Message from the Superintendent

On behalf of the Nottoway County School Board and its employees, welcome to the 2008-2009 school year. Our goal continues to be to provide academic excellence through a supportive 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. It is this mission that drives our school system to not settle for being good but to aspire to be great. Nottoway schools continue to be a leader in high quality teaching and staff development. We plan to expand our communication capabilities through better utilization of technology. Beginning in the fall of 2008, all Nottoway County Public School policies can be accessed through the link on our district website. Parents will be able to access student grades, homework assignments and upcoming events through the TeacherWeb program in each school. 

There is excitement in the air at Nottoway County Public Schools as we begin to build elementary school gymnasiums that will enhance wellness programs and give our community a place to increase student recreational activities. Our focus this year will be on lowering the dropout rate and increasing the number of advanced diplomas along with career and technical certifications. We have listened to the concerns of the community and have added both a Certified Nursing Assistant Program (CNA) as well as Certified Medical Technician courses. We have programs that support students who want to be future teachers so that we can “grow our own.” 

We are proud to be a part of Nottoway County Public Schools and feel blessed to be able to contribute to our children’s futures. Please visit our county website for county-wide and building specific announcements. 

Best wishes for a great school year!

Sincerely,


Daniel Grounard Ed.D
Nottoway County Public Schools Superintendent
