This afternoon, a medical emergency occurred on CR 50 E approximately one mile north of SN’s campus. The situation required a Lifeline helicopter to land on school property.
While this incident did not involve SN school personnel, we wanted to be proactive and let our community know that our staff and students are safe.

South Newton schools plan to run on time on Monday, April 20, since power has been restored to most locations.

Please be advised that at the time of this message, 4pm Central Time, Sunday, April 19, County road 50 East, between 1200 South and 1300 South is closed due to down utility poles from the weekend storm that affected our area. Please seek alternate routes and allow extra time for travel.

Any students arriving a little late due to road closures may be exempt from being tardy due to the current conditions.

Our South Newton family safety is very important to us, so please be alert and watch for any road closures and debris that may still be on roadways when traveling in the morning.
