Our Approach

Newburgh Enlarged City School District is committed to making the soundest decisions regarding our reopening, and we strongly believe in making those decisions based on science. Our approach is comprehensive in nature and it is informed by what we see happening internationally as well as by national guidance, state guidance, and local decisions.

NECSD strives to safely return students to the physical schoolhouse, but we recognize that doing so can only be done safely. This website is designed to inform parents and employees of the plans for reopening our school campuses. On this site, you can view the guiding documents that we considered in creating our reopening plan and familiarize yourself with the options for returning to school.

OUR FOUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES

1
Ensure the safety and wellness of scholars, faculty and staff.
2
Deliver high-quality instruction to students, regardless of delivery model.
3
Be open to changing policies that don’t work

4
Plan for progress, not perfection

REOPENING

OUR SCHOOL

BUILDINGS

The safety of our school community is our top priority. During planning we have made sure to include all aspects of the school experience and what safety precautions would have to be taken for each. These include teaching and learning, social-emotional learning, exceptional learners, transportation, facilities, food service, health and wellness, ELLs, school security, and more.
