MORNING ARRIVAL PROCEDURES

MAIN OFFICE/VISITOR PROCEDURES

Visitors: All visitors are required to use our our service window to take care of a good deal of school business items (dropping of and picking up forms, lunches, dismissals, etc.) We are also asking you please limit early dismissals or late arrivals for essential reasons only. Due to our own dismissal procedures, we are unable to dismiss your child between 2:30 and 2:55. Please pick up your child prior to 2:30 if they have an afternoon appointment. For early dismissal, please email mkoffice@npsct.org or call (860) 666-5418, prior to picking up your child(ren).

Any visitors that need to enter our building will be required to provide identification, undergo background check through our visitor management system, and wear a visitor's badge during their visit. Thank you in advance for your cooperation with our security protocols.

PARENTSQUARE

Newington Public Schools uses ParentSquare for district and school communication, primarily with email, text and app notifications. ParentSquare automatically generates an account for each parent, using their preferred email address and phone number on file with your student’s school. We encourage parents to access their accounts so they can download the mobile app and update their preferences on when and how they are notified.

Here’s what you can do with ParentSquare:

Receive messages from the school via email, text or app notification
Choose to receive information as it comes or all at once daily
Communicate in your preferred language
Comment on school postings to engage in your school community
Direct message teachers and staff
Participate in group messages
Sign up for parent-teacher conferences

In addition to routine information, the notification system will also be used to notify you when your child is marked absent from school. Emergency broadcasts will be sent to the primary phone number and all guardian contact numbers. For more information, visit www.bit.ly/NPSparentsquare.

IMPORTANT MESSGAGE FROM NHS ATHLETICS

Important message for any middle school students interested in attending Newington High School Football games:

Any middle school student must be accompanied by an adult in order to purchase a ticket and enter the facility for any future Newington Football game. Midde school students who are not with a parent, will be required to leave the premises.

As a reminder, there are no backpacks allowed in the facility and there is a no re-entry policy.

We greatly appreciate the support of all of our fans who come to watch the games and support the student athletes who spend many hours preparing for the events and look forward to your continued support
