Ok so, she is no senior student at our school campus, but she has such a key role in the running of our school system. Ms. Stewart is our school nurse! This week, we celebrated the National School Nurse Day, and we wanted to take the opportunity to recognize and value her work and contributions to our school community! She works super hard to help keep our students and staff healthy and safe, and even more so in the eve of this pandemic! We appreciate her essential work and want to extend our congratulations on her day! Parents, students and community, how about joining with us in celebrating this amazing staff member at school?
Laker Pride Post!!
We would like to extend our congratulations to the following students at Mattamuskeet Early College High School:
LeAnna Farrow
Charity Spencer
Kriston Spencer
ShiAnn Thompson
These students just earned their Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Certification. This was a 10-hour online certification that is targeted at making a significant and critical impact on decreasing the number of young worker injuries and fatalities in the US. These students have learned how to safety transfer patients, proper body mechanics and on the job safety. They can now recognize, avoid, abate, and prevent safety and health hazards in the workplace. Their certification will never expire.
It is outstanding to see our students working extra hard to complete their high school years with an advantage over everyone else to help them in their future endeavors! Congratulations for your hard work!

We have added a couple of measures to increase the safety of the school personnel delivering meals to your homes based on additional state guidelines. Please review the latest Facebook post on the Mattamuskeet School Campus page, or in our news section in the Hyde County Schools website. Thank you for your cooperation!
Our district feels very blessed to be 1 of only 7 counties in NC not have a confirmed case of COVID-19 so far. What we are doing is working! Thank you for all your support! With that in mind, there have been additional guidelines set up by the state to increase the level of safety for our staff who are serving as essential personnel delivering meals to your homes.
1. Starting today, we ask that you please setup a table, cooler, container, or box outside your house where the bus stops so the meals may be dropped in or on them and you can get to them after the bus departs.
2. If this is not feasible, we ask that neither parents nor students board the school bus for any reason.
We appreciate your cooperation with these updates and we urge you to continue to follow local and state safety measures to keep all of us in Hyde county safe from this virus.
Thank you and have a great day!
En el distrito escolar nos sentimos muy bendecidos por ser todavía 1 de 7 condados en Carolina del Norte sin un caso confirmado del virus COVID-19 hasta ahora. Lo que estamos haciendo está funcionando. Gracias a todos por su apoyo. Teniendo esto presente, parámetros adicionales han sido establecidos por el estado para incrementar el nivel de protección de nuestro personal escolar quienes han sido designados como personal esencial al repartir la comida a sus hogares.
1. Iniciándose el día de hoy, le pedimos que por favor coloque una mesa, contenedor, caja afuera de su casa en donde el bus escolar se para para que la comida sea depositada o colocada en el mismo y usted pueda recogerlo después que el bus se haya ido.
2. Si esta opción no es posible, le pedimos que ni padres ni estudiantes aborden el bus escolar por ningún motivo.
Apreciamos eternamente su cooperación con esta novedad y le rogamos que continúe cumpliendo con las medidas de protección establecidas por el gobierno local y estatal para que todos en el Condado de Hyde continuemos protegidos de este virus.
Gracias y que tenga un buen día.
Our very own, Callie Luker, was featured in WITN as the Teacher of the Week! Congratulations! https://www.witn.com/content/news/569654981.html
