Update: November 3, 2021.....Board Members have approved making November 12th a Day of Reflection and Wellness. It is now designated as a non-required workday for staff. Schools will be closed to students on Friday November 12th.
FACE COVERINGS: School Board Members also voted to change the Face Covering Protocols to optional for all students and staff, effective immediately inside school buildings. Per CDC guidelines, Masks are still required on school buses. Additionally, should the positivity rate at any given school reach 10%, the mask requirement would go back into effect at that individual school.
Update: October 26, 2021****** NC Check-Ins are interim assessments that are aligned to North Carolina grade-level content standards (for Reading and Mathematics) and North Carolina Essential Standards (for Science). The main purpose of NC Check-Ins is to provide students, teachers, and parents with immediate in-depth action data and a reliable estimate of students’ current performance on selected subsets of content standards. Both the end-of-grade (EOG) and end-of course (EOC) tests share a common question bank with the NC Check-Ins, which then exposes NC Check-In students to similar question types and rigor found on the EOGs and EOCs. The NC Check-In administration dates are as follows:
Reading- November 2, 2021
Math - November 3, 2021
Science- November 4, 2021
If you have questions or concerns about the NC Check-Ins, please contact Thomas Quinlan at
