Below you will find information about kindergarten registration, remote learning, and collection of 1:1 devices. Please read over this information and mark these dates on your calendar. If you know of families that will have a child that will reach the age of five on or before August 31, 2020 please share this information with them.

We will be sending out detailed information on the process of closing out school in the next few weeks. In order to help with this process, we will continue to have the drop off bin outside the front off (weather permitting) so that you can drop off completed work and library books. If your child has a library book checked out from the media center or their classroom, please return these books to the bin by May 29th. Weekend food bags will be outside and ready for pick up on Thursday from 10AM-8PM.

Beginning May 11, parents in Onslow County will have the opportunity to complete kindergarten registration online. The registration site will be housed on the Onslow County Schools district website at www.onslow.k12.nc.us and any child domiciled in Onslow County who will reach age five on or before August 31, 2020 is eligible for kindergarten.

As part of the kindergarten registration process, parents will need to submit digital copies (scans or pictures) of the following with their registration:

• proof of birth date (birth certificate)
• proof of domicile such as a current (within 30 days) electric or water bill showing the parent/guardian name and address
• copy of the parent/guardian photo ID

Immunization records and the North Carolina Health Assessment will be required prior to the student’s first day but may also be uploaded with the enrollment packet.

If your child will be attending Hunters Creek Middle next year, please click on the link below to watch the following videos with your child . The videos showcase the fine arts programs available to them next year at Hunters Creek. The second link provided is for the students to sign up for which encore classes they would like to take next year. The sign-in will be how they sign into office 365, username and password.

We will continue to provide remote learning opportunities through June 9th, the end of the school year. However, remote instruction will transition from core instruction to supplemental instruction beginning June 1, 2020. Supplemental instruction includes extension, enrichment, and review. Teachers will post these activities on their website by May 29th. Printed copies will be made available upon request. If you request a paper copy, these materials will not be returned to school for a grade or feedback.

Laptop collections will be on June 4th and 5th from 12:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m. We will set up a drive thru where your child's laptop and charger will be collected and checked off by Mrs. Meadows and our IT team. If your child does not return the power cord it will be noted that it was not returned by the student. All devices must be turned in at the school the child attends. At this time, your child will also be given their end of the year report card. Please be on the lookout for more information!

Due to school closures because of COVID-19 and to maintain the continuity of digital instruction, the OCS Instructional Technology Department has implemented a plan to repair broken or malfunctioning district-issued student devices. Students will be able to drop off a broken or malfunctioning district-issued laptop, have an IT Technician repair the device, and have it ready to be picked up within 24 hours.

District-issued student laptops requiring repair can be dropped off between 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. at the following locations:

Locations:

Dixon Elementary School

Hunters Creek Elementary School

Jacksonville High School

Northside High School

Richlands Elementary School

Southwest High School

Swansboro High School

*There will be a Technician in the front office area during these times to receive laptops.

The student/parent should plan on the student being without a device for the following 24 hours.

Students may pick up their laptops at the same location on the following day between the hours of 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.

THE STUDENT MUST BE PRESENT TO PICK UP THE DEVICE ONCE IT IS REPAIRED BECAUSE THE STUDENT WILL BE REQUIRED TO LOGIN TO THE DEVICE WHILE IT IS ON OUR NETWORK.

Technical support may be accessed via phone at 910-989-2101 from 8:00am to 4:00pm Monday through Friday.
