Youth Leadership Rolesville Applications:  It is hard to believe, but it is time for the next of applications for the 2020-21 Youth Leadership Rolesville cohort.  This opportunity is for students who live in the 27571 zip code. It follows a Hugh O’Brien leadership model and allows students to learn about and contribute to their community.  Students visit and learn about local landmarks, the local government, meet people who are central to the function of Rolesville and more. They also participate in projects that help them grow through unique experiences that are not replicated within the school.  Applications can be found online at 

https://rolesvillechamber.org/youth-leadership-rolesville/ and are due by February 29th.

Schedule Change Requests for Second Semester:  Online requests can be made from January 6th-10th.

Elizabeth City State University Winter Open House Bus Trip:  ECSU is offering a bus trip for interested students to visit campus on Feb. 11th.  The $25 fee covers the bus ride from Tower Shopping Center (behind Popeyes) to campus and arrival back to campus around 11:30 PM. Lunch and a basketball game will also be included. Students who are interested may come to Student Services to get an application.  Applications should be sent soon as this opportunity is first-come, first served.

Daily Announcements:  Sometimes, students say that they missed announcements for a variety of reasons.  If you want to make sure your family is aware of the announcements (sports, arts, testing, schedules) that impact students day-to-day, check our school website under “Our School” and then “Daily Announcements.”
