Parents,
Please see the required immunization guidelines for North Carolina Public Schools. By law, students must be current with their immunizations by September 23, 2025. Please contact the school nurse or your healthcare provider for more information.
We had a great first day of school—it was wonderful to welcome our Red Devils back!
Just a couple of reminders:
We understand that bus routes are still a challenge, but we expect things to smooth out in the coming days. Please be patient with our drivers as they adjust to the updated routes. They are working hard and doing their best to transport students safely to and from school.
We encourage students to arrive at their bus stop 10–15 minutes early and to be prepared for possible delays.
If you have any questions or concerns about transportation, please don’t hesitate to contact the school.
We also want to remind everyone about our school dress code. This week, students are receiving reminders, and teachers are reviewing the guidelines with them. Parents, we ask that you please help by reviewing the dress code in the Parent/Student Handbook and ensuring your child is within the guidelines each day.
Thank you for your continued support!
N-CCS families, please share any "First Day of School Pictures" so we can share with our school community by sending your photos as attachments to nccs.communications@n-ccs.org.
By sharing these photos, you agree to allow the district to publicly share through our school district communications and social media.
We are excited to welcome back our N-CMS Red Devils and greet our new students as we kick off the school year on Monday, August 25!

Dear Parents/Guardians,
During the initial rollout of the new online student registration system, Infinite Campus, a technical issue caused some responses to be omitted from the form. To ensure we have complete and accurate information, we need all parents/guardians to complete the updated registration form linked below as soon as possible.

Please note: This form must be completed in order for your student to receive a Chromebook at the start of the school year.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through the challenges of this new system. Thank you for your prompt attention to this important step in preparing for a successful school year.
