Greetings,

As your Board President and Superintendent, we are excited to share this first issue of FACE Forward. This new monthly eNewsletter is here to connect you to the Newburgh Enlarged City School District as a parent or family member. We want to keep you informed. We ask that you find the time to read through each publication to stay current on what's happening in the district and throughout the community.

This eNewsletter is one of a few ways we are working to improve communication with our community. As time progresses, we anticipate that FACE Forward will continue to grow with additional news and photo contributions from students and staff.

You can view the FACE Forward newsletter on the district's website, or sign-up here to receive it in your email. It will keep you informed about various resources and strategies for supporting your child's education. Thank you for your continued support.

Though the Work of All,
Carole Mineo
