Dear Families,
I hope you enjoy a nice, long weekend. There is no school on Monday. Please note that NCVPS courses will have assignments on Monday. Please talk to your student about staying on pace by either working Monday or planning to work longer on Tuesday.
We begin high school registration for 2026-27 this week. Families of rising 9th - 12th graders should plan to attend the meeting on Thursday. Information is shared below. Current 6th and 7th grade families do not need to attend.
Enjoy the weekend.
