` PARENT SECTION Starting the School Year What parents/guardians need to know about… COMMUNICATING WITH SCHOOL When parents and teachers stay in touch - through telephone calls, conferences, notes, e-mails, and letters - students benefit. Your interest and involvement in your child's education is a key to academic success. To make an appointment with a teacher, school counselor, or administrator, just contact the school office to set up a convenient time and date to meet. You are encouraged to attend the activities at your child's school; to attend scheduled conferences with teachers and to make appointments for conferences to review the educational progress of your child; to volunteer in your child's school; and to join the school PTA, PTO, Boosters and School Improvement Team. POWERSCHOOL The state replaced the NCWISE system with the PowerSchool solution from Pearson. This centralized, user-friendly Student Information System will provide North Carolina school districts with more comprehensive and real-time information to better track and analyze information pertaining to students. It also includes several new features that will impact the performance and engagement of all key stakeholders. Student and Parent portals are highlighted components of the new system, and will be accessible to all students and parents with internet access. EMERGENCY INFORMATION CARD It is important for the school to be kept up to date on work, home, and cell telephone numbers as well as the names of people to contact in case of emergency. Parents/guardians will receive an emergency information card from the school to fill out and return. If any of the information changes during the course of the school year, including those people with permission to pick up your child from school, parents/guardians should contact the school office immediately. School personnel will require photo identification from anyone who comes to school to pick up a child. EMERGENCY SCHOOL CLOSINGS, EARLY DISMISSALS, LATE OPENINGS & SPECIAL OPERATIONAL DELAYS Changes to school schedules caused by inclement weather or other emergency conditions are announced through the ParentLink automated telephone notification system and on major area radio and television stations. Announcements can also be found on EdTV, the local cable educational access station. More information regarding channels, coverage and streaming can be found at www.edtvnc.org. In addition, notices are posted on the school system's web site ,www.nrms.k12.nc.us, and on the the school system’s social media pages. The school system's web site, Facebook page, Twitter page, and EdTV remain the best places to check for accurate, up-to-date information. Phone numbers used by the Parent Link system are pulled from each school's student information system. It is critical for parents/guardians to keep emergency contact numbers up to date at their child's school so they can be contacted. 2013-14 School Entry Requirements ENROLLMENT AND RESIDENCY To enroll a new student, the biological parent or court-awarded guardian/custodian must provide: • the child's evidence of birth • proof of residence (proof of residency includes mortgage papers/lease, and one additional supporting documentation such as a utility bill) • a copy of the immunization record • a completed NRMPS Residency Form K-8 Students will be enrolled at the NRMPS Data and Registration Centers.
