on line. We will help do all the advertising / PR. And the past SchoolKidz leader is available to go over everything with you.
Interested?? We need your help!! Please email bigelowbulldog@gmail.com
