Please contact NES to get your student's confidential Web ID and password then scan the QR code or click on the link below to be directed to the Parent Portal website. Instructions for creating an account are provided here and on the district website (www.newberry.k12.sc.us) under the Parent section.

IMPORTANT UPDATE
The Parent/Guardian Toolkit has been updated. The most recent changes are within the section about masks, especially masks with exhalation valves or vents. The changes state: 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.
These type masks will not be allowed starting Monday, August 31, for staff or students.

Parents of students in the School District of Newberry County are asked to complete one questionnaire per child to determine how they would like their child to return to school for the 2020-2021 school year.

Option 2 is for parents who wish to have their child participate in the Newberry ONE Institute for eLearning, a completely online option for a semester at a time.
The questionnaire can be found at https://bit.ly/SDNCLearningPref and must be submitted prior to midnight on July 28, 2020.
