Newfield CSD is launching a new mobile app to help
students, parents, and community members know
what is happening on campus from their phones.
Most families use their phones as a primary means of
communication, so we've created an app that is
custom-built to your school for smartphones. On the
app, your students, parents, and community can read
the latest announcements, locate staff contact
information, review upcoming events, and find
important documents. The Newfield CSD app is
available to download free from the Apple App Store
or the Google Play store.
1. Stay up-to-date with school announcements
2. Learn about upcoming events
3. Access needed contact information quickly
Rosie the Therapy dog can be seen in the Elementary School each day. She is a registered therapy dog through Therapy Dogs International and has been visiting and bringing joy to student since Ms. Gillette joined the district.
Therapy Dogs International (TDI®) is a volunteer organization dedicated to regulating, testing and registration of therapy dogs and their volunteer handlers for the purpose of visiting nursing homes, hospitals, other institutions and wherever else therapy dogs are needed.
To belong to Therapy Dogs International (TDI®) all dogs must be tested and evaluated by a Certified TDI Evaluator. A dog must be a minimum of one (1) year of age and have a sound temperament. Each dog must pass a TDI temperament evaluation for suitability to become a Therapy Dog. The test will also include the evaluation of the dog’s behavior around people with the use of some type of service equipment (wheelchairs, crutches, etc.).
The students and our Newfield family love Rosie and look forward to many years of hugs and kisses, wags, and smiles from our therapy dog!
The Tompkins County Farm Bureau came to visit on May 27 and presented their Fuel Up to Play Program. Students participated in an obstacle course, received a dairy coloring book, and enjoyed some chocolate milk. The students were also able to meet the Tompkins County Dairy Court and Strawberry the calf.
Did you know that there was a creamery that once stood where the Newfield Elementary School is today? Wagon loads of milk were taken from Barnes Hill and Irish Hill to be sold in Ithaca and Cayuta every day. (credit: Newfield Historical Society).
