We’ve all seen it — someone going the extra mile for a student, lending a hand to a teammate, or showing a small act of kindness that makes a big difference. Now’s your chance to shine a light on those moments!
Let’s celebrate the incredible efforts of our NCPS Family who show kindness, dedication, and a true commitment to excellence every single day.
Here’s How It Works:
✅ Share your story — it’s quick and easy!
✅ Someone will be featured on our social media as part of our Commitment to Excellence Spotlight.
✅ Your name stays anonymous — but your kind words will inspire others and highlight the amazing people who make NCPS special.
Let’s take pride in the extraordinary things happening across Nottoway County Public Schools and give a shout-out to the people who make this a wonderful place to learn, work, and grow.

Every Minute of Learning Matters!
Nottoway County Public Schools is committed to providing every student with the very best opportunities to learn and grow. One of the most important ways families can support their child’s success is by ensuring they are at school, on time, every day. Consistent attendance is critical for academic growth, and every minute of learning truly matters!
A few important reminders:
Attendance Matters 🕒 – Please help us by having your child at school each day and on time.
Cell Phones & Devices 📵 – Cell phones are not allowed from the first bell to the last bell. If you need to reach your child or they need to contact you, calls must be made through the school office.
Dress Code Expectations 👕 – Students are expected to follow the division dress code. If attire does not meet expectations, students will be asked to call home for a change of clothes. We have had an increase in students not being dressed appropriately
High Expectations & Accountability 🎓 – NCPS is committed to excellence for all students. Working together as families, schools, and community, we can ensure success for every child. Please remind your child to meet learning and behavior expectations.
We encourage you to stay connected, reach out to your child’s school with any questions, and consider volunteering your time to support our students and staff.
Together, we are stronger. Together, We Are Nottoway—Committed to Excellence!

These drills are an important part of our safety procedures and ensure that students and staff know exactly what to do in the event of an emergency.
We appreciate the support and understanding of our parents and community as we work together to keep our schools safe.

We’ve had an outstanding first few days of school, and it has been wonderful to see our students back in our buildings, ready to learn! Thank you to our families, staff, and community for helping us start the school year successfully. Please note that the majority of normal communications will come as a text or email; however, it was important to send this update via a voice call as well. We prefer to use calls for urgent notifications moving forward.
My goal is to provide some reminders to assist in partnership with our schools.
The parent and student portal to view grades, etc. will be open on Tuesday, August 26th.
Dress Code: We did see several students who did not meet our dress code standards last week. Students who are not dressed appropriately will be required to call home for a change of clothes. Please help us by ensuring your child arrives dressed according to NCPS guidelines.
Cell Phones & Electronic Devices: Thank you for supporting our no cell phone/electronic device policy. As a reminder, phones and devices must be stored in bookbags and are not allowed to be used from the first bell to the last bell.
Hats, Hoods, and Earbuds: Students are not permitted to wear hats, hoods, or earbuds during the school day.
Arrival Times: Please ensure your child arrives on time each day. The tardy bells ring at 7:55 a.m. for Blackstone Primary and Crewe Primary, and at 8:55 a.m. for Nottoway Intermediate, Middle, and High School. Every moment of learning matters! It is important to follow the drop off entry and exit procedures of our child's school. This allows for a safe flow of traffic.
Finally, please remember that schools will be closed on Friday, August 29th, and Monday, September 1st in observance of the Labor Day holiday.
Our schools are only successful when we have a strong partnership with our families. Thank you for sharing your child with us, for supporting our expectations, and for holding students accountable as we work together to provide the very best education possible.
If you have any questions, please contact your child’s school.
