Enrollment Opens Feb. 1 For Newberry Community School

NEWBERRY – Enrollment for the inaugural 2026 school year at Newberry Community School will officially open Feb. 1, as the new elementary school prepares to welcome its first group of students.

Families with elementary students currently enrolled at Newberry Elementary School are guaranteed a seat 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, Newberry Community School is assembling its instructional staff. Teaching positions are being filled by veteran educators and high-achieving education professionals focused on academic excellence, student growth and strong community values.

The school will be led by Lacy Roberts, who will serve as Newberry Community School’s principal. Roberts will oversee the launch of the school and its academic and community initiatives during its first year of operation.

In addition to student enrollment, the school is seeking volunteers and engaged parents interested in supporting classrooms, school events and community-building initiatives.

Families interested in enrolling a child may visit the school’s website, ncsedu.org, beginning Feb. 1 for enrollment information. Parents and community members interested in volunteering are encouraged to contact Roberts or visit the Little Red Schoolhouse in Newberry for additional details.

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

Newberry Community School is scheduled to open for its inaugural academic year in 2026.
