Visitors - Please Have ID Ready
As we welcome our students and families back to school, please be reminded that all front office staff will request photo ID for campus access.
To help maintain a safe and secure school environment, we kindly ask all visitors to follow these steps:
📌Please use the Main Entrance.
📌Have a valid photo ID ready and be prepared to share the purpose of your visit.
📌Once buzzed into the building, all visitors must report directly to the Main Office first before going anywhere else in the building.
📌Visitors approved to move beyond the Main Office must wear a visitor badge/sticker at all times.
Please Note: If multiple families arrive at the same time, each visitor must present an ID and state their purpose for visiting before being granted entry.
Our highest priority is always to provide a safe environment for our students and staff. We appreciate your partnership in keeping our schools safe and welcoming for everyone!

Currituck County Schools asks that all parents and guardians complete the Annual Student Information Update through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. This convenient online process allows families to update contact and emergency details, electronically sign important beginning-of-year forms - including handbook acknowledgments, Chromebook agreements, and media consents - and pay student fees securely, all in one place.
Completing the update also helps ensure families receive the most current information through messages and phone calls and can be reached in case of an emergency.
