VIRTUAL SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR : MAR. 16 - MAR. 29
Our Book Fair is online and helps our students discover new books, favorite characters, and more! Every purchase earns our school rewards for much needed resources. Plus, shipping is free on book-only purchases over $25.
Thank you for instilling a love of reading and supporting our Book Fair
Auditions are now open for the 2021 VIRTUAL Talent Show. Please check out the flier in our weekly Smore Newsletter and make sure that all auditions are submitted by April 9th (no exceptions). Tomorrow report cards will go home with all students. Please sign and return the envelope the report card is yours to keep. Tuesday is Pizza Hut's spirit night, so grab dinner from Pizza Hut Tuesday and help raise money for our school.
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 PE & Music Teams session. This will be our last virtual enrichment session, so I hope everyone can join us! Don't forget that this is our last Virtual Wednesday. Spring Break is March 29- April 2. Monday, April 5th is a teacher workday. When we return from Spring Break, students will attend school 5 days a week (M-F).

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.
