SCHOOL STARTS MONDAY, AUGUST 23rd & WE ARE SOOOO EXCITED!!!
- Doors open at 7:40 am and Late bell rings at 8:00 am.
- Parents are allowed to walk their child to their class during the first week only.
- Kindergarten students will have a staggered first day of school - you should have received a letter on which day your kindergartener will come - Monday, Tuesday, OR Wednesday at 8:30 am. All Kindergarteners will come on Thursday.
- Arrival is similar to last year with walkers who walk by the bike rack, entering school through the cafeteria and those walking on the sidewalk (please do not cut through the grass) leading to the breezeway/multi-purpose room (MPR), enter in the side door.
- Dismissal will be at 3:00 pm, however, we will start a little earlier this first week to allow students to practice the new routines. It will be slightly different from last year. K-2 students cannot walk/ride bike home alone. They must be picked up by a parent/person indicated on student information card OR can walk home with a sibling who is in 3rd-5th grade. Pick-up for hand-hand walkers will be located in the breezeway by the auditorium/MPR. If coming from the parking lot, please use the crosswalk as cars will be in motion through the car rider line. Please also encourage walkers to go to the crossing guards to cross the street to and from school. All other walkers/bike riders who are not hand-hand, will exit out of the cafeteria.
- Parents should have yellow/gold transportation tag to pick up their child in the car rider line or as a hand-hand walker. If you did not pick these up during orientation, please make sure you do that before dismissal on your child's first day.
- Staff will be escorting students to the buses to maintain safety and ensure students get on the correct bus.
- If you have not informed your child's teacher on how your child is getting home the first day, please do so - you can email them (email is located on their school webpage) or email Mrs. Dalimonte at cathy.dalimonte@onslow.k12.nc.us.
- As of today's OCS all call, staff, students and visitors are strongly recommended to wear a cloth face covering due to the recent rise in COVID cases. For more information, check out our OCS Protocols for COVID - https://www.onslow.k12.nc.us/Domain/9308
