NPCSD Community Update
November 6, 2020
Since our last update we have been in the final stages of preparation for the return of our students to campus. Teachers will be returning to their buildings on Monday 11/9. This week we worked with the Ulster BOCES communications department on a video that outlines our safety protocols, it will be made available at the start of the week. The video will provide you with a guide to navigating our facilities this school year. In addition to the procedures now in place, you will also get to see some of the changes made in our classrooms as well as other areas of the buildings.

The Road to Returning: Community Update on the Reopening of Schools
October 30, 2020
This week was a flurry of activity as we continued moving the many pieces into place in order to finalize the reopening plans that will be presented to you on November 4.
Since our last update on Wednesday, a group of three classes has returned to our buildings for in-person learning. Some of our teachers are also already working in their classrooms.
The Road to Returning: Community Update on the Reopening of Schools
October 28, 2020
Today, our principals and several other administrators went to Ulster BOCES and spent the day examining some of the scheduling issues that have been obstacles to reopening our buildings for in-person learning. District Superintendent Dr. Charles Khoury and Deputy Superintendent Dr. Jonah Schenker led a discussion focused on how we can get our students back to in-person learning with the least amount of disruption, which includes allowing them to remain in their current classroom learning communities in which they have been members of since September.
The Road to Returning: Community Update on the Reopening of Schools
October 26, 2020
Moving forward, both the Board of Education and Superintendent Urbina-Medina will ensure that frequent communication is shared to keep parents and our community apprised of the progress made towards reopening our buildings for in-person learning. At minimum, two to three brief updates will be provided each week, with additional messages released whenever there is new information available. This information will be shared on our website and parents will receive alerts from the schools’ automated messaging system. They will also be linked to our District Facebook page.
