Elementary Selection Information for Children Entering Kindergarten
Welcome to Goldback Nation! It is the time of year in which families of all future Kindergarteners need to make a choice for elementary school. The ¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵ District currently has seven elementary schools and two K-8 schools. Additional information about the schools and their various programs can be found on our ¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵ website newburghschools.org.
This year, elementary school selection for Kindergarten students will take place utilizing our Parent Portal via survey that will be open from January 8, 2024 through April 19, 2024. There are directions below based on various categories. Please follow the instructions for the section that best fits your needs.
Important things to note:
- Once choices are made, all students are entered into a school selection process.
- Once choices are made, we are unable to make changes.
- You will receive the results (via USPS mail and on your Parent Portal account) of the selection mid-July if you submit prior to April 19, 2024. If you submit after the deadline you may not have a placement by the first day of school.
