Good evening Currituck County Schools' Families. We hope this message continues to find everyone healthy and well. The PowerSchool Parent Portal has been opened back up this evening. Quarter 3 grades have been finalized for all students in grades 6-12.  For the final grading period, teachers in grades 6-12 will enter grades into the gradebook for the 2-3 remote learning assignments per week completed and turned in. Zeros will be entered as place holders for work not submitted or completed. This will help parents to note whether or not work has been submitted, but these zeros will not negatively impact final grades. The state department of public instruction has been clear about their expectation that participation in remote learning can improve a students grade, but cannot harm it. A pre-recorded grading video will be released tomorrow to walk students and parents through the latest grading guidance and clarify questions. As always, if you have any questions, please reach out to your child's teacher and then school administration. District staff continue to work on plans for the end of the school year to include discussions about picking up personal belongings from schools, turning in school issued devices and materials, and of course topics like graduation and promotion ceremonies. We will provide additional updates soon. Don't forget that this week is Teacher Appreciation Week. Consider taking a moment to virtually send your appreciation to the teachers who have made a positive impact on your child's education! And thank you for the role you play in being your child's most important teacher. Thank you, and have a great evening.

An email was sent to ALL Staff today, 04/29/2020 with two important documents regarding Employee Rights and the Coronavirus Response Act.

Good evening Currituck County Schools' families. Over the last two days, we have all received a lot of information about the status of our schools, grading, and remote learning. At times, this information can be overwhelming. As of this afternoon, we learned from Governor Cooper that schools will remain physically closed for the remainder of the year. Remote learning opportunities will still move forward for all students between now and the end of the year.

Good evening Currituck County Schools Families. Tomorrow, March 31st, teachers will begin providing new remote learning opportunities for students.These opportunities will use various media and formats like video conferencing, print material, online material, or even learning management systems such as Google Classroom. Students of all levels and abilities will be reached through excellent instructional and educational support. Our teachers have worked hard to design learning opportunities that will best expose students to the remaining standards for each grade level and content area course Kindergarten through 12th grade. We are acutely aware of the importance that these learning opportunities have in preparing students for the next grade level or course in a sequence at the high school level. As such, we strongly encourage students to engage in these opportunities.

Governor Roy Cooper called for all schools to close effective Monday, March 16th through March 30th.

Currituck County Schools had already made the decision to declare Monday, March 16th, a teacher workday to prepare in the event school was cancelled for an extended period of time. Tentatively, all schools will be open Monday for parents and students to come in and pick up any personal items or devices they may have left at school. This may change.

Good evening Currituck County Schools' Staff, Students, and Parents. Currituck County Schools continues to receive updates and guidance from the office of the governor as well as state and local health officials about the coronavirus. Currituck County Schools has made the decision to declare Monday, March 16th, a required workday for all staff. Students will not report to school on Monday. This day will be used for all staff to prepare virtual learning protocols and activities should our district need to close for an extended period of time. This day will also be used to continue our efforts to sanitize classrooms, restrooms, buses and high frequency touch points in all of our buildings.
