Dear Needham Families: I hope you and your children are enjoying the summer weather! Allow me to share three brief updates: • Hillside and Mitchell The architects recently completed a prefeasibility study to review and consider options for renovating and/or replacing the Hillside and Mitchell elementary schools. You may download the final report shared with the School Committee last week by looking under the "News" section of the district's website: http://www.needham.k12.ma.us/ • Newman As a reminder, the Newman campus is closed this summer while the modular classrooms are removed and the school site is readied in preparation for the new school year. If you need to contact the Newman office, you may call: 781-455-0416 • Superintendent's Blog My recent posting is a salute to the Class of 2012: http://npssuperintendent.blogspot.com/ Enjoy the weeks ahead, Dan Gutekanst Superintendent of Schools 781.455.0400 x203 dan_gutekanst@needham.k12.ma.us
