Happy National Custodian Day! 🧹
Day in and day out, our custodians are the unsung heroes who work tirelessly behind the scenes to keep our schools sparkling, safe, and running smoothly. They do more than just clean; they help create the healthy, welcoming learning environment that makes our schools feel like home for our students and staff. We are so grateful for all our NCPS Custodians do to support our community. We couldn't do it without you! 💖

October is National Bullying Prevention Month. 🧡
While it's tough to hear that 1 out of 5 students is bullied, the most important part is that 5 out of 5 of us can prevent it. It takes all of us to ensure our schools are places of kindness and respect.
Commit to being a positive force—speak up, reach out, and stand together.
