Today, NCPS celebrated our first-ever Transition Day, welcoming our Pre-K, Kindergarten, 6th-grade, and 9th-grade students for their first day of school. This special day gave students entering school for the first time or transitioning to a new building a little extra time and attention to meet their teachers, learn about their classes and expectations, enjoy breakfast and lunch, and become more comfortable with their new school environment.
It was a wonderful opportunity to help our students begin this next step on their pathway to success!
Have a great school year!
