For your information!

With Graduation Season all in this month, we are getting ready to bid farewell to the great Class of 2024 in our school system. We have been told only a few of our seniors have applied, so we need to make sure all seniors and their parents are aware of this opportunity to earn Federal dollars to help your child go to college or university if that is the path they are following after graduation. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid is a form completed by current and prospective college students in the United States to determine their eligibility for student financial aid. FAFSA is the First Step to ALL Financial Aid. And with the Next NC Scholarship, most students from households with incomes of $80,000 or less will qualify for at least $3,000/year to attend a NC community college that covers all tuition and fees. For students planning to go to a UNC institution, they can get $5,000/year that covers more than half, if not all, tuition and fees. And for students going to a NC private college there is a state need-based scholarship for them, too. But it all starts with FAFSA! It is not too late, Seniors and their parents! Go ahead and fill the FAFSA application online as soon as possible! Our school counselors are a great source of support if help is needed in completing the application! Check out these websites for more information and to apply! https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa https://nextncscholarship.org/

This week, let's take a moment to recognize and appreciate the incredible work of school bus drivers and the vital role they play in our communities. School Bus Appreciation Week is the perfect opportunity to honor these dedicated individuals who ensure the safe transportation of our children to and from school every day. Their commitment to the well-being and safety of our children deserves our utmost recognition and gratitude. School bus drivers not only navigate through various traffic conditions and weather challenges but also create a warm and welcoming environment for students during their daily commute. Their friendly and patient demeanor helps to create a positive and nurturing experience for our children, fostering a sense of security and familiarity as they embark on their educational journey. Let's take this opportunity to express our heartfelt thanks to all school bus drivers for their unwavering dedication and service to our communities.

Happy National School Counseling Week to all of our counselors at Mattamuskeet and Ocracoke Schools! You ladies, ROCK!

Come to school Tuesday and save your appetite to help our Senior Class Fundraiser!

Mainland students, parents, community members!! Let's walk! Interested participants need to register by scanning the QR code. Once they have created a profile, they can then return to that page and “sign in.” Then they go to the challenges tab in the app (little trophy icon, second tab on the bottom) and find challenges to join. Of course, this one will be 'Walking Into Winter - Mattamuskeet School' You will also need to connect their devices, which will sync their steps from a wearable (Apple watch, Garmin, Fitbit, etc.) to their mobile device, or they can just use their mobile device. Let's all walk together to a much healthier lifestyle!

Mark your calendars!
