We had another great week at QCE!

As we start getting into the cooler months, we highly recommend writing your child's name on their items. Our lost and found items are piling up fast. If you child is missing something, have them check the lost and found right outside Ms. Lamb's classroom.

If you have not seen it already, the following message has been placed on

Onslow County Schools website:

OCS is closely monitoring weather conditions which could possibly impact Eastern North Carolina in the coming days. There is much uncertainty with the forecast, and it could be well into the weekend before officials will be able to provide us with a clear picture of what impacts we might expect.

At this point, no decisions have been made about any potential changes to the normal school schedule next week. If it becomes necessary for a decision to be made, the announcement will be relayed quickly to all OCS staff, parents and students.

Information about how OCS handles delays, early releases or closures of schools, can be found on the Inclement Weather Information page on the district website.

Please remember the following:

• The absence of any announcement means that schools will open as usual.

• A phone call making the announcement of any closing or delay will be sent as soon as any decision is made.

Thank you for partnering with us to keep our students and community safe!

If you see Mr. Bud and his team around this week, give them a huge THANK YOU!!!!! They do so much every day to support our school, teachers and students. We love our custodians and are lucky to have them.

Thank you to all who participated in the fall dental clinic. SMILES Mobile Clinic will be back in March for 6-month checkups. If your child missed the fall dental clinic, they will have the opportunity to participate in March. Flyers will start coming home in February.
