Good evening, Laker Family,

This is your principal, Mr. O’Shea, with your weekly announcements.

This week we are gearing up for our Christmas program, which is scheduled to take place next Wednesday, on December 17th.  Please come out and join us at 5:30pm for festive fun!  For our students who missed fall pictures, make up pictures are taking place on Friday, December 12th.  Please make sure you get your photo taken if you haven’t done so already!

I also wanted to share news that I know is impacting our school community.  This weekend, Mrs. Louise Beirne, our Middle School science teacher, passed away after a long hard fight with cancer.  We know how hard this is for our students, families, and staff, and I wanted to make sure you all know that there will be resources available tomorrow for those who need someone to talk to.  Please make sure you give your special people a little extra love in honor of Mrs. Beirne. 

Thank you and good night.

Esta semana nos estamos preparando para nuestro programa de Navidad, el cual está programado para el próximo miércoles, 17 de diciembre. ¡Por favor, venga y acompáñenos a las 5:30 p. m. para una diversión festiva! Aquellos estudiantes que se perdieron las fotos de otoño, las fotos de recuperación se llevarán a cabo el viernes 12 de diciembre. ¡Por favor, asegúrense de tomarse su foto si aún no lo han hecho!

También quería compartir noticias que sé que están impactando a nuestra comunidad escolar. Este fin de semana, la Sra. Louise Beirne, nuestra maestra de ciencias de la escuela de grados medios, falleció después de una larga y dura lucha contra el cáncer. Sabemos lo difícil que es esto para nuestros estudiantes, familias y personal, y quería asegurarme de que todos sepan que habrá recursos disponibles mañana para aquellos que necesiten a alguien con quien hablar. Por favor, asegúrense de dar a personas especiales en su vida un poco más de amor en honor a la memoria de la Maestra Beirne.

Gracias y buenas noches.

On behalf of Dr. Shaver, Superintendent of Schools, we appreciate the parents from all schools who participated in the Fall Virtual Parent Advisory Committee last night. Your feedback is essential, as your insights and recommendations contribute to our ongoing efforts to enhance the overall quality of education provided to all students.

Part of the feedback last night had to do with this particular opportunity for parents to participate in this virtual forum and how they wished it had been more widely advertised. From this feedback, Dr. Shaver is scheduling a second opportunity to host this Parent Advisory Meeting this coming Monday, October 27th at 6:30pm.

Ahead of the meeting, all interested parents need to download the ZOOM application on the device they are planning to use for this event. You also need to either email Mr. Morales your name, school affiliation and email address at jmorales@hyde.k12.nc.us or call the office at 252-926-3281 Ext. 3500 to collect the information.

The meeting ZOOM link will be emailed to those who registered in the morning on Monday, October 27th. Come join us and get involved with our school system!

Dr. Shaver hosts a Virtual Superintendent's Parent Advisory Committee twice a year to share important information and also to get feedback from all of you. While each school campus has a number of parents who are part of this committee, she would like to open this invitation to ANY parent/guardian at either school campus who is interested in joining as well. Your input is always highly appreciated!

The Fall virtual convening of this parent advisory committee is this Monday, October 20th starting at 6:30pm. if you are interested in attending, please email Mr. Morales at jmorales@hyde.k12.nc.us and share your name, school your child is enrolled at, and your phone and email. The ZOOM virtual link for the meeting will be shared with all who signed up this Monday morning at the latest.

Come join us and get involved with your school system!

Our school is partnering with Volunteer Medical Corps (VMC) to provide school-based telehealth services at no out of pocket costs for all students and staff.

This means that students and staff who feel sick during the day can go to the nurse’s office and talk to a doctor or nurse by video.

Telehealth appointments are available for common health issues like sore throats, pink eye, coughs, fevers, bruises, and sprains. This school-based telehealth service allows students to get care quickly and spend less time away from class.

For anyone to participate, a consent form is required. Please fill out your child's consent form by clicking the appropriate link below:
