Our Fall Book Fair is here! You can start ordering books online now. See below for the website and the eFair code. Please email me (Stemplin@newberry.k12.sc.us) with any questions. Books will be shipped to the school and sent home with your child. In person Book Fair dates will be November 5th through the 13th. We are doing a “no touch” book fair this year.

SDNC Masks Update: Effective beginning September 1- No more masks with exhalation valves or vents. The purpose of masks is to keep respiratory droplets from reaching others to aid with source control. Masks with one-way valves or vents allow exhaled air to be expelled out through holes in the material. This can allow exhaled respiratory droplets to reach others and potentially spread the COVID-19 virus. Therefore, CDC does not recommend using masks if they have an exhalation valve or vent. If needed, the school will have a disposable mask to give to students until a new mask can be purchased. All students were given a cloth mask which can still be used.
