In addition, because the Newton Public Schools has received a number of questions about the state of the elementary school facilities. Dr. Fleishman’s office has posted a video on the District News section that offers a virtual tour of the Angier, Cabot and Zervas Elementary Schools and hope it will provide helpful information to our community members. It can be found at: http://www3.newton.k12.ma.us/news/facilitiestour
