Good afternoon Currituck County Schools’ Families. We hope this message finds you well. We know what a difficult time this has been for each of you. The challenges have certainly been no different for us. This message has a few important items of information for our families.

First, we are so pleased to let you know that over 742 meals were picked up at our “grab and go” sites throughout our community on our first day of the “Meals on Wheels” program!

Please be reminded that any child between the ages of 1 and 18 are eligible to receive a meal at no cost. We encourage all of our families to take advantage of this opportunity.

Next, our dedicated teachers, teacher assistants, administrators and other instructional staff have worked diligently to create learning opportunities for students and parents to access during our school closure.

These learning plans are designed to be a review of material and content that students have already been taught.

These activities do not include any new instruction and will not be collected. We encourage students and parents to access the materials online on our district website.

All learning plans will be posted by 10 am tomorrow, March 19th. Paper copies of these learning plans are also available at each school for pick up and may be delivered upon request at our meal sites.

The purpose of providing these activities is to help students maintain their current level of performance and retain as much learning as possible.

If you have questions regarding the learning plans, please contact your child’s school directly.

We will continue to provide all of our families with updates and information as soon as it becomes available. We continue to appreciate your grace and patience as we all navigate this unprecedented event together.
