September is National Literacy Month, a time to encourage each other to pick up a good book, and explore new worlds. A small amount of reading each day makes an incredible difference! #KidsAreOurCustomers #LiteracyMonth

Due to Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) laws, we are unable to post classroom rosters on our website and social media platforms. Teachers will be notifying you directly via phone or email regarding your child’s classroom assignments. Please remember the first two weeks are largely intended as an orientation period, in part to ensure that students have what they need to learn online. Together, we can do this! #KidsAreOurCustomers

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
