Yesterday Mrs. McDowell's class dissected sheep eyes. The students did a great job. We also enjoyed having a few extra helping hands with the laboratory exercises.
Yesterday, the staff enjoyed sharing recipes, food, and fellowship. Thank you to the school and community members who supported the food and setup.
Project Child Find is a North Carolina initiative designed to locate, identify, and evaluate children from birth to age 21 who may have disabilities and need special education services. It helps families and educators connect with resources, assessments, and early interventions to support children's educational needs. Services are free and available through local school districts and community agencies. Parents, guardians, and concerned individuals can refer a child for evaluation if developmental delays or learning difficulties are observed.
This information is also available on the district website.

Stokes County Schools will be on a regular schedule with limited bus routes on Thursday, January 16, 2025.
Several roads that we did not allow buses to travel have improved.
Each day, schools will call the families who live on the roads that our buses will not travel the following day.
Please be safe and allow for extra travel time to school. Remember that we will not count any student late to school as tardy for the remainder of this week.

Stokes County Schools will be on a three-hour delay on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, and will have limited bus routes.
The majority of roads in Stokes County will be fine in the morning. There may be a few patchy problem spots. There are a few roads on which we will not send buses. This will affect less than 2% of our students. Schools are calling the families who live on the roads where we will not send buses.
Please know that we make weather decisions primarily based on our bus routes and the majority of our students. We are making this decision early so you can check your route to school, especially if you decide to allow your child to drive to school tomorrow.
Please take your time and be safe when coming to school. To allow time for safe travel, schools will not count tardies for the remainder of this week.
