Doing what's best for students!
Parents and students, it has come to our attention that there are postings in social media falsely claiming our NC Governor has made a statement that all students in our K-12 Public Schools will repeat the current grade for next school year. This is false information, so please disregard. Thank you.
Take a read on this article published by the Coastland Times on the progress of our Schools without Walls: https://www.thecoastlandtimes.com/2020/03/30/from-in-class-to-online-area-schools-transition-to-new-way-of-learning/?fbclid=IwAR3jGAdXcPTBe3sn4Btibx6pXD7zTazv0lPEKFCWX9WWv2TeEZEkosQ8uKE

Hello Hyde County School’s students, staff, and parents.
I am so excited to tell everyone about our Breakfast and Lunch meal program in all Hyde County Schools. Governor Roy Cooper has charged school districts with feeding children between the ages of 0-18 years old while schools are closed.
As some of you may know, we have students in Hyde County who attend schools other than Hyde County Public Schools. Hyde County Schools is committed to feeding all children, regardless of whether they attend a Hyde County School facility.
Each day on the Mattamuskeet side, between 10:30 am and 1:00 pm, our Yellow School Buses will be delivering lunch for that day and breakfast for the following morning to all students on the mainland.
On Ocracoke, lunches for today and breakfast for the following morning will be provided each day to be picked up in the NCCAT Dining Room based on the schedule established by Principal Leslie Cole.
Last Tuesday, Mattamuskeet served 369 meals. This was an incredible accomplishment considering the entire Mattamuskeet Campus has a population of 397 students. Last Wednesday, Mattamuskeet delivered 380 meals with Ocracoke started their program serving an additional 37 meals.
I just wanted to thank all of our staff, including Transportation Director Mrs. Tammy Sadler, for working so hard to make this program such an incredible success. Thank you to everyone for continuing to do what is best for students!

Important Message from Mattamuskeet Early College High School Principal, Mr. Wesley Floy:
As you should be aware, we began virtual instruction last Thursday. Teachers have been teaching students online using the digital tools available. The beauty of the online instruction is that it allows us to not only continue providing instruction to our students, but also provides our students and staff opportunities to meet and talk through challenges, virtually. Students can still complete all their work from home showing that they are attending their classes. To do this students MUST check their emails, engage with their teachers during their "Office Hours," and complete their work. In other words, learning continues every day for each class despite our school campus mandated extended closure. Please contact your child’s teacher, have your child log in to his/her emails, and complete work for each class. As a parent, we know that you want to support your child’s education. Again, school is moving forward. Thank you for supporting your student and teachers. Please feel free to contact the school for additional questions.

Report on the 2019 Sealant Project at Mattamuskeet Elementary School provided by the NC Division of Public Health By Public Health Hygienist – Rae Elliott
Total Students Examined: 17
Number of Students Referred for Further Treatment: 3
Number of Qualified Students: 10
Number of Sealants Placed: 25
Total Cost Savings for Parents (Sealants are typically $50.00 per tooth): $1,250.00
Although we did not have a large number of students that received sealants, the project did provide a cost savings of $1,250.00 for our parents, not to mention patient education for students and decreased likelihood of decay in students’ permanent molars thanks to the protective sealants!
Overall, it was very successful. We would love to see more students take advantage of this free program!
