This message is to confirm all schools and offices will be closed Monday, October 16th, due to a water line break at the water treatment plant. However, please note that those attending Governor’s School and SVCC programs are to attend classes as normal.

We received notification the Town of Crewe’s water plant will be undergoing repairs on Monday. This will impact the water supply at most of our schools. In an effort to notify parents in a timely manner, there is a potential school closing for Monday, October 16th. A message will be sent on Sunday that will confirm whether schools will be open or closed on Monday.

CALENDAR REMINDER: Wednesday, October 11, is an early dismissal day (12:30 p.m.) for all Nottoway County Public Schools students. Please plan accordingly!

NOTICE: We apologize for the lack of detail in the recent message about water bottles and the confusion it may have caused. This message is intended to provide context and clarification. We are resuming the expectations and practice that was in place before COVID: students who want to carry around a water bottle during the school day may do so if the bottle is clear/see-through and they can bring store-bought water to school. The bottle must be empty and can be filled with water once the student arrives at school. Students who bring lunch to school and/or who bring snacks and drinks for after-school sports and activities may continue to bring bottled/canned drinks to be consumed at lunch or practice. If your child has a situation that you believe warrants an exception, please contact your child's principal.

This is a calendar reminder. We have an early dismissal at 12:30 pm for students only on Wednesday, September 20th. If you have any questions, please call your child's school. Thank you.

NCPS is committed to ensuring a physical environment for our students, staff, and visitors that is safe, so this summer was spent making some upgrades to each of our schools, including new locks on every classroom door and upgrades to our camera system. When students return to school on Monday, August 21, they will enter buildings through a touchless security screening system that can detect "weapons while ignoring most harmless personal items." For more information about the security screening system - "Evolv Express" - a Parents Guide and a Brief about the product are available.

Families of Students in Grades K-5: Please be advised that the division will not be issuing devices to students in grades K-5 during the 2023-2024 school year. NCPS will be collecting these devices and returning them to use in the classroom. A process for collection will be shared with your child's teacher.
