📚✨ We are so excited to kick off Virginia Reads One Book on March 2nd! ✨📚
From March 2nd – March 20th, our school community will be diving into the classic story of friendship, courage, and kindness in Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White. Together, we’ll follow the unforgettable journey of Wilbur and Charlotte as we celebrate the power of words and the importance of caring for one another. 🕸️🐷
📦 Be on the lookout! Books, a reading calendar with our schedule, and an informational packet will be coming home with students this week so your family can follow along each night.
Reading together as a school—and as families at home—helps build strong readers and even stronger connections. We can’t wait to share special activities, discussions, and moments inspired by this timeless story.
Mrs. Williams will be posting the videos of her reading the chapters on our Website. Go check it out: https://www.nucps.net/o/nes/article/2737878
Get ready to spin a web of reading fun! 💛
Could one kind moment change a day? ✨ Meet our February Indians of the Month — students who chose empathy, listened with open hearts, and helped others shine. Their quiet acts of kindness ripple through the halls of NES and helped to brighten everyone's day‼️ 💚💛

❄️ A Special Message from Frank ❄️
No need to wait for the morning report—the snow is coming down fast and furious, and Frank says that’s definitely not the kind of "zoomies" we want on the roads tomorrow!
To keep all our kittens and humans safe, Northumberland County Public Schools will be CLOSED tomorrow, February 23.
Frank suggests you follow his lead: find a warm sunny spot (or a cozy blanket), stay off the icy paws-ways, and enjoy the day off!
Stay warm and stay safe, Indians!

🐾 Frank the Cat here.
I’m still watching the weather closely.
We’ll have a two-hour delay tomorrow, Monday, February 23, so we can assess conditions in the morning.
I’ll let you know by 7:00 AM if a full closure is needed.
🐾 Frank here.
Yes, I’m watching the weather very closely from my window.
If we need to call a delay or closure, you’ll hear from us by 5:00 AM.
Until then, I’ll remain on high alert… near the snacks, and my blanket.

Good afternoon NCPS Families,
With the threat of impending weather this weekend, we want to inform you of our plan!
IF we are out on Monday, February 23rd, this would be used as a traditional snow day.
IF we are out additional days, these will be remote learning days and students will complete the work that is being sent home today from their teachers.
While we are planning ahead, we will communicate further IF any closures or delays will be needed. Thank you!

🐾❄️ Snowfall Prediction Challenge Winners Recognized! ❄️🐾
Yesterday, we were excited to recognize the winners of our Snowfall Prediction Challenge, led by none other than Frank the Snowshoe Cat! 🐱☃️
👏 Congratulations to:
Alexis — NES
Paige — NMS
Each winner received a gift bag full of goodies as a thank-you for their awesome predictions and winter spirit! 🎁❄️
📏 The official snowfall total in the Town of Heathsville came in at 5 centimeters, measured before we were iced out. Frank says their guesses were purr-fectly on point! 🐾
Thanks to all our students who participated and helped make this snowy weekend extra fun. Stay warm, stay safe, and keep an eye out—Frank may be back with another challenge soon! ❄️🐱
NCPS will be operating on a 2-hour delay, Wednesday, February 4, 2026.
Northumberland County Public Schools will operate on a two-hour delay on Tuesday, February 3, 2026.
The "Slow & Steady" Approach: Roads are still a bit "sketchy," so take your time. No need to audition for Fast & Furious:
Safety First: We’re letting the sun do the heavy lifting before we head out.
Buses and bells will be exactly two hours behind their normal schedule. See you (slightly later) tomorrow!

For the safety of our students and staff, Northumberland County Public Schools will be closed Monday, February 2, 2026. There are still too many slick spots on roads, parking lots, and sidewalks. This is a traditional snow day, remote learning is not required.
Frank the Cat has a message for our Northumberland County Public Schools family.
"I’ve been watching the ice from my favorite windowsill, and it still looks a bit too slippery for our buses and paws. Because of those icy conditions, schools will remain closed this Friday, January 30."
"We’re going to curl up, stay cozy, and try this again on Monday! Please stay safe, stay warm, and maybe find a nice sunny spot for a nap. See you soon!"
Meow there, neighbors!
This is Frank the Cat calling with some important (and potentially cozy) news.
Since the roads are still looking more like a skating rink than a street, Northumberland County Public Schools will remain closed tomorrow, Thursday, January 29. It’s just too icy out there for buses, cars, and even four-wheel-drive paws.
