We are starting our second year at Newton-Lee and couldn't be more happy with the teachers, communication, and quality of education. When my children share what they are learning, they sound excited and proud of their accomplishments. The teachers meet the student where they are and are not willing to settle even if a child is excelling in an area. We are lucky to have teachers that are proactively looking to keep challenging the students. I also really appreciate the focus on social and emotional intelligence. Much of this was lost during the pandemic years, and it is nice to see the school supporting the whole child. There is also a strong focus on emotional wellbeing and anti-bullying. I feel like my children are being well equipped to succeed. Additionally, I truly appreciate the opportunity for parents to get engaged and build a partnership with the staff and teachers at the school. Finally, while it would be helpful to consolidate the channels of communication into one source/app, it is really great how much communication we receive from the school - weekly newsletters from the teachers and principal along with daily updates in the form of pictures/class communications and hand written notes. Newton-Lee has a very welcoming atmosphere, and we really appreciate everyone at the school.

The Principal at this school is amazing! He genuinely cares about his students and staff. The School Resource officer and School Security officer are on top of things. All four Assistant Principal's stayed involved in the school and try to make connections with students. My kids have gone here for the past 6 years. I would not pick any other high school in the area over Stone Bridge. "Go Bulldogs!"

Trailside Middle School is awesome. Despite its socially infamous name, "Jailside", it is a really great school. Some kids say that it is horrible and who likes middle school, but I disagree. There are rules in place, and if you don't break them, you don't get in trouble. Those rules are there to protect us and keep us safe, from physical things and even social media. "Off and away" is what teachers tell us when we have our phones out. Let me make this clear: school is not a place for your device and you should have it for safety and communication reasons only. Same with your chromebook, except it's for learning purposes. TMS is very inclusive to students, and has honors classes for those who learn on a higher level. In 7th and 8th grade, you get course selections like music, art, and a language. I love being at TMS, and hope that everyone else does too!
