Hello, OCS Family! Thank you for another great week of learning. Catch up on the latest district news and announcements below.
CALENDAR REMINDERS
We would like to remind our families that next week, March 29-April 2 is spring break for students and teachers. Monday, April 5 will be a teacher workday, and we will welcome students back on Tuesday, April 6.
On April 6, all in-person students K-12 will return to the classroom full time, five days a week.
PLAN A TRANSITION UPDATE
On March 24, 2021, NCDHHS updated the StrongSchoolsNC: Public Health Toolkit (K-12). The changes aligned the guidance document with recent updates from the CDC and "does not recommend daily COVID-19 symptom screening for all students at school entry."
To align with this new guidance from the state, beginning Tuesday, April 6, OCS will discontinue screening all students at school entry. Pre-K students will still be screened, as the guidance for those programs has not been updated at this time.
Parents, caregivers, or guardians are strongly encouraged to monitor their children for symptoms of infectious illness every day through home-based symptom screening. Students who are sick should not attend school in-person.
Face covers will still be required for all students and staff.
You can learn more about the transition to Plan A on the OCS website: Plan A Reopening Information.
NUTRITION HUB INFORMATION
Please note that all Student Nutrition Hubs will pause service during spring break next week.
Upon the return to school on April 6, Northside High School will be the only Student Nutrition Hub for the remainder of the school year. All other hubs will be closed.
The Northside High School nutrition hub will be open for curbside pick-up Monday-Friday, 8:45-10 a.m.
