Calling All Pirates!
Don't forget that Wednesday morning all students will have their live Teams sessions and in the afternoon please encourage your child to join our live Art & Counseling Teams session. The enrichment sessions are not required, but they sure are lots of fun. We hope everyone can join us! Don't forget that there are only 2 more Virtual Wednesdays. Spring Break is March 29- April 2. When we return from Spring Break, students will attend school 5 days a week (M-F).
This Friday is Sweeter Things Ice Cream Shack Spirit Night (afterschool–8:00 pm) and don't forget to keep scanning those box tops. Check out the Box Tops section in our newsletter to find ways that you can earn bonus Box Tops. Every little bit truly adds up! Lastly, tonight the Swansboro community will be celebrating a Night of Hope. We are asking everyone in our community to participate by turning their porch light on at 8pm as a symbol of hope, light, and love to others. We hope you will join us in letting your light shine!

Note from Nurse Sammons:
If you OR your child has a fever of over 100, a new cough, shortness of breath, loss of taste or smell or you are being quarantined per medical advice or are being Covid tested per medical request PLEASE email the Nurse or call the school. We must clear your child per OCS protocol before they return on the bus or return to in person school. Nurse Sammons email is Mollie.Sammons@onslow.k12.nc.us.

Covid close contacts
When a student tests positive for Covid-19, we conduct contact tracing and all students that are identified as a close contact (within 6 ft of the positive person for more than 15 minutes) receive a personal phone call from the school nurse or principal to inform the parent that their child has been identified as a close contact and are required to quarantine for 14 days from date of potential exposure. This is in accordance with OCS policy and the Strong Schools NC Public Health Toolkit.
