From Lenoir County Public Schools Superintendent Brent Williams:

As you know, our schools are closed for students for at least the next two weeks. Tomorrow, Monday, March 16, 2020 is a required workday for LCPS staff members. This will be a good opportunity for students and parents to recover any educational or personal items that they may need during the time that our schools are closed.  

Monday also will be an opportunity for parents and students to pick up any school-issued iPads that they might not have already. During the morning hours, teachers and other staff members will be engaged in meetings about the closure of our schools and in planning sessions for developing online and print-version learning opportunities to support learning during this period of closure. We are asking parents who might need to visit the school to pick up these items to do so between the hours of 2:00 pm and 5:30pm. (Please use this updated time if you were given another time earlier today or yesterday.)

By the end of the day tomorrow, Monday, March 16, 2020, LCPS will be sharing with you a range of online and traditional print-version supplemental resources and activities that will help students remain engaged in learning while the schools are closed.  

Our staff members also have been working on a plan to continue child nutrition at selected locations daily during the closure, starting Tuesday, March 17.  Specific feeding sites and hours of operation will be announced tomorrow.

Thank you for your support as we continue to work through this difficult situation together.
