OCS Family Updates - November 8, 2024

Dear Orange County Schools Families,

We have four brief updates to start this Veterans Day weekend:

• Veterans Day
• School Bond Approved
• OCS Family Academy, November 14
• Congratulations Mr. Joubert, EC Teacher of Excellence!
   

Veterans Day

Monday, November 11 is Veterans Day. All OCS schools and facilities will be closed for the holiday. Please join us in honoring our alumni, families, staff, and community members who have served honorably in our nation’s armed forces. Thank you, veterans!
 

 

School Bond Approved

Thank you to our community! In the 2024 general election, voters approved the Orange County School Bond and authorized the $300 million general obligation (GO) bond to repair, renovate, and replace facilities in Orange County Schools and Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools. Learn more and stay up to date here on our website.
 

OCS Family Academy, November 14

Parents, connect with us on Thursday, November 14 at Gravelly Hill Middle School for “Understand Your Child’s Rights,” an interactive parent session offered by OCS Family Academy. 
 

Learn how you can advocate for your child’s rights and journey with us as partners to support your child’s needs. A food truck will sell dinner starting at 5:30 p.m. Executive Director of Exceptional Children and Pre-K Services, Stacey Burns, will host an interactive discussion from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. We hope to see you there!
