COMMUNITY SCHOOL VISITS Opening Our Schools to Stakeholders Many district partners - community businesses, faith-based, elected officials, parents, and school administrators have been enjoying weekly visits to a different school each week during the school year. These weekly visits allowed one school each week to be in the spotlight as they have the opportunity to tell guests about the great things happening at their schools. Principals began by providing an overview of the school and achievements – then our students took over. They act as tour guides leading visitors through classrooms to observe instruction and informing folks about the great things happening at their schools. It was so refreshing to hear the excitement and see the enthusiasm of students talk about their school. Everyone in the community was invited. Visits were scheduled from September through April. The schedule may be found on the district’s website at: http://www.rss.k12.nc.us/school-visits Board Cork news School Visit Schedule Area School Date Time South CLMS March 2 8:30 am North NR Elem March 9 8:30 am West MT.
