NEWCASTLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS / From the desk of Dr. Cathy Walker
Hello Racers Families, I am writing to inform you of several important updates to the school calendar related to recent snow days and upcoming parent conferences.
To make up for the two snow days, school will be in session on Friday, February 20 and Friday, March 27. Additionally, the previously scheduled virtual learning day on Thursday, February 26 will now be an in-person school day.
As a result of these calendar adjustments, parent conference dates and times have been updated. Parent conferences will now be held on: Tuesday, February 24, 2026 Thursday, February 26, 2026 Conference times by site are as follows: High School and Middle School: 3 p.m. – 6 p.m. Early Childhood Center (ECC): 4:15 p.m. – 7:15 p.m. Elementary School: 4:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. Please note that any additional days missed will also need to be made up.
Thank you for your flexibility and understanding as we make these necessary adjustments to ensure instructional time is maintained. If you have any questions, please contact your school office for additional information.
