Red Ribbon Week is coming up! It would typically be next week, but we are going to push it back to the week of November 2-6 when our 4th/5th graders return to a 4-day schedule so all the students can participate on every day. The dress up days will be as followed:

Monday-Too Bright for Drugs-Wear neon clothes and sunglasses

Tuesday-Voting for my Future to be Drug-Free-Wear Red, White, and Blue

Wednesday-Virtual Learning Day

Thursday-Wear Red Day-Students will receive a red ribbon and should wear a red shirt

Friday-From Head to Toe, I'm Drug Free-Crazy Hair and Socks Day

In honor of Veterans Day, our school would like to continue our annual “Hall of Heroes.” If you have anyone in your family who is or was a United States veteran, we would like you to share his/her accomplishments with us. If no one in your family is a veteran, you can make a poster of a family friend or neighbor. To participate, decorate a Veteran’s Day poster including information such as a picture of your veteran, his/her name, relation to you, branch of military, dates of service, rank, and duty stations. If you don’t personally know a veteran, you can still make a Veteran’s Day poster in honor of all veterans. You can draw patriotic pictures and write messages for our veterans. Remember to write YOUR NAME and YOUR TEACHER’S NAME on the back of your poster. Please send in posters by Tuesday, November 3, for display.

In accordance to NC Department of Health and Human Services, OCS has updated the daily screening questions to include members of the household. If your child's situation warrants an affirmative response to any of these questions, the staff of QCE are required to follow the plan outlined in the Flow Chart below.

1. Do you know if you have been around anyone diagnosed with COVID-19?
2. Since you were last at school, have you had a fever, chills, had trouble breathing, been coughing, or lost your sense of taste or smell?
3. Since you were last at school, has anyone in your household developed a fever, chills, had trouble breathing, been coughing, or lost your sense of taste or smell?

Schedule

• November 2, 2020: 4th & 5th Grades transition to all students four days a week (M,T, Th, F)
• November 30, 2020: All Grades transition to five days a week.

All afternoon transportation changes will happen within the system. This eliminates the need for notes that don't always reach the teachers or emails to the front office that might not be seen until after dismissal. All changes need to happen before 2:00pm. At 2:15pm each teacher is sent an email with a list of all his/her students and how each one is getting home.

If you still have not claimed your account, please email either the jill.yager@onslow.k12.nc.us or michelle.staley@onslow.k12.nc.us and they will assist you.
