The 2025-2026 school year in Newton will begin Monday, August 25th and the District’s staffing for it is nearly complete. Superintendent Tom Messinger says only a few positions still need to be filled.

“We are in really good shape with the hiring. We are down to a couple of positions we are working on filling. But we do know we are short a few bus drivers yet, and we will be looking to get those filled.”

Messenger says some new staff members have already been in to fill out paperwork. The Newton Superintendent adds paraeducator assignments are now being made based on student schedules and needs. The new school year will open with three days of 90 minute early dismissals for all Newton schools, Monday, August 25th through Wednesday, August 27th.
