Here are some safe ways to view a solar eclipse:

• Solar Eclipse Glasses: Use special-purpose solar filters or eclipse glasses that meet the ISO 12312-2 international safety standard. Regular sunglasses are not sufficient for viewing a solar eclipse.

• Pinhole Projector: You can create a pinhole projector using cardboard or paper to indirectly view the eclipse. This involves creating a small hole in a piece of paper or cardboard and letting the sunlight pass through it onto another surface, such as another piece of paper, where you can see the sun's image without looking directly at it. NASA has directions on how to make a pinhole projector HERE.

• Live Streams: If you're unable to view the eclipse directly or if weather conditions are unfavorable, consider watching live streams of the eclipse online or on television. NASA will live stream the eclipse on YouTube HERE throughout the day on April 8th.

Remember to exercise caution and protect your eyes at all times while viewing a solar eclipse.

Congratulations to our National Honor Society 2024 Inductees!

All students planning to attend a two or four year post-secondary institution (including PCC) will need to complete the Federal Aid (FAFSA) form. Any student, regardless of income, who wants to be considered for federal, state, and school financial aid programs. This includes grants, scholarships, work-study funds, and loans.

It takes most people less than one hour to fill out the FAFSA form, including gathering any personal documents and financial information needed to complete it. You will need the following items to complete your form.

• Verified account username and password (FSA ID)
• Parent or spouse contributor name, date of birth, Social Security number, and email address
• Income and asset information (if required)

The Next NC Scholarship is a financial aid program that helps most North Carolinians from households making $80,000 or less pursue a higher education, by fully covering tuition and fees at any community college in the state or more than half of, if not all, tuition and fees to attend any public university in North Carolina.

Students attending a North Carolina community college will receive at least $3,000 - more than the cost of full-time tuition. Those attending a public university will receive a minimum of $5,000, which pays for more than half, if not all, of tuition and fees.

Applying is simple. Students will just need to submit the FAFSA form, and if they're eligible, they will receive the Next NC Scholarship. There are no additional forms to fill out!

Our program is designed to focus on effectively providing a high-quality, virtual learning environment for all students and we ask that families commit to being enrolled for the entire school year. Student engagement is critical in the virtual learning environment; therefore, students will be expected to keep their cameras on during synchronous (live) instruction with their teachers and peers. Attendance will be taken based on this policy. There will also be opportunities daily for students to work asynchronously and having parent/family support is strongly encouraged.

While we are able to instruct our students virtually, all district and state-mandated assessments will need to be conducted in person onsite at our location. Assessment schedules and detailed instructions will be provided in advance of each district and state-mandated assessment for 5-12 students.
