Alerts & Updates

Welcome to the Currituck County Schools Alerts and Updates page! 

Here you’ll find the latest updates on district-wide school operations and schedules, including weather-related decisions, unexpected early dismissals, after-school cancellations, and other critical notices. Whenever a change impacts our students, staff, or families, the details will be posted here as quickly as possible.

We encourage families to also stay connected through the Campus Parent Portal, our social media channels, and local news outlets for additional updates and reminders.

Current Status

Normal operations at all site locations.

Inclement Weather Notifications

CCS actively monitors weather conditions and updates provided by Currituck County Emergency Management and the U.S. National Weather Service in Wakefield.

Alerts & Notifications

In the event of inclement weather that necessitates a school closure, delay, or early release, parents/guardians and staff will be notified through an Alert. Alerts are delivered by phone call, email, text message, and/or the Campus Parent Portal inbox, based on the communication preferences families have chosen in Infinite Campus*.

Currituck County Schools (CCS) will also post the information to our district website and Facebook page.

CCS additionally shares closing and delay information with local TV Stations (WTKR-3, WAVY-10, and WVEC-13). Once the information is shared, announcements are posted at each station's discretion.

Closures

Considering the weather's unpredictability and the fact that forecasts can change quickly, CCS makes every effort to provide announcements as far in advance as possible so that students, parents/guardians, and staff members can plan accordingly. No announcement means that school will operate on its regular schedule.

Delays

In the case of school delays, the school schedule may be delayed up to three hours. If your child rides the bus, the bus will pick up your child one to three hours later than the usual pick-up time.

Early Releases

Unless otherwise noted in messaging, early releases are based on the CCS Early Release Day schedule.

The CCS Early Release Day Schedule includes dismissals at the following times:

  • Elementary Schools: 11:30 AM
  • Middle Schools: 12:40 PM
  • Currituck County High School: 12:40 PM
  • J.P. Knapp Early College High School: 12:30 PM

 
*Infinite Campus Messenger 2.0 is the notification system allowing our school district to personally communicate with parents/guardians about emergency situations, school events, school closings and delays, and other important information. Parent/Guardian contact information is pulled directly from our Student Information System, Infinite Campus.

It is important that your child's school has up-to-date contact information to ensure that your family receives CCS announcements. If you need to update your family contact information, please contact the Data Manager at your child's school.
