NCPTA is North Carolina’s oldest and largest volunteer organization advocating for the education, health, safety, and success of all children and youth while building strong families and communities.

 

The health, safety, and well-being of the children and their families across North Carolina is our main priority, so we have provided the following valuable resources to help parents stay informed:

• Resources on how parents may talk to their children in various languages from the National Association of School Psychologists.
• FAQs about coronavirus from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.
• School guidance on coronavirus from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.
• Ways to Stay Healthy to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
• FAQ about the coronavirus from the Center for Disease Control.
• More resources from the NC Division of Public Health.
• Timely information pertaining  to schools from the Department of Public Instruction.
• USDA program to continue school meal service while schools are temporarily closed due to coronavirus.

Seniors Only:

1. Bring All scholarship offers received to student services. EVEN if you are not accepting the offer. Last year our students earned over 5M in offers, lets see if we can beat that goal with the Class of 2020!
2. Do you want your name on the college map in the lobby? Drop off your acceptance letter to Student Services.
3. If your college/university has requested a mid-year transcript and you applied through Common App or Coalition App, your transcript was automatically uploaded mid-February. IF you did NOT use those websites but only used CFNC then you need to log into your CFNC account to send your mid-year transcript to the school that is requesting it. If your out of state college is requesting a mid-year transcript order at wcpss.scriborder.com and it will be processed mid-February.
4. Ms. Sykes is our AFHS financial aid advisor that visits each Monday. To make an appointment with Ms. Sykes please stop by student services.

 
AP Testing & Parent Volunteers:
If you are interested in volunteering for AP Testing anytime between May 4th-15th please email the Dean of Students, Kari Kite, at Kkite@wcpss.net. Parents must have volunteer clearance through WCPSS. You will be assigned to proctor a test that your student is not participating in. Need to start the volunteer clearance process? Sign up in the front office.
All spring AP students were given instructions to register for the AP exams for this school year. Fall AP students registered in the fall to take the test in May. If your spring AP student has questions, they should contact their current AP instructors this coming week. Spring AP students must register by March 13^th to avoid a late registration fee.

Rising Seniors (Current 11^th):
North Carolina law now requires all rising 12th graders receive a meningococcal vaccine booster before starting 12th grade. The vaccination must be done before the 20-21 school year begins.  Parents will need to provide a copy of their child’s immunization record showing proof that the meningococcal vaccine has been completed prior to the first day of school. Drop off to student services or fax: 919-694-0526.https://www.wcpss.net/domain/16537
