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!

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/

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.
