Nottoway County Public Schools will be closed for students on Monday, November 4th. Parent - teacher conferences will be held from 4pm- 7pm. Schools will be closed on Tuesday, November 5th for students and instructional staff. If you have any questions, please contact your child's school.
NCPS will dismiss early on Wednesday, September 18th for teacher professional development. BPS & CPS will dismiss at 11:30 am and NIS, NMS, & NHS will dismiss at 12:30pm.
We have been made aware of a social media message regarding a possible threat to schools. Although Nottoway has not been directly named in posts, we have been in contact with the Sheriff's Office and have increased police presence at our schools. We recognize this message is concerning and we want to reassure you the safety of students and staff is our top priority. As a reminder, if you see something, say something.
This message is to inform our NCPS families of dismissal times on early dismissal days. On early dismissal days, elementary schools will dismiss at 11:30 am, and the complex schools will dismiss at 12:30 pm. If you have any questions, please contact your child's principal.
As of 2:54 pm this afternoon, our buses have left the elementary schools thus creating delays in afternoon drop-offs. This will create a delay in the dismissal of buses from the NCPS complex. We apologize for the inconvenience but appreciate your understanding. We had a great first day at NCPS!
Dear Cougar Community,
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! I am excited to see you all as we welcome teachers and staff back on August 12, and students return on Wednesday, August 21.
As you may have heard, Governor Youngkin issued an Executive Order (#33) that requires a “cell phone-free education in Virginia’s schools… [from] ‘bell-to-bell’, meaning phones should be turned off and stored away from the first bell at the start of the school day to begin instructional time until the dismissal bell rings at the end of the academic school day. ‘Bell-to-bell’ includes lunch and time in between class periods.” NCPS staff members will enforce and abide by this mandate. Students with cell phones, earbuds, headphones, and other devices that work similar to a cell phone will have to turn the device over to an adult if that device is visible and/or on during the instructional day.
We at NCPS remain committed to “Expectations of Excellence for Excellence in Education.” Because we believe that every child can learn, we are committed to 1) challenging our students with rigorous activities and assignments that are aligned to the state’s learning standards, 2) holding ourselves and our students accountable for attaining - at minimum - 90% in everything we do (attendance, achievement, etc.) 100% of the time, and 3) communicating frequently with our students, parents, and employees.
As always, my door is open. Please do not hesitate to contact me - by phoning the school board office - with any questions, concerns, and/or suggestions you may have to help us make NCPS the best school division in the region, state, country, and world!!!
Sincerely,
Dr. Tameshia Grimes,
Division Superintendent
