Newberry Community School Announces Feb. 1 Enrollment Start

NEWBERRY — Enrollment for the inaugural 2026 school year at Newberry Community School will open Feb. 1, school officials announced this week, marking a major milestone as the new elementary school prepares to welcome its first students.

Families with elementary students currently enrolled at Newberry Elementary School will be guaranteed a seat at Newberry Community School for the upcoming school year. However, parents must formally accept their child’s placement during the enrollment period to secure enrollment.

As preparations continue for the school’s first year, Principal Lacy Roberts said staffing efforts are already underway. Teaching positions are being filled by experienced educators and high-achieving education professionals focused on academic excellence, student growth and strong community values.

In addition to student enrollment, Newberry Community School is seeking volunteers and engaged parents to support its inaugural year. Opportunities are available for those interested in assisting in classrooms, helping with school events and participating in community-building initiatives.

Families interested in enrolling a child can visit the school’s website, ncsedu.org, beginning Feb. 1. Parents and community members who wish to volunteer are encouraged to contact Roberts or visit the Little Red Schoolhouse in Newberry for more information.

The Newberry Community School office is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Questions can be directed to the school office at 352-474-2040.
