We are thrilled to welcome our amazing new hires and Beginning Teachers (BTs) to the Newton-Conover City Schools family!
Welcome aboard, new hires and BTs! Together, we will continue to inspire, educate, and make a difference in the lives of our students.
As our students prepare to head back to school for the 2024-2025 school year, NCCS is proud to announce that it will continue to offer CEP (Community Eligibility Provision) at five schools in the district.
Utilizing CEP, all students at the five eligible school sites will be able to access nutritious meals at no cost. This is important as school meal programs play a crucial role in ensuring kids have the nutrition they need to thrive in and out of the classroom.
The five schools approved are Conover School, Shuford Elementary, North Newton Elementary, Sout Newton Elementary, and new for this year - NC Middle School. For schools not currently approved - a review of eligibility criteria is conducted each year to assess if other schools can be added.
CEP is a federally funded program that enables qualifying schools to serve meals at no cost to students based on the percentage of Identified Students at the qualifying sites that currently receive services through the county.
It is important that families take advantage and utilize this program while it is available, as it is not guaranteed every year and can help ease some of our family's financial burdens. As always, support for and participation in our School Nutrition program is essentail for us to continue providing low-cost, well-balanced meals for our students each and every day.
