What to expect the first days of school

Welcome Back to the 2021-2022 School Year at Nebinger Elementary!

After the last year of functioning in a fully virtual, and then hybrid setting we are excited to return to five full days of in-person instruction in the building. I can speak for the entire Nebinger Staff in saying we are thrilled to have our students back in the building for face-to-face learning. I want to ensure you, due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic we will continue to implement mitigation measures as established by SDP. This will include the requirement for all students to wear masks while indoors and on the buses, social distancing of at least 3 feet between students where practicable, and regular handwashing and/or access to hand sanitizers.

This year we will renew our commitment to excellence in all that we do, as we seek to provide world-class instruction daily with the expectation that all students can learn and succeed. I am excited about all that this new school year has to offer and look forward to working collectively to ensure that our students are provided with the best educational experience possible.

Please be sure to complete all digital forms located on our school website under digital mailer on the homepage.
