Dec 23-Jan 3 - No School, Winter Break! Mon, Jan 6 - Classes Resume @ 8:35am

As a reminder, winter break will be held Monday, December 23, to Friday, January 3. To help make sure you and your children have a restful break, we have asked that no homework be assigned during this time. Teachers may assign long-range assignments in the weeks ahead of the break, allowing students to practice time management skills, but no assignments will be due immediately following the break. We look forward to welcoming students back in the new year.

The Newington Forest Elementary main office will also be closed throughout winter break.

Classes resume on Monday, Jan. 6, 2025. See the complete school year calendar.
