Tuesday, September 15th is IT Appreciation Day, and we’re giving a special shoutout to our incredible CCS Technology Department!
From keeping our devices, networks, systems, and classrooms connected to troubleshooting the unexpected and supporting staff and students across the district, our Technology team works tirelessly behind the scenes to keep CCS moving forward.
Thank you for your expertise, responsiveness, patience, and dedication—and for always being there when we need you most! We appreciate all you do to support teaching, learning, communication, and operations throughout Currituck County Schools.

Additional Resource for Families
To help families plan ahead, we’ve created a 2026–2027 Calendar Quick Reference Guide featuring scheduled early release days, teacher workdays, and holidays throughout the school year.
When possible, planning appointments, vacations, and other activities around instructional days is a great way to support consistent attendance and help students make the most of every opportunity to learn, connect, and grow.
Save this guide for easy reference throughout the year. It is also available on our website.
AI: Check Before You Trust
Artificial intelligence (AI) is showing up in more of the tools we use every day, from search results and online content to apps and digital assistants. While AI can be a helpful resource, it’s still important to think critically about the information and content it provides. This week’s Tech Tip shares a few simple reminders to help you use AI thoughtfully and confidently.

Important Reminder for Families
If your child is new to North Carolina schools, they must have a physical within 30 days of the first day of school. The NC Health Assessment Form is available to download on our district website.
In addition, North Carolina requires immunizations for students in Kindergarten and Grades 7 and 12. Students must have required immunizations prior to the 30th day of school. Immunization information can be found on the NCDHHS website.

We would like to thank our families for their patience and understanding as we started the new school year.
Now that we have officially reached the 10th day of school, our Transportation Department has more accurate ridership information and can begin reevaluating bus capacity and potential seat availability.
Families currently on the transportation wait list will be contacted directly by the Transportation Department if a seat becomes available and their child is assigned to a bus.
Thank you again for your continued patience and understanding as we work to accommodate as many students as possible.
Since 2019, middle and high school students have participated in Say Something Anonymous Reporting System training. With the new school year underway, training will take place soon at our middle and high schools.
Please know that receiving reports throughout the school year is not uncommon for schools, including an increase after Say Something training. All reports received are taken seriously and thoroughly investigated.
Parents and guardians will receive more information about the training directly from their child's school. For more information about the Say Something Anonymous Reporting System, please visit the Anonymous Reporting page of our district or school website.
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!
