Families can help build strong attendance habits with a few simple steps:
✅ Set consistent bedtime and morning routines
✅ Prepare backpacks, clothing, and other school items the night before
✅ Schedule appointments outside the school day when possible
✅ Reach out to your school office when challenges make attendance difficult
Thank you to our families for helping students make every school day count! 💯

International Literacy Day is an opportunity to celebrate the power of reading, writing, and learning in our schools and community!

If you are concerned that someone may be in immediate danger, tell a trusted adult right away. You can also call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.


That is the power of literacy. Across NCPS, students are developing the reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills that help them understand the world and share their own ideas.
At home, simple moments make a difference, too. Read a favorite story together, ask your child about what they are reading, or encourage them to put their own ideas on paper.


Attendance Awareness Month reminds us that showing up helps students stay connected to those experiences while building habits that can support them throughout the school year!


September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month 💚 Mental health thrives on connection, routines, and open talks. Check in on someone today. If you or a loved one needs support, call/text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline anytime at 988. Free, confidential, 24/7 help is available.
