Q&A Document
Retrieving Items from School
How will students retrieve personal items from the school (medicine, notebooks, book bags, band equipment, lunch boxes etc.)?
School nurses will contact parents of students who have medication remaining at schools to make arrangements for the pickup of those items. Each school principal is notifying parents of the schedule to retrieve personal items from school. Parents should check the school website and reach out to the principal if they have questions. Also, principals will provide a School Messenger call with specific directions. See below for general schedule:

School Nutrition Program
Will funds on school meal accounts be available next year?
All school nutrition household balances are carried over to the next school year.
Will I get a refund on the money I have in my child’s lunch account?
All school nutrition household balances are carried over to the next school year. Parents or guardians unsure of their balances and/or requesting a refund are required to submit an email to
snprefunds@newton.k12.ga.us
. In the email, please include the following information:
1. A short statement requesting a refund
2. Parent(s) or Guardian(s) names
3. Current household address
4. Student(s) names
5. Student(s) enrolled schools
All refund requests are processed within two weeks of email request. Checks will be sent via USPS mail to the current address provided in the email request.
After School Program
Will I get a refund on the money I have in my child’s afterschool account?
Yes. Refunds have to be issued individually to over 800 accounts. Parents will receive a refund to their account by 4/17/2020.
Assignments/Grades/Promotion & Retention
How will students be graded for the work they complete through distance learning?
Grades will be recorded if the grades improve a student's average. Submitted assignments and grades will be used as evidence of student learning and mastery.
How will NCSS calculate student's final grades?
Kindergarten:
Kindergarten students will continue to be assessed using the Kindergarten Report Card (GKIDS)
Grades 1-5:
Students will not receive a grade for the 4th quarter. They will receive a Pass/Fail based on their 3rd quarter grade, which will lead to a Pass/Fail for second semester and a Pass/Fail for their final grade.
Students should use the work packets and online learning experiences to improve their 3rd quarter grades.
Grades 6-8:
Students will receive a numerical grade for middle school courses. Every effort will be provided to students, who were not passing at the second semester 9-week progress reporting period, to improve their grade. If the grade for the end of 2nd semester is lower than the 2nd semester 9-week progress grade, then the 2nd semester 9-week progress grade will post as the final grade for 2nd semester. If the grade for the end of 2nd semester is higher than the 2nd semester 9-week progress grade, then the end of the 2nd semester grade will post as the final grade.
Grades 9-12:
High school courses will be reported as numerical grades for the purpose of GPA calculations. All students enrolled in high school courses must post a numerical grade of 70% or higher to receive credit for the course. As a district, during COVID-19, we have adopted a “Hold Harmless” grading philosophy. “Hold Harmless” means that a student’s fourth 9-weeks grade cannot decrease the third 9-weeks grade.
Students are encouraged to continue improving their overall GPA for post-secondary options and scholarships.
Local high schools will monitor the academic progress of all seniors to ensure that they remain on track for graduation.
How will schools determine promotion/retention?
Grades K-5:
Students will not be retained for the 2019-2020 school year unless they were identified as retention candidates prior to March 13th. Students in need of additional support will participate in targeted intervention in the 2020-2021 school year. Communication in the form of a letter and/or final report card will be sent to parents.
Grades 6-8:
If the student receives a final grade below 70%, the school's principal will consider the evidence of first semester grades, third quarter progress, and distant learning work to make the final decision for promotion/retention of a student. Every effort will be provided to students, who were not passing at the second semester progress reporting period, to improve their grade. Communication in the form of a letter and/or final report card will be sent to parents.
Grades 9 -12:
High school courses will be reported as numerical grades for the purpose of GPA calculations. All students enrolled in high school courses must post a numerical grade of 70% or higher to receive credit for the course. In order to be classified as a sophomore, junior or senior, students must meet the specified credit requirements which can be found in the 2019-2020 Student Handbook.
Since school has been cancelled, do students have to complete their assignments?
Though we are not in the physical school building, school continues. The last day of school is May 22, 2020.
Teachers will continue to provide students with assignments which will be accepted until May 15, 2020.
How do I return my student's work packets?
Each school will have containers outside their building where instructional work should be deposited. It is also appropriate to take a picture or scan the assignments to be emailed to the appropriate teacher.
High School Specific Questions
How do I find out if my child is selected for STEM or ALANHS?
The date for notification for the STEM and the ALANHS programs has been extended. All candidates will be notified on April 24th.
Will students have a Prom?
All high schools will host their proms on July 18. Each school will provide additional information to students as soon as possible.
Will students have a graduation ceremony?
We intend to host a virtual Commencement Ceremony for each high school on Saturday, May 23, 2020, followed by an “in-person” Commencement Ceremony hosted at each school on August 1, 2020 (times will be communicated.) Should the August 1, 2020 Commencement Ceremonies not be possible due to continued health guidelines and requirements, the alternate date is scheduled for December 19, 2020 at each high school. We will continue to monitor updates from our state leaders, Georgia Department of Public Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Newton County Board of Health to ensure our plans comply with health guidelines and recommendations.
How will seniors receive their diplomas?
Diplomas will be distributed during the week of May 26, 2020 should conditions permit. We will continue to monitor updates from our state leaders, Georgia Department of Public Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Newton County Board of Health to ensure our plans comply with health guidelines. Directions for picking up diplomas will be provided by each school at a later date.
How will seniors receive their caps and gowns?
Jostens will host Outdoor/Drive-Thru deliveries for seniors who have paid their account. The dates were previously scheduled in April; however, due to the shelter-in-place Executive Order, the delivery date for caps and gowns will be rescheduled. Information regarding the dates and pick up times will be provided by each high school.
How do we get refunds for senior/junior dues?
Senior and junior dues cover a variety of activities and items throughout the year. Refunds will vary from school to school. Therefore, each high school will communicate with juniors and seniors the amount (if any) that will be refunded. Should you have questions, please contact your school principal.
When will sophomore class ring ordering take place?
The spring ring presentation for current sophomores will be rescheduled for the fall with delivery in the winter.
Newton County Theme School
Will parent volunteer hours be waived at the theme school for the 2020 school year?

Special Education
Can we conduct virtual IEP meetings for students with disabilities?
Teachers will participate in training the week of April 13th to conduct virtual IEP meetings. The priority for IEP meetings is as follows: Summary of Performance meetings (seniors who are graduating or not returning in FY21, Special Needs PreK to Kindergarten, 5th to 6th grade, and 8th to 9th grade). The GaDOE has waived timelines for IEP meetings and current IEPs will not expire. If additional IEP meetings are needed, a determination will be made on a case-by-case basis.
Will students with disabilities receiving speech and other related services, receive those services during this time?
All Speech and Related Services (OT, PT, APE) will begin April 20th. Service Providers will participate in training the week of April 13th using WebEx Meetings to provide these services to students. Suggested activities were sent to parents the week of March 16th in an effort to provide additional support until direct services could be provided.
What if a child has already been evaluated for special education consideration, but the eligibility meeting has not been held?
For those students who have completed the evaluation and are awaiting an eligibility meeting, within the coming weeks, meetings will be scheduled. Teachers will participate in training the week of April 13th for conducting virtual IEP/eligibility meetings. We will focus on those meetings that must be held prior to the FY21 school year. These meetings include Summary of Performance (seniors exiting) and transition meetings (SNPK to Kindergarten, 5th to 6th, and 8th to 9th). Once these meetings have been conducted, our focus will turn to eligibility meetings.
Counseling
My child is struggling with disappointment right now, what do I do?
Students:
