Hello, OCS Family! Catch up on all the latest district news and announcements below.
WELCOME BACK!
We would like to thank all of our staff and students for a successful start to the 2021-2022 school year! It was wonderful to see students back in our buildings, ready to take on a new year full of new opportunities.
As we move forward in the new year, please remember to stay home if you are sick, follow all quarantine and testing guidelines, and continue to take the precautions necessary to keep our school community safe and healthy.
The latest OCS COVID-19 Protocols can be found on the district website: OCS COVID Protocols.
FUTURE-FOCUSED FAMILIES
In collaboration with the College Foundation of North Carolina and local partners, the OCS division of College and Career Readiness invites all high school students and families to virtual monthly meet-up sessions known as “Future-Focused Families.”
Topics will help guide families plan for enrolling, enlisting, and employment after high school. While the content may be most beneficial to high school seniors and their families, all are welcome and encouraged to attend one or all sessions.
The first virtual session, called Into the Unknown, will explore NC Careers and CFNC resources, focusing on how to use these tools to plan for the future. This session will be held Thursday, September 9 at 5:30 p.m. Register for the online event here: Future-Focused Families Registration.
RURAL TEACHER NETWORK
This month, the first cohort of the Public School Forum of North Carolina’s newly launched Rural Teacher Leader Network met. The network is designed to bring together diverse groups of educators across North Carolina who seek to strengthen their practice, foster community with teacher leaders from other rural districts and develop their own leadership capacity in order to guide other teachers in their schools. The network aims to create a strong and lasting community of rural educators with a focus on equity, trauma-informed practice, global education, and teacher leadership.
OCS is proud to have 10 of our teachers participating in this networking opportunity. Thank you to all the teachers who are representing Onslow County!
OCS HIRING BUS DRIVERS
OCS is hiring bus drivers! Starting pay for drivers is $15 an hour, and those who sign on now will receive a $2,500 sign-on bonus.
Training will be provided, and the district will help new hires obtain a CDL driver’s license. The next driver class will be held September 13-17. To be included in this class, apply by September 3 at www.onslow.k12.nc.us/busdriver.
