Bus Rider Information

 🚍❗️ ATTENTION - IMPORTANT BUS RIDER INFORMATION 🚍❗️

If your child is a bus rider and you haven't been receiving phone calls, texts, or emails regarding their bus, the issue might be with your contact details registered in PowerSchool. Please contact your child's school to check and update your contact information to ensure you receive all necessary communications about transportation.  We encourage all guardians/parents to inform the school when your contact information changes, so you can be best informed.

March Madness: Professional Development

🌟NCPS educators recently participated in the district's March Madness Professional Development Mini-Conference. Educators attended mini-sessions on topics ranging from AI to Resiliency to Data-Driven Instruction and more to build skills for their classrooms and other learning environments. The conference was a blend of in-person and virtual sessions facilitated by NCPS's own educators and DPI educators. The district's Director of Professional Learning and Special Programs, Yolanda Wiggins, organized the event

Big thanks to all the facilitators and educators who attended, Rocky Mount High School for hosting the in-person sessions, and all our vendors (Ann's Donuts, Golden Corral, Krispy Kreme, Pepsi, Pizza Inn and more) who made donations so educators could munch while learning.

Check out some of the pics from the March 14th event. 🏀📷
