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.
