Dear NCPS Community,

Don't miss any updates from your school. Please refer to the image for more details.

Last month NHS Aquaculture students Ann Rice and Tawny Bowis, with their teacher Gary Dickens, presented the webinar "Northumberland Aquaculture" through the Aquaculture Information Exchange. This webinar, which details their experiences in NHS's Aquaculture course, is now available on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZo_3GyYn6o&feature=youtu.be

Thank you for a wonderful semester of growth and discovery. May your holidays be as bright as your potential. Stay safe and Happy Holidays.

To the Northumberland County Public Schools Community: Teachers, Staff, Students, and Families,

We are thrilled to share some outstanding news with you all. We have received official notification that every school within Northumberland County Public Schools has achieved Full Accreditation for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year.

This significant designation from the Virginia Department of Education is not just a badge of honor; it is a validation of the hard work happening in our classrooms every single day. Full accreditation signifies that our schools meet or exceed rigorous state standards for academic achievement, achievement gaps, student attendance, graduation rates, and more.

This success does not happen in isolation. It is the direct result of:

Our Amazing Teachers and Staff: Your dedication to our students, your expertise in instruction, and your commitment to continuous improvement drive our success. Thank you for the tireless effort you pour into your work.

Our Determined Students: You showed up, worked hard, and rose to the challenges placed before you. We are incredibly proud of your growth.

Our Supportive Families: Your partnership in your child’s education is invaluable. Thank you for trusting us and collaborating with us to ensure student success.

This is a tremendous community achievement, and we should all take a moment to feel proud of the direction our division is heading.

For those interested in reviewing detailed data and learning more about the specific metrics used for accreditation, we encourage you to review the Virginia Department of Education’s School Quality Profiles at: https://schoolquality.virginia.gov/
