NOTICE: We apologize for the lack of detail in the recent message about water bottles and the confusion it may have caused. This message is intended to provide context and clarification. We are resuming the expectations and practice that was in place before COVID: students who want to carry around a water bottle during the school day may do so if the bottle is clear/see-through and they can bring store-bought water to school. The bottle must be empty and can be filled with water once the student arrives at school. Students who bring lunch to school and/or who bring snacks and drinks for after-school sports and activities may continue to bring bottled/canned drinks to be consumed at lunch or practice. If your child has a situation that you believe warrants an exception, please contact your child's principal.

This is a calendar reminder. We have an early dismissal at 12:30 pm for students only on Wednesday, September 20th. If you have any questions, please call your child's school. Thank you.

Congratulations, Nottoway High School for having 61% of registration forms completed by Monday evening! Your school won the SNOWIE Treat on August 28th.


NCPS is committed to ensuring a physical environment for our students, staff, and visitors that is safe, so this summer was spent making some upgrades to each of our schools, including new locks on every classroom door and upgrades to our camera system. When students return to school on Monday, August 21, they will enter buildings through a touchless security screening system that can detect "weapons while ignoring most harmless personal items." For more information about the security screening system - "Evolv Express" - a Parents Guide and a Brief about the product are available.

Families of Students in Grades K-5: Please be advised that the division will not be issuing devices to students in grades K-5 during the 2023-2024 school year. NCPS will be collecting these devices and returning them to use in the classroom. A process for collection will be shared with your child's teacher.

Student Open House will be from 1 to 4 p.m. and 4:30 until 7 p.m. at each school on Thursday, August 17, 2023. Student schedules are not available until student registration forms are completed online. If you need help or assistance, please call your child's school.

Many of you have asked about 21st Century After School Programs at BPS, CPS and NIS and unfortunately these grants ended with summer programming. We have applied for grant funding for this year but have not heard regarding whether we were selected as recipients. As soon as we know, we will reach out.
