Administrative offices and most operations at New Rochelle High School have been moved to House 4 until late July while crews ramp up construction and replace electrical switchgear equipment in other areas of the building.
Most NRHS summer school classes have been moved to Albert Leonard Middle School at 25 Gerada Lane. There will be shuttle bus service from NRHS to ALMS for summer school classes. The buses will leave from North Avenue by the Huguenot Children's Library (near Eastchester Road) on the following schedule: 8:00, 10:00 and 12:00. Buses will leave ALMS at 10:30, 12:30 and 2:30, returning to North Avenue.
Other NRHS business, including picking up transcripts, will take place in House 4, where internet service and phone lines have been re-routed.
House 4 will also be the temporary home of the District’s re-registration process, which begins this summer with incoming ninth-graders.
Power was turned off in most of the building on June 26 to allow crews to replace the equipment. The work is part of Phase II of the $106.5 million bond project approved by voters in 2016. The $46 million phase is on course to be completed later this year.
Access to House 4 is off North and Braemar avenues or from the end of Flandreau Avenue. The building’s main entrance at 265 Clove Road is temporarily closed to the staff and the general public.
The NRHS administrative office can still be reached at (914) 576-4500.
For questions on the construction, contact Director of Facilities Carl Thurnau, cthurnau@nredlearn.org, (914) 576-4222.

Dear Ward students and families,
I'm very excited to announce the upcoming opening of "Gabrielle's Playground" which is now complete and will be open to Ward students beginning next week!
The playground was built in memory of Ward student, Gabrielle White. Gabrielle, a seven-year-old second grader in the CILA program at Ward, lost her life in June 2017.
The best-in-class playground is at the front of the school. It includes equipment accessible to children of all abilities, musical elements, and art elements. Gabrielle's mother, Michelle Hord-White, worked closely with school and community officials to carefully select pieces that reflected her daughter's love for friendship, sharing, music, and butterflies.
Information about the various philanthropic projects happening all over the world in Gabrielle's memory can be found on the Gabrielle's Wings website: http://gabrielleswings.org/press

William B. Ward Elementary school recently held it's Read-A-Thon Opening Celebration. Teachers helped students build enthusiasm for reading. Students will be tracking the amount of time engaged in reading throughout the month of November. Last year students read 2,500,000 minutes. The school has set a new challenge goal of 2,650,000 minutes of reading for this year. We look forward to hearing about all the wonderful places our books take us. Where will students let their minds and imaginations travel to through books? Perhaps they will travel to Hogwarts, the moon, to walk in the time of dinosaurs, and even perhaps a galaxy far, far away
William B. Ward Elementary School is located in New Rochelle, New York. A strong academic program not only stresses mastery of basic skills - reading, writing, and mathematics - but includes a comprehensive social studies program and an in-depth inquiry based science program. Our school also offers Dual Language and FLES instruction in grades K through five. These enrichment programs provide students with the opportunity to learn a second language.
Ward Elementary School recently celebrated its beautifully refurbished library with a ribbon-cutting by Superintendent Dr. Brian Osborne and Principal Franco Miele, plus students, parents, teachers and administrators. The library's brand new look was made possible by the school's more than 1,000 grade K-5 students who read 1,487,477 minutes and raised almost $44,000 during PTA-led Read-a-thons. Great job, everyone!
