Dell Purchasing Program for OCS Families
Onslow County Schools are excited to extend the Dell Member Purchasing Program to our staff, students, and families. We have added a page on the IT website (link below) with the information needed to make a purchase and receive a discount. Anyone participating in the program will be dealing directly with Dell on the purchase. Discounts vary based upon the item being purchased and any specials that Dell may be running at the time.

Listen and Learn with Audio Books - FREE!
Audio books are a wonderful way to expose your child to complex language, expressive reading, and fantastic stories. Listening to audio books also gives kids the valuable and enjoyable experience of using their own imaginations to visualize the people and places they’re hearing about. Check out any of these sites to access free audio books for children!

Dismissal Process / Hand-to-Hand and Bus
Due to the new guidelines, we have been instructed to stagger our dismissal and to use multiple exits. To accommodate these guidelines, here is our Car pick-up process this year. Buses will be loaded after the car pick-ups.
Your pick-up number card needs to be clearly visible in your window when you come to pick up your child from school. Everyone has a unique number assigned in case your child is ever a pick-up. You will be asked to provide identification if you don’t have the pick-up card we sent you. If you have lost or need a new pick-up card, please let your child's teacher know.
Please arrive at your assigned time to ensure a smooth process. If you have students in multiple grades, please pick up all of your children at the younger student’s assigned time/place.
3:00:
- Kindergarten: (pick-up line on the cafeteria side of the school- the same place as morning drop-off)
- 1st – Grade: (pick-up line in front of the school)
3:30:
- 2nd – Grade: (pick-up line on the cafeteria side of the school- the same place as morning drop-off)
- 3rd – Grade: (pick-up line in front of the school)
3:45:
- 4th – Grade: (pick-up line on the cafeteria side of the school- the same place as morning drop-off)
- 5th – Grade: (pick-up line in front of the school)
Again,
- Please arrive at your assigned time and location for pick-ups
- Have your assigned number card visible in your car window
- Older siblings will be picked up along at their younger sibling’s location/time
Thank you
