Happy National School Counseling Week to all of our counselors at Mattamuskeet and Ocracoke Schools! You ladies, ROCK!
With Ms. Todd’s now vacant spot being a Democratic one, the Democratic Party of Hyde County was not able to appoint or recommend candidates at this time. Therefore, The Hyde County Board of Education is opening up a call for any resident of Ocracoke Island interested in serving as the Ocracoke representative on the Board of Education. We ask that you please send an email of interest to Dr. Melanie Shaver, mshaver@hyde.k12.nc.us by no later than this Friday, February 2nd. You will receive a confirmation of your submission.
These interested citizens also need to plan to attend the next Board of Education meeting scheduled for Tuesday, February 6th at 5:00pm at either of the meeting sites (O.A. Peay School or Ocracoke School Commons) for an interview process conducted by the current board members so they may decide who will receive the favorable appointment.
Our school has been working on something called the Amazing Shake where skills like eye contact, posture, charisma, confidence and a firm hand shake are worked on and perfected. It’s an excellent life skills program. We do it school wide with all students but the competition around it is only for grades 4-8. We had our Amazing Shake Competition today and a big thank you to these community members who helped judge the event. We will take the top 3 of each grade to head to Mattamuskeet in February to complete against them. The top kiddos in the county will head to the national competition for the Amaking Shake! Stay tuned for our top shakers!

Homecoming Week is HEREEEE!!!
October is National Principals' Month
School principals are dedicated and empathetic leaders who create an environment that fosters learning, growth, and development. They constantly strive to improve the school experience for their students and put their needs first. They serve as a source of inspiration, motivation, and encouragement for the school community, preparing students for the challenges of the real world. Without school principals, the education system would not be as excellent as it is today. We should appreciate and thank them for their commitment to improving our schools.
We are blessed to have Ms. Etheridge and Ms. Cole lead our schools. Their contributions do not go unnoticed!
