On behalf of the Nottoway County School Board and its employees, welcome to the 2011-2012 school year. Our goal continues to be to provide academic excellence through a supportive and safe school climate.
We do this first and foremost, by continuing to attract and retain the very best teachers, support staff, and administrative leaders. We recognize the importance of having a shared vision with our students, parents, staff and community.
With the support of the entire Nottoway village, we will continue to make Nottoway County Public Schools one of the best in the state.
The mission of Nottoway County Schools is to provide opportunities that enable students to enjoy life, contribute to others' well being, and become responsible, productive citizens in a global community. In my four years here, I have had the opportunity to observe what makes Nottoway County Schools stand out from other divisions. What I notice is a powerful community that includes cafeteria workers, maintenance, bus drivers, custodians, nurses, teacher aides, administrators, support staff, parents and teachers! It is this combination that provides a myriad of opportunities for our children.
Nottoway County Schools continues to be an award winning school system. This past year, we won the 2011 Division Leadership Award given by Southside Virginia Regional Technology Consortium. Our parents make up many of the committees that have contributed toward our success. I invite parents and community members to take part in our new Comprehensive Planning Committee this year as we set new long range goals for our students and schools.
Our focus this year will be on lowering the dropout rate and increasing the number of advanced diplomas, as well as career and technical certifications. Last year, we had nine students earn associate degrees and 53% of our graduating seniors earned advanced diplomas. Over 120 students received career and technical certification from the high school. Our graduation rate is steadily increasing each year as the dropout rate decreases.
As superintendent, I have personally seen the tremendous efforts to ensure success with all of our students, put forth by the dedicated teachers, staff and administration of Nottoway County Public Schools. Our accomplishments bring great pride, and our prospects of continued growth and success are encouraging.
I wish you and your children the very best this school year.
Sincerely,
Daniel Grounard Ed.D
Nottoway County Public Schools Superintendent
