OCS Mobile APP
Parents in Onslow County have a closer link to what is happening in their child’s school.
The school district rolled its mobile application in April 2016. This app simplifies and personalizes information that OCS parents, staff and community members can access on-the-go.
The app is part of SchoolMessenger, the school’s web host provider. It is available for download, and is free, at the App Store and at Google Play. The app pulls information from the district website, school sites and social media feeds in order to keep information current. Users have the ability to customize the app so they only see information for the schools they are interested in. Through the app parents will also be able to access the Parent Portal, Student Portal, and alerts.
This is just one more way parents can stay up to date with news from their child’s school including the school menu, upcoming events and other information, and it can be downloaded free. The app aggregates messages and calendar dates from the district as well as selected schools, so parents can now access both system and school information in one place. Our parents with students in multiple schools can get the latest news from all locations in a single app.
“We are constantly working to enhance transparency and collaboration with our stakeholders, and this is an additional tool to support communication flow,” Superintendent Rick Stout said.
“We hope you will download the free app today.”
STEM ROARs
National Society of Black Engineers Jr.
The National Society of Black Engineers Jr. (NSBE Jr.) program is designed to stimulate the interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields, or STEM. The goal is to encourage students in grades K–12 to attend college and pursue technical degrees. Our NSBE Jr. program provides activities to help students discover firsthand how engineering and technology relate to the world around them and discover the excitement of academic excellence, leadership, technical development and teamwork.
Participate in NSBE Jr.’s programs by becoming a NSBE Jr member. NSBE Jr membership is available to all students in grades 6-12. Membership is only $5, but the level of exposure to engineering is priceless. We encourage you to participate with our chapter. We meet once a month in Mrs. Cobb's STEM Lab, room 906. Our next meeting is February 28th, 6:00-7:30pm. Every meeting is packed with valuable information, fun activities, and free food.

Social Worker
Hello
Meet Ms. Renee Jones, School Social Worker with Onslow County Schools. She serves Jacksonville Commons Elementary School, Jacksonville Commons Middle School and Northside High School. School Social Workers are trained mental health professionals with a degree in social work who provide services related to students’ social, emotional, and life adjustment to school and society. We are licensed by the Department of Public Instruction to work in the school environment. One of the primary roles of a School Social Worker is to provide outreach services to the homes; thus establishing a relationship between the home and school and serving as a link between the two, working with parents, guardians, teachers, and other school officials to ensure students reach their academic and personal potential. We analyze barriers to learning and achievement and develop and implement strategies to address and eliminate identified barriers to student learning. School Social Workers focus on consultation and collaboration with school staff to promote understanding and effective utilization of resources and services. School Social Workers help students increase academic success, improve interpersonal relationships, cope with crisis situations, learn problem-solving skills, improve attendance and build self-esteem. Jacksonville Commons Elementary is Ms. Jones base school.
Should you need her services, please do not hesitate to contact her at JCE.
