Mt. Vernon Community School Corporation is where parents choose to send their children, students are successful, highly qualified personnel desire to work, and the community is proud to support. We are committed to serving a diverse population in a safe, secure, and challenging learning environment where students are engaged in rigorous, relevant and technologically-enhanced curriculum. Student success is nurtured through diverse instructional methods enabled by partnerships fostered between students, parents, school, and community. A strategic and fiscally responsible approach insures a sustainable, highly effective learning experience inside and outside the classroom. We respect the uniqueness of each student as we engage, educate, and empower them to seize their futures as responsible members of society.
We are Natrona County`s only public school district, serving the education needs of about 13,072 students in preschool through 12th grade in the city of Casper, as well as the surrounding towns of Alcova, Bar Nunn, Edgerton, Evansville, Mills, Midwest, and Powder River. In NCSD, we are committed to providing optimum learning opportunities for every child. We are an open enrollment district, meaning parents can choose from any of our 35 schools for their children, regardless of where in the county they reside. We believe that families know their children best, and we understand no single learning environment will meet the needs of every child. We know that today`s students need far more than the traditional reading, writing, and arithmetic lessons. In NCSD, we strive to provide all students with optimum learning opportunities and the tools, skills, and knowledge they will need to be successful in the 21st Century. As the largest employer in Natrona County, we also know we play a vital role in the community. We offer jobs to nearly 3,000 people in the county, providing competitive salaries and benefits, as well as continual learning opportunities for our staff and faculty. Every member of our team demonstrates a commitment to putting children first. Together, NCSD and its community are committed to empowering every learner to grow, excel and be a successful contributor to the global and local community.
Harnett County Schools Staff, Teachers and Parents - The last several days have been challenging to all of us. I hope that you have not been impacted too severely by the storm. Some of us have sustained damage and others did not have any damage. In the midst of all of this, we have shown the character of the staff of Harnett County Schools. Maintenance and Transportation staff were out during the raging storm to assist those in need. Child nutrition staff and Custodial Services staff were on the scene to minimize the loss and damage to our schools. We are indeed fortunate to have them as members of our Harnett County Schools family. As we recover from Hurricane Matthew I want you to know the reasoning behind the decisions that have been made. Safety of everyone is our first priority. Not all of our schools had power until today. There are approximately 25 roads in Harnett County that are impassable. Some of those roads may take months to repair. Power lines are still down and some of our residents do not have power restored yet. Bus routes are being modified based upon the road closures. Students, Staff and their families are cleaning up debris and damage from the storm. All of this has been considered as I make the decision concerning whether we come to school. As we move forward, I know there are questions as to when will we make up these days. At this point I can say that we are looking at all the options available so that we can best meet the needs of our students and staff. As it stands now, we will have an Optional Teacher Workday tomorrow and a 2 hour delay on Monday. The reasoning of the 2 hour delay is so our bus drivers and staff do not have to drive on roads in the dark. Safety of everyone is still our first priority. In the event of unforeseen circumstances and if we have to adjust the dates or times, please know that it would be out of necessity. In the midst of all of this, I had a request from a school to gather school supplies to send to schools in other counties that have had it much worse that we have. What an awesome act as this typifies the heart of Harnett County Schools Staff. I am honored to work in this county and am proud that we have rallied together and are again moving forward.
