Immunization Reminder: Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 7th Grade students are required to have updated immunizations prior to starting school on August 17th even though we are beginning the year virtually. Additionally, rising Seniors are now required to have the meningococcal (Menactra) vaccine. September 15th is the deadline to submit your child’s records to their respective school nurse. This is especially important because when we do return to in-person instruction, they will not be allowed to return without the proper documentation. Appointments may be made with the Halifax County Health Department or your child's pediatrician. #KidsAreOurCustomer #BackToSchool

Pre-K Update:
May 11-13th, Parents who participated in round 1 registration on March 13th can stop by Clara Hearne between the hours of 9 and 12 to drop off needed paperwork to complete their child's Pre-K registration. A school employee will meet them at the door to retrieve the needed paperwork. Parents should bring us copies to keep and not the originals. The completion of the registration process is not guaranteed acceptance.
Those who did not attend on March 13th, but are interested in registering their child for next year cannot register during this week. They will need to be on the lookout for a registration day later this summer. #KidsAreOurCustomers

Please Share: May 5 is Teacher Appreciation Day. During this time of crisis, our educators have acted as a “Lighthouse” for our students and their families, serving as beacons of light and hope and helping them safely navigate the educational challenges related to COVID-19.
Let’s show our teachers how much we appreciate their love and unwavering commitment to North Carolina’s public schools by placing a light in a window or turning on an outdoor light at 8:20 p.m. on Tuesday, May 5 for 20 minutes. Please share your photos with us using the hashtag #NCLighthouseLeaders. Teachers, thank you for lighting the way for learning for North Carolina’s K-12 students. #NCLighthouseLeaders #KidsAreOurCustomers
