Happy New Year from Newcomer Academy!

Dear Newcomer Academy Families,

Happy New Year!
We hope you and your family are having a good winter break. We are happy to welcome students back to school on January 5, 2026.  While time spent relaxing and celebrating with family and friends is a priority during the break, please be sure to encourage our Newcomer Academy students to read from time to time - practice is always helpful!
