Sign up for PowerSchool Parent Portal
Monitor your child's grades, attendance, and other student information through the PowerSchool Parent Portal. You can even update your contact information if your telephone number or email address changes. You can download the PowerSchool app for your iPhone or Android phone. It's a great way to stay connected to your child's teachers and school. You can get the Access ID and Password from their child's school. They have to have that to connect to the student. The district code for the phone app is ZDZX. The app should ask for that the first time they log onto it.
Meals and School Nutrition
Healthy, nutritious food fuels our students for learning. View menus, prices, and meal forms.
Student Support Services
Did you know NCPS provides students and families with comprehensive counseling and other support services? Each school has personnel assigned to support whole child development outside the instructional process. From mental health support to college and career counseling, NCPS Student Support Services are available. Learn more at student support services.
Immunizations and Vaccinations
All students enrolling in school must submit an immunization record within 30 calendar days of enrollment. There are additional immunization requirements for students entering 7th and 12th grade. These requirements must be met within 30 calendar days of the opening day of school.

Medications
We recognize that students may need to take medication during school hours. Students should take medications at home rather than at school whenever feasible to minimize disruptions to the school day. Medication, including over-the-counter and emergency medications [ie. rescue inhaler or epi-pen] may only be administered at school upon receipt of a completed Medication Authorization form. In limited circumstances, a student may be allowed to self-administer medications. A licensed healthcare provider and the student's parent/guardian must complete the authorization form. Please refer to the District Medication Policy #6125 for more information or contact your school nurse. Medication forms are required annually.
Medication Authorization form. (SPANISH FORM) Other forms are not accepted.
Please visit our School Nurse Page for additional information.
Health Assessment
State law requires that every child entering public school in North Carolina for the first time receives a health assessment. The health assessment must be completed by a licensed health care provider and the date of examination can be no more than 1 year prior to the first day of attendance. The completed assessment form must be submitted within the first 30 calendar days of enrollment.
NC Health Assessment Form. (SPANISH FORM) Other forms are not accepted.
