NTAG Investigation Stations
An After School Enrichment Opportunity
The Newton Community School District NTAG Department is pleased to announce NTAG Investigation Stations. This is an after school program that will meet once a week beginning in January 12th. At Investigation Stations, students will have an opportunity to participate in an interest-area station and learn something new. Students will be able to choose a new station each week. This program is open to NTAG students throughout the district, grades 4 through 6, so it will be a great opportunity to interact with similar-ability peers while taking part in unique learning opportunities.
NTAG Investigation Stations will be held at Aurora Heights Elementary in the gym. It will be held from 3:30 p.m.-5:00 p.m. on Mondays. A snack will be provided upon arrival to Aurora Heights.
Investigation Stations will be offered the following dates:
Monday, January 12th Monday, February 9th
Monday, January 19th Monday, February 16th (if we have school this day)
Monday, February 2nd Monday, March 2nd
The school district will offer busing from Woodrow Wilson to Aurora Heights. It will be the parents’ responsibility to pick up students by 5:00 from Aurora Heights. Please pick them up using the bus lane on the north end of the building.
Please review the dates, and fill out the attached permission slip if your child is interested in participating in NTAG Investigation Stations. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact one of the NTAG teachers.
The permission slip must be returned by Wednesday, January 8th.
