Below you will find two resources. The first is a link to a PowerPoint presentation. It is a requirement that we share this information with the parents. The second is a link to a survey that allows us to document that we have shared the Title 1 information with you and allow you to give us feedback on how we are doing. Please take a moment and share with us.

It is very important that car rider parents to not entered the shared campus of Swansboro High School and Queens Creek Elementary School before 2:45. Our line quickly backs up and begins to interfere with High School dismissal. Because of this, cars that arrive prior to 2:45 will be asked to leave campus and return after 2:45. Thank you for your understanding.

In accordance to NC Department of Health and Human Services, OCS has updated the daily screening questions to include members of the household. If your child's situation warrants an affirmative response to any of these questions, the staff of QCE are required to follow the plan outlined in the Flow Chart below.

1. Do you know if you have been around anyone diagnosed with COVID-19?
2. Since you were last at school, have you had a fever, chills, had trouble breathing, been coughing, or lost your sense of taste or smell?
3. Since you were last at school, has anyone in your household developed a fever, chills, had trouble breathing, been coughing, or lost your sense of taste or smell?

COVID-19 Screening Flow Chart

Good afternoon! Great news! Breakfast and lunch will be free for students through the rest of the year! What a relief for so many families during such a difficult time. The last thing families should worry about is having the funds to feed their children.

Parents, you can now pay all fees online. Please click the button below to set up your account. It is fast and secure.

Car Rider Parents, Please continue to display the yellow window card until your child enters your car. The best place to display the yellow card is over the passenger side visor. This will assist the staff to quickly load the students into the cars safely.

All afternoon transportation changes will happen within the School Dismissal Manager system. This eliminates the need for notes that don't always reach the teachers or emails to the front office that might not be seen until after dismissal. All changes need to happen before 2:00pm. At 2:15pm each teacher is sent an email with a list of all his/her students and how each one is getting home.

If you still have not claimed your account, please email either the jill.yager@onslow.k12.nc.us or michelle.staley@onslow.k12.nc.us and they will assist you.

PLASTIC:

- Five plastic bottles (PET) recycled provides enough fiber to create one square feet of carpet or enough fiber fill to fill one ski jacket.

- Americans throw away 2.5 million plastic bottles every hour.

- Recycling one ton of plastic bottles saves the equivalent energy usage of a two person household for one year.

*PLEASE make sure to recycle your plastic bottles!!

The QCE Kindergarten Team is collecting dried up markers to donate to Crayola as part of the Crayola ColorCycle program. Crayola repurposes old markers and converts them into energy and wax compounds, recycling every part of the marker no matter the assembly or type of plastic. The markers do not have to be Crayola brand, the program accepts any and all markers. If you or your students have any markers that dry up, instead of throwing them away, please consider donating them to a kindergarten teacher to contribute to the ColorCycle program. Thank you!
