Beginning April 12, 2021, all Vance County School students in grades PK-8 will return to face-to-face instruction on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Wednesday will be a remote day. Staff and students will continue maintaining social distancing, the use of face coverings, daily temperature checks and other safety guidelines, per NCDHHS and DPI.
Vance County Schools was honored to host a team from the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, along with NC Representative Terry Garrison, on Monday, March 15. Vance County Schools shared our story, allowing DPI to hear our voices and how we have utilized the last year as a space for opportunities and growth.
It is time to begin registering students for the 2020-2021 year! If you have a student entering Pre-K or Kindergarten, the Wow Starts Now! Every elementary school in our district will host 2 virtual sessions on March 10. More details will be posted soon!
Vance County Schools has partnered with OptumServe and Granville Vance Public Health to offer a FREE drive-thru COVID-19 test site for the community, located at Vance County Schools District Office (1724 Graham Avenue). We are excited to support this service and want to let you know this is available should you need it.
The Vance County Schools Board of Education voted at the February 8, 2021 meeting for our district to begin a staggered re-entry for our students, while also providing families the opportunity to remain virtual. Vance County Schools will begin offering a face-to-face option under Plan B for all students, PreK-13 beginning March 3, 2021. Students will be attending school in the building two days each week based upon their cohort assignment. All schools will operate remotely each Wednesday.
The Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) program helps families purchase food for children whose access to free or reduced-priced meals at school has been impacted by COVID-19 because students are learning virtually, outside of brick-and-mortar schools. P-EBT is a collaboration between the NC Department of Health and Human Services and the NC Department of Public Instruction.
For the safety of our students and staff, please use this link to sign students in late or check them out early. Please be prepared to show your picture ID upon arrival at the school.
