First Day of Class
The first day of class at NEWTech, for the 2024-25 school year, will be on September 3rd, 2024.
We serve students from 11 different school districts. Unfortunately, the first day of school isn’t the same across all 11 school districts (see list below).
If your school district’s first day of school is after Sept 3rd, you are strongly encouraged to start attending your NEWTech class beginning Sept. 3rd. Most sending districts will not start providing school bus transportation to/from NEWTech prior to that district’s first day of school.
I you rely on school bus transportation and do not have any other means of transportation to get to/from NEWTech prior to your first day of school, you will not be penalized or marked absent for starting to attend your NEWTech class beginning on the first day of school for your school district.
If your school district’s first day of school is before Sept. 3rd, please inquire with your high school’s administration regarding where you should report during the periods your NEWTech class is scheduled.
