Newtown Board of Education & Police

Dear Newtown High School Student & Parents,

Over the last week there has been an increase in student aggression at Newtown High School. In response to the incident last week we increased our security presence throughout the building, particularly in shared spaces and bathrooms. Today, this approach was able to quickly identify an altercation that took place related to last week's event. Security and administration responded immediately and all students were quickly identified. In collaboration with the Newtown Police Department consequences were issued. 

The behavior that was demonstrated by some Newtown students over the past week is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Newtown High School will continue to issue consequences as established in the student handbook as well as recommend the involvement of Newtown Police to enforce all applicable laws.
