K-8th grade parents

Welcome to Newberry!

We are happy to have your child enrolled in our school.

The attached guide is a handbook for families who are new to Newberry Academy.  Information includes a brief history of our school, our mission and curriculum focus, in additional to useful information for answering basic and frequently asked questions.  While it is not necessarily a comprehensive guide to all Newberry’s policies and procedures, the handbook is intended to provide helpful information for parents and students.
