The School District of New Berlin and the SDNB Pandemic Response Team continue to develop and refine plans for the 2020-21 school year.  Our goal continues to be to have students in school for in-person instruction, five days a week, with a full distance learning option available to families who want or require it.

It is important to understand the health situation regarding COVID-19 continues to evolve; therefore, our plans continue to evolve.
